			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I first saw a write-up about <a href="http://www.valleyschwag.com">ValleySchwag</a>, I knew I needed (well, wanted) it. I mean, Web 2.0 stuff mailed to me every month for a measly sum! One thing you don&#8217;t get here in the middle of military contractor land is much of anything new and groundbreaking.</p>
<p>The schwag arrives wrapped in burlap &#8211; but only for this month. The crew claims that cutting and painting the burlap with the ever increasing subscriber base is turning into quite a pain. They&#8217;re promising something just as exciting for the future, but how can you beat burlap? I mean &#8211; look at it!</p>

<p>Unwrapping the package reveals a bundle of goodies from some companies I&#8217;m familiar with and some new faces. To start with, there&#8217;s a shirt from <a href="http://rubyredlabs.com/">Rubyred Labs</a>, the guys who are behind the whole ValleySchwag thing:</p>

<p>Followed by stickers from <a href="http://www.riya.com">Riya</a>, <a href="http://www.feedburner.com">Feedburner</a>, <a href="http://www.technorati.com">Technorati</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/iamthechad/158995543/"><img alt="Riya" src="http://static.flickr.com/63/158995543_b616113f7a_m.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/iamthechad/158995672/"><img alt="FeedBurner" src="http://static.flickr.com/46/158995672_bee218453e_m.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/iamthechad/158995791/"><img alt="Technorati" src="http://static.flickr.com/49/158995791_c240c64ec8_m.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Plus a temporary tattoo from <a href="http://www.abazab.com">Abazab</a>:</p>

<p>Some goatse stickers that I had great fun in explaining to the wife:</p>

<p>And last but not least, some <a href="http://www.perplexcity.com">Perplex City</a> cards.</p>
<p>All in all, not bad for $14.95. Not only did I get some cool stuff, but I learned about <a href="http://www.abazab.com">Abazab</a>, which may just replace <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/user:iamthechad">Vimeo</a> for sharing movies of the <a href="http://zayne.megatome.com">Little Man</a>. Now it looks like I just need to step up my efforts to get a <a href="http://www.apple.com/macbook/macbook.html">MacBook</a> so I have somewhere to put the stickers!</p>
