New Slashdot T-Shirts On Sale Now
ThinkGeek has opened up their Slashdot Store, which among other fineries, is selling the all new Slashdot T-Shirts. We also have a surprise: In addition to the 3 winners we announced previously, by popular request, we added a 4th winner to the roster: Dan Sandler's 'Soothing Green Light' design. So go, buy all 4! And a hat! Do it! Also, Scott Lewallen made Icons & Wallpapers based on his Volatile Hyper Linkage design.
But couldn't they have selected a shirt with a non-pretentious slogan? All of these are a little too much like "Can't live without Dasani". I mean "mainline geek culture" and "volatile hyperlinkage"?
What's wrong with a plain white T-shirt with the slashdot logo and "News for Nerds, stuff that matters" on the back?
Okay Rob, we can't have /. meta stories about broken moderation, bitch slapping, and abusive editors, but we can have meta stories about selling t-shirts?
It's called "running your website the way you want to." Don't like it? Get your own website, get 3/4 million members, then do whatever the hell you want.
A little self-promotion like this doesn't hurt, but I sure as hell don't want to see a half-dozen stories a day about people whining about unfair moderations to their posts.
