Have you got "The Square?" If not, you are missing out on one of the biggest "game changers" of the 21st Century for personal and micro business finances.
For the complete skinny, the best place to find out about "The Square" is directly from the horse's mouth at www.squareup.com— the epicenter of the developer, provider, and promoter of "The Square."
Just One Problem...
The ONLY problem that I have found in using The Square is that it is so small and inconspicuous that it can easily become misplaced or lost. What do you do with something that is the size of a small postage stamp?— do you stick it in your pocket where it becomes filled with a bunch of that lint that collects down in the bottom (have you ever REALLY looked way down in there before?)— or do you throw it in your purse, where it disappears into that fathomless chaos at the bottom (somewhere between a crumpled up Kleenex and a half-empty bag of Skittles?)— or do you carefully stash it in the back of your glove compartment, where a Hershey's Dark Chocolate bar above it melts in the fervent heat and slowly drips down, running into your Square's card-acceptance slot?
Problem Solved...
I solved my problem by designing and fabricating a clean*secure*stylish "POKE" to house my Square card-swiper on my keyring!
A Fine-Art Solution...
Since I am mainly in the business of printing fine-art photographs (www.revealinglight.net), I thought— what the heck! I'll make these things from the archival canvas that I am already printing on, add a sturdy ring to attach it securely to my keyring, and finish it with a jazzy pearlized snap-closure to keep the thing closed. I so loved the result that I decided to share these creations with all of you discriminating Square users/addicts who could appreciate a finely-made product as well as securing your Square.
How Can I Get a POKE?
On this blog you will find out how to obtain such a POKE. I will soon be offering several styles, falling into two different series: there will be an "EXOTIC HARDWOODS" series, and a "MASTER ARTISTS" series. Keep watching this blog to found out how to order one online. If you live in the South-Central Texas or Hill-Country regions, you can obtain a Square POKE directly from me now! (Yes, I take all major credit cards!), but for those of you elsewhere, I should have online ordering up within about a week.
Thanks for reading about my creations, and let me know what you think!
