They had asked us several months back to play the role of an interviewee, we accepted, and completely forgot about it. Kevin approached me again, and we finally made it happen.

He sent over a list of great questions, I replied with my usual lengthy responses, and even recorded an audio version for all the lazy folk. (Click the mp3 if you want to listen, not the player, or else I sound a bit like Hulk).

Kevin and Juxtaviews have one of the nicest formats for interviews and go all out in presentation. I think it looks awesome, and I was honoured to be interviewed. As we’ve said before, we love thier site.

Alright, enough ass kissin’. Check it out, share your comments, and take a look at some of our submitted YGG logos that made the interview. We’d still love to have a ton more featured here, so print out your little YGG sign, snap a pic, and send it in.

(Thanks to Kevin for creating the base of that trippy image above)

Britney Spears’s new fragrance, Britney Spears Believe will be out on counters in October, but is available for Pre-order online. The brand for this new fragrance is a complete rip of mondonation‘s brand…

Somewhere there is a design team who should be fired.

Last year I stumbled across a very interesting company coming out of Vancouver, Canada. mondonation had a simple, clever and meaningful idea that allowed people to customize a personal mantra onto a t-shirt. A statement of something they believed in… Some were heartfelt messages “I believe everyday people can make a difference every day” and some that are just fun or silly “I believe the hokey pokey is what it’s all about.”

The kicker about mondonation is that it was set-up to support lots of international charities, by donating part of the profits from each shirt sale. I had a chance to speak to Ward Bingham the founder of the company last year about what they were doing and how my disaster relief agency, www.HODR.org could find support from what he was doing. We since have joined up as a partner charity and I’ve been a huge fan and supporter of the project ever since.

mondonation has reached thousands of people with their “I believe�? t-shirts. All you have to do is watch some of the YouTube videos to get an idea of how many people they’ve reached. This one video has been viewed almost 700,000 times.

So the iPhone hype has died down a bit. The early adopters got their hands on the first version, while the rest of the world somehow managed to continue with their lives. :) But why not cater to those few that may actually wait a minute and a half for your website to load on their iPhone?

Well, you can speed up that loading with an iPhone theme for your blog. Make that an iWPhone Plugin and Theme. ContentRobot has created such a package that automatically detects if a reader is using Safari on an iPhone, then serves up a custom theme formatted to replicate an iPhone application (clean and minimalistic).

All you have to do is activate the plugin and you’re done. It will automatically serve up the iPhone theme to iPhoners.

You can customize the theme like you would any other for WordPress. Add in your little logo to the header, remove post details, or whatever you wish. But the default installation shouldn’t take any more than a minute or two.

This is a handy plugin/theme combo, that the two or three people who have an iPhone and know you exist, will love. You can download it here.
