I’m a nerd, and if you deem yourself awesome enough to also fly the nerd flag, then I have the AWESOMEST website for you. 

ShirtPunch

Yes, it’s as awesome as it sounds.

But what is it you ask?  Below is their own simple answer:
“It’s simple; ShirtPunch is your home for limited edition, pop culture tees… but there’s a twist! We only offer one shirt every 24-hours, and they’re always only $10”

How awesome is that!?!?

This site just started up and has been selling shirts for just over 2 weeks.  Because they’re so new, there are still a couple of issues with their site. I learned this, the awesome way, today. 

Quick back story: I was trying to purchase today’s shirt, which is an awesome rendition of a beer label. The beer is called ‘Hogwarts’ – Imported Muggle Ale, Dumbledortmunder Red.  HOW AWESOME IS THAT!?!

So I logged on but realized I had forgotten my password, no worries, there’s a “Forget Your Password” link, which I clicked… and clicked… and clicked… and clicked… nothing, noda, zip, zilch.

Freaking out cause I really want this shirt and it’s only available for 11 more hours I sent the following email.

HELP! Trying to order today’s shirt but can’t remember my password and the ‘Forget Your Password’ link doesn’t seem to work.
Don’t want to miss today’s AWESOME shirt! Please send password!!

Thank you,
Mona

and being awesome, Russ replied right away.

Oh no!

Well….you’re right, the password button doesn’t work. We actually don’t have a way to get your password. Believe it or not, that’s a really complicated process to allow us to do that. We can do 3 different things here:

1) You can keep trying passwords until you get in, lol
2) I can delete your account and u can remake it
3) You can make another account and use that one for today

We’ll have the password recovery in soon, but until we do, these are our only options.

I hope this helps!
Russ

… HOW AWESOME WAS THAT REPLY?? So I replied.

Russ,

Wow, that was awesomely hilarious. Out of my 3 options I think I’ll go with #3, break all the rules, and use my work email address.

thanks for the laugh,
Mona

And not to be undone Russ replied again.

hahaha

Thanks for being so understanding Mona.

When building this program, we assumed it was a simple process to put in a password recovery….boy were we wrong! It’s beyond complicated. Everything’s encrypted and so difficult to access.

We’ll get it going very shortly though!
Russ

So in closing I created a new account, was able to order my awesome shirt and now have a serious crush on Russ, sorry Hubby.
