The man, the myth, the legend.

We had the pleasure of meeting the classy and inimitable Mr. Christian Baker – who is the mastermind behind Tastefully Offensive — when we were out in Portland a few months back running ROFLCon Summit.

As we learned later over lunch, in the true spirit of ROFLCon, Christian is basically a scrappy upstart – a one man army operation devoted to single-handedly digesting the web and distilling it into a fresh, single-malt data stream of the amusingist things the internets has to offer.

In any case, we’re thrilled to announce today that Christian will be breaking the mold and jumping on board as the first non-veteran sponsor of ROFLCon III! Welcome aboard!

As we’re finding this round around, old friends are sometimes the best friends, and the good people of the e-mail newsletter list management juggernaut Mailchimp are no exception. They were sponsors for ROFLCon II a few years back, and we’re thrilled to announce that we’re teaming up again for getting ROFLCon III together.

Additionally, we’re proud to let word out that MailChimp has come in rare company at our highest DEFENDER OF THE INTERNET REALM level. In addition to all sorts of shady favors in tropical isles and black helicopter rides, this means that we’re partnering up with their absolutely amazing team to develop out the design of the swag package this year. This has usually been a pretty involved thing in the past.

You’ll see more of this as it comes together, but suffice it to say that what’s being planned is amazing (if you haven’t seen the sorts of things they get up to and support outside the e-mail list biz, please see and this).

So to Mark, Ben, and the entire Mailchimp team, you rock. Welcome aboard!
