Above: samples from my first batch of MOO cards.
Last week, I ordered (due to various reasons) my first batch of 100 MOO Minicards. These MOO cards are smaller (28×70mm) than traditional business cards. One side you can put (cropped version of) photograph and to the otherside you can put (at max) 6 lines of text and small logo. What makes MOO cards really unique is that you can select different photograph for each and everyone of your business cards (but each batch is 100 cards). I used 54 photographs for my first batch so I got two business cards from most photographs, but some are unique as well.
What comes to text part, I decided to use my six lines in following fashion:
Juha Ylitalo
+358 40 562 6152
juha@ylitalot.netValokuvia: http://www.ylitalot.net/
Photographs: http://www.ylitalot.com/
If you want to create some MOO mini cards for yourself, there are two things that you should know:
- flickr’s MOO Card Design group instructs that photographs should be cropped to 1600×692 aspect ratio (and don’t crop it too tightly …)
- 2RB2CK promotional code will give you 15% discount, if you are making your first order from moo.com
If you want to get one of my cards, you can ask them from me in street, workplace, taiji practise or someother situation, when we are physically at same location. You might also find some of my cards from geocaches, if I’ve found some travel bug from it or I feel that geocache deserves some kind of memorial from me. If you want some specific MOO card, let me know advance, so that it won’t get given out to someone else …

Crash & Burn

It starts to look like I made one bad mistake on my Amazon purchase process and its going to be, relatively speaking, expensive one to fix unless some miracles happen. I ordered book two weeks before I need it, so I didn’t bother to pay too much attention to shipping speed, since it wasn’t like they would ship it from west coast of USA.
As the days pass by and there is still no note from Itella about delivery, I finally went to check what the heck is going on with my order and then I noticed note ’shipping method: standard 4-14 business days’ and there went my good mood out of the window. To make things worse, there isn’t any kind of tracking code with it, so its impossible to check whether there is any chance for it to come on time or whether its time to accept loses and go to local bookstore to buy it.
At least now I will remember to double check delivery times and assume worse, if I will one day buy more items from Amazon.
