This shirt sounds like equation, but not!

rangga — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:42:40 +0000

Maybe not all of you understand the beauty of Math. Some of you may skip it to choose other subject because Math sounds like a nightmare with horrible numbers, symbols, and equation. Ok, let’s take a look at this so-called equation to prove it that the Math is nightmare theorem is completely wrong.

First we have function equation, with Euler number and square root combined. After few lines, we found limits, differential, and integral, combined into one sentence. At the end of the road, voila, the equation is no longer an extinct phrase! I don’t really care whether each line is really true mathematically, but the idea of making this final remark proves you that even math sentence can be wonderful (and fun) too!

Ok, do you still unable to read the final sentence perfectly? Let me pronounce it one by one for you. It can be read as “s e x = f u n”! Simple, huh? Maybe someday, somebody will prove this thing is scientifically right, and turn it into a postulate or even law!

The shirt itself, brought by Zazzle, is simple, black over solid background theme, you choose different background color (not just white) with some extra bucks. The material is 100% cotton, double-needle stitched bottom and sleeve hems. Loose, classic fit, wears well on anyone.

Worlds First Augmented Reality T-Shirt

karl — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 10:01:09 +0000

This wonderfully innovative T-Shirt from T-Post includes an interactive game of Rock, Paper, Scissors in what has got to be one of the most fun demonstrations of augmented reality ever.

T-Post itself is worth mentioning as they describe themselves as the first wearable magazine, which I guess is another way of saying it’s a t-shirts subscription service. You pay your subscription fee and get a t-shirt in the mail every 6 weeks. T-Post does have it’s own style and you can look through back issues to get an idea of what kind of stuff they do. Here’s their video explaining the process.

If you’re a T-Shirt company it may be worth setting up a subscription based line of shirts because it really suits the economics of T-Shirt printing, in other words you only print as many t-shirts as you have subscribers, no unsold stock Threadless does a line called the 12 club (one T-shirt a month) as does the company Social-T’s, both worth checking out.

Star Wars & Boba Fett Hoodies 2.0 FTW!

karl — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 03:04:08 +0000

Holy Shit! WANT!

I wrote about round 1 of the Star Wars hoodies last year in September and now a year later Marc Ecko has taken them up a notch. Last time only the Stormtrooper hoodie could be zipped up to turn into a mask, and now there’s Darth Vader and my favorite, Boba Fett (oh let me count the ways I love the Boba Fett hoodie as I have last years model). The Boba Fett version I like the best because it actually looks like a sort of cool hoodie anyway with the hood down, but when you put it up people immediately recognize it if they have the star wars gene

You can buy them from Hoodiepeople where I found them.

I’ll post a picture later of the original Boba Fett one I got, it ran very big last year and the large swamped me so if your borderline you might start with a medium.

Oh and bonus material, Steam Punk Boba Fett via OutlandArmor.com
