There are now only few days left to submit your designs for our current "Out and About" competition. The response has been good and, as always, its great to see such diverse response to the theme. Yes, its true, we have gone a little easier on what's related to theme but we love the mix of designs you have submitted. This competition, as you know, is being done in association with Popdeck.com so make sure you submit your designs to both sites to qualify for gold prize. Also don't forget to vote on both sites because we will be looking at both scores for the gold prize. Only one design will be printed on a skateboard deck and it will be exciting to see which design you have liked most. You can get all the templates here and here.

If you haven't voted yet, the submissions are waiting for your votes so sure you visit the voting galleries and tell us how much you like them.

As always, if there are any new features you would like to see on the site or have some suggestions for our future competition themes ..then please let us know. You can use our online form or send an email to us directly at more[at]allmightys.com.Have a great weekend all!!

You The Designer has just announced winner of our joint mini contest for 2 free tees (P&P included) to the comment that best describes "why outdoors is way more fun than indoors".

The winner is Lori:

“I really love the outdoors because it means forgetting about the world and being free. I don’t have to think about deadlines and stroke lines, just what flavor ice cream I want when I sit on the grass and watch the clouds make shapes.” Lori


Here are some other great entries that unfortunately didn't make it:

_{Nature in general is very inspirational.. What drives me out from home is actually the sea.. and the sand.. I live in small town here in Italy close to the sea and the name is “Senigallia-The velvet sand” because of the wonderful beach that we have.. What inspire me most is the space without limits in front of you when you point the view from the water to the horizon..}

_{Outside, after a winter cooped up,
Is breezes and birches and sun.
Outside, after months indoors,
Is sneezes and searches and fun.
Sorry, I can never resist a bit of doggerel. ;o)}
Kdfrawg -

_{It is not beauty or attributes that are the inspiration. Nature, the world’s canvas, reflects every heart and soul gazing on it by drawing the essence of who you are by reflection in your mind of what you see. Nature as purity, stillness and rest, portrays that deep self which our world no longer accepts in a fast paced society: innocence. It therefore guides way to nature inspiring your heart - whereas, it is your heart that has inspired the vision and interpetation of nature. One Creator; one core; all creation.}

_{I love the outdoors because it reminds me how fragile life really is.}
Jon

_{i love being outside because no matter how amazing your printer is, how fantastic of a camera you have, or how many pantone swatchbooks you own… you can never match the breathtaking colors of fall leaves on the trees, hot pink azaleas blooming, or the constantly changing blue of the sky. you can’t duplicate a miracle, no matter how genius of a designer you are.}

For more ideas for our current competition "Out and About" go to You The Designer and read all the comments ...there are some really great ones among them ..definitely inspirational!

I only came across SocialThing few days ago and got an invite to participate in their current beta. Whilst the site is in development is never the less a great way to combine your social sites and keep an eye on what your friends are upto.
The idea of SocialThing is basically one place for all the things that happen on your social sites. For example, at the moment i have added flickr, twitter and pownce to the list of sites and whenever something new happens i can see it in my feed on SocialThing.
Another great thing is that if you are an iPhone owner they have a really great webapp available which you can also use on your desktop if you wish to post simultaneously to pownce and twitter. I for example have a plug-in already loaded on facebook for twitter so whenever i tweet, my facebook status gets updated.

From their recent discussions at getsatisfaction it appears that more services will be added in the next few months. It would be great to see integration of sites like MySpace, LastFM and more business/collaboration tools such as those from 37Signals (Basecamp, Highrise, Backpack). We also hear there will be RSS feeds and lets hope for a full iPhone native app from the recent beta release of SDK.

All in all, a fantastic idea and site. Really well designed, simple and incredibly useful.

If you want to participate in the beta, leave a comment and we will send you invites. There aren't many left so you'll need to be quick.

You can read more about SocialThing on TechCrunch or to follow it's development see SocialThing blog.

As designers we tend to spend countless hours in front of the computer screen so in a previous article how important it is to get fresh air once in a while. Venturing outdoors is a great way to clear your mind and many artists find nature incredibly inspirational. This is why we wanted to start a discussion about why you love the outdoors! Do you skateboard, hike, jump put of planes, or just lay on the grass and look at the clouds? Whatever it is we want to know! read more and now to enter
