<p>I ordered some new business cards this week. I'm not 100% sure why — I still have well over half of the previous run. <a href="http://moo.com/">Moo Cards</a> used to be my favorite, as they're tiny and cute, but they have very specific design parameters. Both of the times I went through them I wasn't crazy with the way they turned out.</p>
<p>This time I went with <a href="http://uprinting.com">UPrinting.com</a>, which is where I got  my first batch of cards printed nearly a decade ago. They're cheap but have more options — like these double-sided squares:</p>

<p>It uses the new logo I sketched out for <a href="http://snaptortoise.com">SnapTortoise</a>, my web development company in Portland, Oregon. They're about half the size of a normal business card and the centered  logo works for me. I like to think it invites a little interaction if I were to leave a small stack of them somewhere, as you can't glean much info without picking one up and flipping it over.</p>
<p>I actually like these quite a bit!  Now I just need to start handing them to people.</p>
