Shel, coauthor of Naked Conversations, wrote with a suggestion to Clip-n-Seal worrisome words and toss them somewhere in the Puget Sound, where an Orca can pick them up and tell them to a seal that’ll give them to an octupus who’ll take them down to the bottom into the wreck of an old logging ship.

That maybe the best-ever suggested use for Clip-n-Seal: to seal up your thoughts for another day in a worry seal. Until then, you can always use Clip-n-Seals in a dental laboratory, while traveling, or in the outdoors, on a camping trip.

Publish & Prosper: Blogging for Your Business goes on sale this week (25th). Offering practical advice, the book shows how businesses can leverage current, real-world blogging techniques, tools, and platforms to promote and enhance their ventures. The book includes the Clip-n-Seal story, how Boeing built the blogs, and more.

In this week’s issue of BusinessWeek, Boeing’s Blogs are featured and I’m quoted. Textura Design, Clip-n-Seal’s parent company built those blogs, along with this one. BusinessWeek also launched a new Web Smart podcast and discusses how Boeing uses blogs to have a, “dialogue with the public, customers, and employees.”

Matt and Scott (and me) are flattered to be included in Design Melt Down’s post on “ideal or ultimate design.” I don’t think they set out to design the ultimate, but clean yes, definitely. Check all the sites listed on the post to see some great design.

We’ve got Clip-n-Seals on everything around the house and the most popular use is for cereal bags. We use a medium-sized Clip-n-Seal — it seals the bag airtight and sits nicely on top of box. Our other favorite use is on Costco-sized frozen food, which I can never reseal with the built-in zipper lock-type seal. I either rip it when opening the bag or it never seals again, once open. And one time I had to sweep an entire roomful of peas up from the kitchen floor when I lifted the bag out of the freezer drawer and it opened.

We use large Clip-n-Seals for freezer bags and keep the food frozen, fresh, and secure.

While we sell lots of Clip-n-Seals, in all our sizes, the most popular is our Variety 3-Pack. This week we’ve shipped them all over the USA and even to Finland! We see the same trend on Amazon.com.
