So hello out there!

And welcome to the Paranoid Creative blog, where I'll be rambling on all sorts of stuff, from the launch of our CafePress store, to anything that crosses my tiny little mind on pop culture, branding, CafePress, etc.

As far as our store -- my goal was to celebrate the stuff I love -- TV, movies, books, pop culture -- especially the genre stuff. So TV-wise, you'll find stuff inspired by everything from Battlestar Galactica, to House, Veronica Mars, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, NewsRadio, Project Runway, 24, and more. While movie inspirations include movies like Rushmore, Pirates of the Caribbean, Bring it On, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and much more.

The only thing any of these has in common? The delivery of a perfect witticism. (I worship at the altar of snark.)

So check out our site, at www.ParanoidCreative.com, and enjoy! I've had a blast putting it together, and we now offer all sorts of goodies (gifts, apparel, home/office, more) directly inspired by, and celebrating, nerddom, dorkitude, pop culture, sitcoms, movies, etc. Plus some silly humor. And a few lapses into inspirational stuff (although most of the site is satisfyingly bitter and sarcastic).

In short, we're a total waste of time! So you'll hopefully find something to laugh with. (Or at -- hey, I'm not picky.)

Our current, silly (yet surprisingly popular) TV/fandom products include colorful and vibrant shirts, mugs, stickers, magnets, mousepads, and more on such important themes as:

Cheers!
