Friday LinkFrogging - 9/23/11

You know how you can tell when your website has arrived?

Its that moment when you discover that someone has taken one of your signature images and is selling merchandise without your knowledge.

Right Stephe?

That's right kids, last night Stephe discovered a guy selling iToad merch on RedBubble.  He immediately sent a cease and desist to the clown.  The offender has since removed the images that were "sent to him" so our mascot is safe.

Besides, if there's money to be made off iToad, we'll be the ones to do it.

For this week's cheesecake selection, I decided to try something different.  I outsourced the selection.  Sure, I've let the other GonzoGeeks choose from time to time, but this week I went outside the family.

Why?

Isn't outsourcing the new American Way?

I just wanted to see what would happen.  Call it an exercise in different perspective.

So, please say hello to this week's cheesecake, as chosen by David Cantu, Jill McCormick.

Who?

Ms. McCormick is a model and the wife of Pearl Jam frontman, Eddie Vedder.

How is that relevant?

Pearl Jam 20, Cameron Crowe's documentary about the band opens in limited release today.  Tha'ts all the reason we really need.
