It’s been quite a turbulent year this year.

I wish they did books too! I ordered these mugs before Christmas. Took a while to get them, but they came! The quality of the product is awesome. Even though the mugs are made in china, the print is just perfect. There are no bumps where the graphic was applied, and no white box border! [...]
Blurb, an online service, web2.0 whatever, where their customers can create their own books from their own content.
