Slashdot T-Shirt Contest Winners!

We had 331 entries in the Slashdot T-Shirt Design Contest, and at long last, I'm pleased to announce that our winners are Scott Lewallen, Chris Hoover, and Jude Hansen. There were tons of great entries... and we've made the 3 winning designs, as well as 9 of my favorites available for your perusal. Congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone who entered the contest! The shirts themselves will be made available at ThinkGeek in the next few weeks.

My favorite designs

[pq]

My personal favorite is the Topoleski design, "If you can read this, you belong here." And I really like the Morse code (Russ Clarke) design too. Don't really get any of the cheesy cartoon ones... but to each his own, I guess.

Congratulations to the winners.

Say what?

I don't get it -- the "mainline geek culture" picture is a syringe attached to what? (Oh, it's an Ethernet cable, right? OK, I do get it. Still, it's a bit excessively stylized.)

I'd have gone with the "soothing green light" shirt as #1 and "Get back to work!" as #2, but that's me.

Mainline Geek Culture - via what network media?

My favorite is Chris Hoover's "Syringe becomes Modular plug".

But, being a geek, I have an annoying nitpick. The modular plug is for a three-pair cable (RJ-14). Why do a modem cable when broadband is so popular. Most ethernet connections are four-pair (RJ-45).

If you wanted to be retro geeky, use the BNC connector for 10Base-2 (ThinNet).

I'm not trolling but...

This SERIOUSLY isn't a troll post. But one thing that irritates me about this is how little compensation the designers are getting for their work versus how much Thinkgeek will make and how much Slashdot will make on commissions (or maybe its the other way around). What I'd really like to see is how much revenue/profit they've made from these shirts. C'mon guys, you got our designs for dirt cheap, the least you can do is let us know how much more you're getting for this than we are.
