Taking over the the world, one T-shirt & blog posting at a time.

This T-shirt Can “Sing”, If You Need a Soundtrack for Your Life

T-shirt and music player, those two are complements each other, but absolutely not for substituting. Yet, crazy idea may come from everywhere, especially from creative minds of The Big Bang Theory creator. Meet the Personal Soundtrack T-Shirt. Initially appeared in The Bing Bang Theory Season 3 Ep. 16, entitled The Excelsior, Folks at ThinkGeek really want this mix-crazy-and-cool thing to be wore by any geek in the world.

The “magic” lies at speaker and wired remote implanted into this shirt. With this thing, people who wear this tees are able to play their own music playlist, even without bringing a dedicated music player. What’s the use of portable music player if you have already had it inside your shirt? Completing its coolness, it has own SD memory to store various mp3 songs of your choices.

What about the energy to run the player? Don’t worry, you don’t carry a boom with you. It is powered by 4 AAAA batteries that are easily found in market near your place. With all this stuffs loaded into this shirt, don’t you think US$29,99 ($39.99) price tag is too cheap?

Curiouser or Red Queen? Licensed T-shirt of Alice in Wonderland You can Pick

Not only a real Gothic girl that be able to make clothes for Alice in Wonderland theme. Hot Topic is in competitor line by bringing the entire army with its licensed gears, not only about clothes, but also tons of other things. Four pages of Alice in Wonderland goodies, surely at least one or two clothes will attract your taste. Again, I am sorry, these collections are only for women.

Here are some tee design that I love most. First one is called Curiouser tee ($22). This design really depicts the other side of Johnny Depp’s Mad HatterCheshire cat. Well, from the movie trailers, you can guest that this character is actually quite mysterious and charmingly curious. On other hand, he is fond of pranks and tricks, especially with its ability to disappear and reappear.

shirt women Disney Alice In Wonderland The Red Queen fashion V-Neck Tee

The other one is this queen, Red Queen tee ($22). I like the combination of V-neck, bleached red background, and arrogant pose of the queen herself. Truly reveals the glory of magical kingdom in the story. This V-neck tee is made from 65% of polyester and 35% cottons. Bear in mind that Hot Topic is currently holding lower shipping charge promotion for certain period in time.

*Good thing, they accept international shipping too.

Lorem Ipsum Mesh: Typographic in Sassy, Faux-mesh Green Ink

While working as typographer is not quite appreciated as doctor or lawyers, you know the requirement of becoming the true font artist. It took years of observing the pattern and the beauty of each sketch and stroke of line drawings to master such knowledge.

Typography has already existed for centuries. The kind of Roman or Serif fonts has been known since the original time of alphabet. With enormous leaps on this modern technology era, creating new font may lies to the creativity of the designer. Constructing it only need one click away. Computer can finish what has been started.

art typography product_main_garment_woven_ tee shirt clothing apparel grey This shirt may emphasize the beauty of a font itself. Veer’s Lorem Ipsum Mesh Tee ($22) has spawned a second installment inspired by kick-ass mash-up of retro font type: Hounslow. The designer-friendly T-shirt leverage on its focal point that heralds that essential bit of mockup text in sassy, faux-mesh green ink. Printed on 100% figure-flattering asphalt cotton. Features a Veer logo behind the neck.

But if this shirt is not your type (what a shame!), you might love to check the other veer’s tee shirts.

Zombie Anatomy T-shirt, for Beginners and Collectors

Zombie, dead man walking, monster. Anything you called it, bear in mind that zombie is fantasized to be constructed from human body, torn apart because of biological disease. Thus, some parts of their bodies still resemble human’s in particular.

redbubble tee shirt apparel clothing men women monster exploded-zombie

This design is part of our curiosity to know what things that arrange zombie body. The experiment can be started by capturing a living zombie then cut it off or explode it into pieces, like what been performed on surgeon table. While it has brain, knees, spleen, and arms like ours, the forms are more or less depreciated because most of them are not operated optimally. Ups, maybe none are functioning except arms and legs. As bonuses, you may find worms and rats inside the corpse.

Already know the detail, wear it to feel proud of disengaging one of the ugliest creature ever envisioned. Only US$23.94 from redbubble and it will yours. Don’t forget, you can opt to print the design in the front of the back side.

How many Gaming Objects can be Found on this Shirt?

Well, this guy is absolutely passionate about his design. Created by Sean Mort a.k.a stothemofob, The Gaming Revolution t-shirt is dazzling with tons of gaming object designs. Well not only joysticks, there are handheld game devices too. This design, according the creator, resembles the revolution from NES era to current PS3/Wii/XBOX360 era.

If the first game handheld (and its joystick) was released in 1980, this shirt may mark the 20 years of game present. If we do analogy with human’s life, 20 years old is a transition phase from teenage to adulthood, from 8-bit era to past 128-bit era, from ROM cartridge to Blu-ray disc.

Don’t ask me why the design is made with yellow color on top of red background like a China flag, but it definitely requires patient and hard work to arrange such thing. It will be yours for US$18 from Threadless and available for both guys and girls. So, can you count how many distinct objects captured in the design?

David Bushell Got Something for You, if You Miss London

Have you ever been to London? I haven’t, but I have seen lot of London landmarks in movies, television, and Internet.

Even on Your Shirt, Robot Could be Romantic too

Have you ever watched I, Robot? In this movie, robots are described as very loyal and never disobeyed their owners. In bottom line, they have no sense at all, rather than what their owners have ordered them too. When one robot is considered rebelled and buggy, as the creator is implanted senses to his creation, it feels so odd in human environment.

Imagine in future, there’s actually kind of robot that can think and act based on their own way of thought, Bicentennial Man may really come true. A robot will be more like human, in any kind of way. Moreover, they may want to be a human. A vivid dream that can be logical, although could be a creepy image if we think about it again and again.

When such thing does exist, the kind of image pictured in this t-shirt may resemble one thing. Robot can fall in love, express their feelings, and even be romantic too. Just like human, robot may want to share the love with their significant other. Sweet and scary, in the same time.

This tee, entitled Robot Romance, is 100% cotton, Double-needle bottom hem and sleeves, and Preshrunk to minimize shrinkage. Available with navy background, it can be yours for US$24.99. There’s also free shipping option if you shop for more than US$149 in Ex-Boyfriend. You can buy for kids/toddler sizes too.

Love Poem, the Geek Version. Now Printed on a Tee

Roses are red, violets are blue
Bla bla and it’s involving you

Well, the poem above is the standard framework of two lines love expression. I don’t have idea why it is always about roses, red, violets, and blue, but it rhymes with the end of the poem, you. Of course, it’s made for you, the love one, the adore one, the one that should be praised, the lovely spouse/partner.

Enough of this thing, let’s take a look on how geek turn that expression into something more.. interesting. You know that colors in HTML code can be represented with digits of hex code. This time, they are turning the phrase by converting red into #FF0000 and blue into #0000FF. Can’t help it, it’s too geek to handle!

The t-shirt of course is listed in ThinkGeek of which also available in babydoll girl version! It’s 100% cotton with black background color with basic font in white. Regularly, the price is US$15.99 with additional few bucks for babydoll shape. This is how geek shows his deepest feeling in this Valentine’s situation!

I’m with Coco (and Proudly Wear the Shirt). Whose Side are You?

Anybody in the US must have followed — or at least heard – the feud between two top hosts, Conan O’Brien and Jay Leno regarding time slot of their show. While some people try to be neutral, there must be some others who take a side, either to Conan or to Jay. It is believed that Conan’s supporters in Facebook have reached hundreds of thousands people. These people may turn their support in term of creativity, including making t-shirt for one party, like what Mike Mitchell does.

He’s in Conan’s side and he’s proud of it. So he creates a shirt — entitled I’m With Coco – for all Conan fans to declare the inspiration. The nickname Coco is famous among Internet fans and indeed more catchy than Conan O’Brien. Pictured in front of the Stars and Stripes flag and obviously highlights his famous pompadour hairstyle. The picture is using water-based ink, so it’s really soft and comfortable.

World’s hand on this matter definitely will a relief to their pain.

Milred’s Tee Shirt Says: Cheese for Group Animal Shot!

I don’t recognize most of “animals” pictured in this group shot, I reckon most of them resemble “cats” (or the likes), an animal looks like “sheep”, but I can’t tell which one in specific. A group shot of animal kingdom is really we see nowadays and this t-shirt makes it happen. And it happens to when you see shirt called Group Shot, designed by the man nicknamed mildred ~ have I mentioned that you can see his iconic signature in the back side?

ZAZZLE tee shirt Mildred group shot shirt funny cartoon illustration apparel designer

While I am sort of animal lover myself, this design is actually quite creepy. I bet not all cute-loving-girls want to wear it. Despite that fact, I think this design will look cooler on men. In addition, you can punk’d your friend(s), asking them to count how many “animals” snapped in this design. At least 25 creatures where shot, I re-count. 25 faces in one design, cool huh?

Available at US$17.95 from Zazzle, the t-shirt is available for guys and girls with brown background only. Perhaps they want to add more background color, that will be better. Grab them while still hot and the “animals” are willing to be in the picture!

What I’ve Learned from Zombieland. Rule #1: Cardio!

Have you watched Zombieland? This B-movie has achieved lot of compliments from movie critics and even won the “Golden Tomato” for the highest user-rated film of 2009 from Rotten Tomatoes. What’s the fuzz about the movie? Combining zombie and comedy genre definitely not a easy task and Zombieland did it! Four lead casts are able to entertain audiences to laugh against the horror of zombie terror.

zombies zombie tee shirt apparel clothing men women funny snorgtees movie

Zombieland itself tells around a boy, just name him Columbus, in a way of avoiding bunch of zombies that want to eat him. He sets rules that need to be obeyed in order to stay alive from any zombie attack. There are 32 rules among them, while top of the rule — rule #1 — is cardio. If you are healthy and fit enough to run, zombie won’t able to catch you because zombie cannot run fast, or as depicted in this tee shirt design, Zombies Hate Fast Food ($18.95).

Pictured as runner — remember the runner uniform in Juno? — runs in front of bunch of zombie, this shirt may mock the inability of zombie to run fast. Thus the effective way to avoid them is running as fast as you can. The shirt only available in blue background from Snorg Tees — also available in girls’ size!.

Someday, We Can Search for a Dead Body on Google Maps

I bet most of you (if not all) use Google Maps to search for location. One new feature that helps us a lot is the marking legend to mark anything that interest us. Building, park, convention hall, you name it. It helps us searching for nearest pizza store easily and conveniently. What if, in the future it can mark a people too?

Tired of solving Rubik’s Cube? Melt it!
