When I started my company ISOPEDA nearly three years ago, I was flat broke. Which may have had something to do with the fact that I had spent the preceding seven months getting wasted in such colorful Australian pubs such as the MeatWoolshed. Any and all sober time left was used pursuing fun but useless hobbies such as obtaining a few diving licenses, camping in the Nullarbor, swimming with sharks (well, it swam away real quickly, to be honest) and sea lions, as well as flying a plane to an altitude of 2,000 feet without any qualifications or assistance (but with a really laidback instructor sitting next to me).
Anyway, Joost Mattheij, a former colleague at Elsevier News Weekly knocked up the business cards at the top of the image. I was and am very happy with them, especially since they hardly cost me anything.
But I figured it was time for something a bit more stylish. So Kay Coenen had a go at the spider (the Isopeda montana or Huntsman spider is what ISOPEDA derives its name from) and the result is at the bottom of said image. Today I went to the printer to pick up the result.
I am very happy and promise not to harm any spiders for the rest of my life, or the end of the month, whichever comes first. Which is hopefully the latter, although some spiders might disagree.
