Ever look enviously at your friends who all have Wedges? Where do they get them from? Where can you get them from? No more! Now, you can adopt your very own wedge through the We Are Wedges Adoption Center!

As if this isn't amazing enough, Squido, Sluggo, and Octo, the Sea Wedges, are available online for the first time. Fill you aquarium today! (Note, Sea Wedges do not enjoy being submerged in water. But we can pretend!)

Remember, you can make all the difference in the life of a Wedge in need. Help end Wedgelessness - One Wedge at a time.

ps. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Countdown to Fan Expo 2008 - DAY 6


With just 6 days to FanExpo 2008, it's time to start rolling out some new Wedges! Over the next several days you'll get to know the new members of the Wedge family, Squido, Sluggo, and Octo!

Squido is librarian at the bottom of the Wedge sea. She spends her days sorting her books and lobbying for much needed public funding for expansion of the oceanic wedge libraries. She is very efficient and is an effective public speaker.

Squido made us promise to give you a refresher course on the Dewey decimal system, so here goes. Melvil Dewey invented the Dewey system in 1876 (pff, not even as old as Canada). It's comprised of 10 main categories, which are further subdivided to narrow down your search for books on a specific topic. The top-level categories are:
  • 000 – Computer Science, information, and general works
  • 100 – Philosophy and psychology
  • 200 – Religion
  • 300 – Social Sciences
  • 400 – Languages
  • 500 – Science and Mathematics
  • 600 – Technology and Applied science
  • 700 – Arts and recreation
  • 800 – Literature
  • 900 – History, geography, and biography
Personally, our library is 99.4% science fiction fantasy, so we're a bit heavy on section 813. And hey, if Dewey isn't your thing, Squido understands. Maybe you're more for the Library of Congress classification system, or maybe Universal Decimal Classification system? The fun never ends!

Les Fruits De La Mer!

This morning when you woke up and immediately refreshed wearewedges.com, you may have noticed something new.

SEA WEDGES!

Octo is an octopus!
Squido is a squid!
Sluggo is a sea snail!

Which is your favourite? Did you know that Squido has 2 more tentacles than Octo, so a bit of an edge there. But Octo works works in a stop sign factory, which is pretty random/awesome. And Sluggo is named Sluggo! It's so hard to choose!

Sea Wedges aren't in the online shop yet, but will be varrrrry soon. However, they are for sale at our summer shows and events starting right...now! Speaking of summer events, watch for more SUPER EXCITING news soon about upcoming events. Seriously, SUPER EXCITING.)

ps. Did you know Brent Spiner is going to be at FanExpo Toronto this year?

pps. Brent freaking Spiner!
