Engrish Shirts #3

Today was a slow day, but it wouldn’t be complete without another ElJohn (seriously, do they love him here or what?). On the plus side, one of the kids said “what, are you going to put this in a blog or something?” to which I replied “Of course not, I’m just going to show it to some friends” (all 300 billion of them on the internet :D)

Engrish Shirts #1

Armed with a new camera that can withstand the brunt of energetic kids (the Olympus Stylus-8000 Tough), I bring you the first pictures of fun Engrish shirts.

A bit deeper than I expect when I think “Airwalk”, but I guess it ties in.

AIRWALK
A DAILY DOSE OF FREEDOM
inner peace and enlightenment can only be achieved after there are no places left on your body to bruise
Airwalk
A DAILY DOSE OF FREEDOM
when this happens, take a moment to look down, and realize you’ve found the ground whether you’re ready or not
upon the attempt to transcend the metaphysical one can easily get lost alone

One word… “ElJohn”? Seriously?

FULL-BLOWN DIGNITY
Loud Exclamation
QUICK AS GREASED LIGHTNING
STRUGGLING AGAINST
DIFFICULTIES FOR THE SAKE
OF VENGEANCE
FULL-BLOWN DIGNITY
THE FINISHING
TOUCHES
ElJohn
struggling against difficulties for the sake of vengeance

iPhone App Updated

If you have purchased the app in the past you can now upgrade to v1.1.1.

One of the key new features is the addition of Resume Playback. The app now keeps track of where you are in an episode, so if you get a call or quit out of the app while playing (other than hitting the done button) the app will take you back to where you were the next time you open it up or after the call ends.

The new version also improves stability and load times.

Don’t forget about all the other benefits you get by purchasing the app – such as special bonus content, ease in contacting the show as well as other features.

iPhone App Success

I want to give a big thanks to everyone who’s bought our iPhone App so far. Our app is currently on the front page of the iTunes App Store under the Staff Picks section so apparently someone at Apple likes it too. If you haven’t checked it out yet and own an iPhone or iPod Touch, go and get it now!
