If you comment here on the site (or ghost or lurk or whatever other creepy name they give readers that don’t post these days) then you’ve seen Allan’s name now and again.
Here’s his computer, all fancied up with a Hubris sticker.
Did you want a sticker like it? They’re three or four inches across, I think, and they’re paper, so they don’t handle the outdoors well (tested one on my truck. It’s sort of a wrinkledy white scrap of disreputable paper after a month.) but they make fine additions to your laptop, your skate deck (where they can be ground off and replaced occasionally), your refrigerator or whatever fairly flat surface you desire. Click on the Contact or the Email buttons right here on this site and tell me where you’d like your sticker (possibly two or even three, depending on the weather or my mood or the alignment of the stars) mailed to. You’ll then owe me a photo of the sticker after it’s been stuck. Remember to only stick ’em on your own stuff. Rude to put ’em on everybody’s stuff or anyone else’s stuff, you know.
So far, my Hubris stickers have done well on my car. The only thing I expect to happen is that they will fade from the sun.
Are they the round ones or the square ones? The round ones are UV resistant and have weatherproof adhesive. It’s the square ones that don’t hold up outdoors.
I have the round one on my car door, and I have the square one on a side panel on my car.
Since you’re giving them away…
Sure, I’ll take a few, thanks.
Woohoo! It’s like Christmas in… December… hm.
Yep. I’ll celebrate the holidays by givin’ away a few stickers! Remember you gotta send photos of where they’re stuck!
Not a problem, ‘be a pleasure.
I realize now, that those two stickers are gonna hurt retail value of TUBI. (The Unholy Beast Incarnate.) She’s an Asus G53Sw-A1 and retailed at $1500 … I’ll be lucky – with the gunk from the stickers – to get $400 now. OH well, I plan on keepin’ this baby for another year or so.
Oh, come now. You know better than anyone that’s a VS custom original machine, and will wind up in the Toronto Museum of VanderSpek Memorabilia by the end of the century. The sticker, being part of the customization, will eventually be steamed free of the computer itself and sold at Sotheby’s for nearly the cost of the parts of the initial iteration of the computer it had been stuck to.
