Yezbick.com: If It's Weird, Flip It Over and Check, It Might Be a Yezbick

Early last month, on the anniversary of John Lennon’s death, a small meme took a small portion of the Internet by storm. It began, in under 140 characters, in a twitter conversation amongst elite members of #teamnun – a team that was itself only formed two months ago. It would appear that much of the content generation was spawned by infobunny, a law librarian in the UK who also “maintains” a blog on twitter apps.

A large portion of the credit must also go to @manxstef, who in his attempts to get back in the infobunny’s good graces, posted the first known #bumsandgin pic. It was only a matter of time before an international phenomenon was born, and #bumsandgin photos began to emerge from all corners of the Interwebz. There were even publication posters produced requesting submissions, a video, and a number of retweets.

As the number of submissions began to increase – it occurred to me that a new year, the year currently upon us, was rapidly approaching. With the amount of time I was spending on #bumsandgin, it became clear to me that a time management tool celebrating this distraction was of utmost importance. I decided to create a #bumsandgin calendar.

Now, 2 days past the deadline, the calendar is finally done. I am freeing it to the Interwebz in it’s original PNG state, a zipped archive of the images weighing in at over 133MB. Quite the download. High Quality jpgs are also available for your perusal should you be hesitant in the decision to engage the bandwidth demons. All of these items have been made available for you on their own special page. Enjoy, <3 #teamnun.
