Twitter, duh

It occurred to me this week that Twitter would be the most obviously awesome way to update my status across the country. I created my own Twitter account, but I think I’ll be creating a new account just for this trip so I can put the name on the side of my car with the magnetic material.

Magnetic Material Test

I went over to my parents house this weekend and had my mom test out some of her markers on a test piece of my magnetic material. I’m stuck it on top of my car and I’ll leave it up there for a few weeks and see if any particular type of marker fades faster or comes off with the rain. It’s already looking like the obvious choice of the fat Magnum44 marker is going to be the best.

Here’s the mag strip on my old car.

Giant Magnetic Roll

I am now the proud owner of a giant roll of sheet magnet material. 48 square feet to be exact. I’m going to use this material to put my own signage on the travel vehicle as well as sponsor signage.  Right now I am planning to cut it up into 2×1 foot sections for each sponsor and probably have a strip on the rear and side of the car with this website’s address.

Now, I just need to find some artistic talent…
