The new Driven By Boredom shop launched today and I launched a super limited new product and I wanted to hit you with a quick B-Side post about it. I had been using Etsy for years but for a bunch of reason I switched over. Big Cartel looks better, I have a custom domain and my fees are way lower. I do have to pay a monthly fee, which is not ideal if I am not selling stuff, but hopefully it makes sense for everyone. At least now you don’t have to sign up for an account or anything.

I came up with this idea probably more than a decade ago and then idea was to have a section of my site where I could just blog without having to do a full proper post.
