Online cult of t-shirt personality
Sometimes you just need to look a bit outside the mainstream to find the t-shirt that captures your personality in print. Wal-mart and Target have t-shirts, but not like the ones we found at these online-only stores. This Balky t-shirt, which has a one-color screen of the infamously annoying character from the 80's sitcom Perfect Strangers, is available exclusively from retroduck.com, a web outlet that specializes in "out-there" t-shirt designs. Some of our other favorites at retroduck include a Baker's Dozen cupcake design ripped straight from the popular SNL Digital Short that helped to popularize iTunes TV downloads a few years ago, and a one-color drawing of the Flux Capacitor from Back to the Future.
The trend of slightly off-center t-shirt fashion has taken hold in the nerd community of late, and probably stemmed from the open-source-propaganda web site thinkgeek.com, which offers t-shirts with tasty sayings like "Got Root?" and "All your base are belong to us."
Another online t-shirt shop we love is dirtyshirty.com, which offers some inventive screen transfers, everything from old-school Chevy automobile prints to silly pictures of Donald Duck. There's something here for everybody. And the best part is, you probably won't see other people macking your t-shirt design because these sources are mainly independent, online vendors. That is, you can't buy this stuff at Sears. (Sears doesn't accept PayPal, either.)
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I also like Jinx for geeky/nerdy apparel.
