What you see here is the “Geek Hand Sign” T-shirt by British designer Roger Denyer. Roger designed the shirt so you could demand some respect from your fellow geeks. If you are a web developer or coder use this sign and you’ll get a nod of respect from your fellow computer geeks.

Or maybe you will once and for all prove the world how incredibly geeky you really are.

Either way, the shirts are for sale at RubyRed T-shirt Design for €21,46 (that isn’t a random price of course but a number that only real geeks understand the meaning of) in a variety of colors.

If you are a REAL geek you will have to ask your sister which color will look good with your zits and pimples.

This could be the ultimate in camouflage for geeks – an ‘erased torso’ t-shirt – available to buy.

Personally, I just can’t see why it’s so appealing. (That was a gag, but you might have missed it.) Can’t see. Missed it. Geddit? I’ve seen enough invisible gags, thanks. – Ed.

The iPhone shirt: world’s most locked-in device explodes

While I was standing in line for one of the first iPhone 3G’s in Holland last July, this tweet by Amazon CTO Werner Vogels made me chuckle:

Strange how people who fanatically promote openness are lined up outside a shop that delivers some of this era’s most closed/lockedin tools

He was absolutely right. The iPhone IS locked-in and many examples of rejected iPhone apps show what the consequences are. If you develop an app that comes close to Apple’s core products, you don’t stand a chance. Just ask Dutch iPhone app developer Vincent Verweij about his experiences with the Apple Store.

Yet almost every 2.0 geek seems to have one, even mr. Vogels himself. Thus the best thing we can do is accept it and laugh about it. Here’s a suggestion how to do so: wear a t-shirt of an exploded iPhone. The most locked-in device, now revealed on your t-shirt. Quite a funny example of fashion sarcasm.

See all the t-shirts here.

New ideas from the online t-shirt scene

On the Internet you can find many people who are totally passionate about certain things. This time we will have a look on t-shirts, they are great Internet products, because you can show the whole print online, they are cheap, everyone needs a few new ones each year and has a pretty good idea of what to expect from a t-shirt, and in contrast with music or films it is impossible to download them. A year ago I got the idea that it would be cool if there was a blog that would keep me updated about the latest t-shirts. Of course after some searching I found out that there where at least 65 of those blogs out there. Nevertheless I thought I could add something extra, so I started with Shirtlog and it hasn’t disappointed me yet.

Besides shops and blogs there are also sites who do something more experimental and innovative on bringing the best t-shirts to the mass. I had an e-mail interview with two interesting sites that mix old and new ideas about blogging, community voting, and user generated content. (more…)
