Some Down Time

Hey gang, you may notice that the site is offline. We’ll be back in a few weeks with a few changes I’m pretty excited about. See you then…

Pricing Changes

Effective at midnight tonight we’re killing the free shipping thing and dropping shirt prices to $19. Another change is we’re probably going to let this one run for a while.

There are a few BIG changes about to happen around here and we’re concentrating on getting those ready for you guys. I don’t want to spoil too much, but pretty soon you’ll be able to buy shirts out of the archives. So if you missed a design in the past, you’ll be able to still get one. At least up until we’ve sold 100 of any design; that won’t change. Each shirt will still be sold in limited editions of 100.

Shirt Notice: Born Yellow

Born Yellow by 200 Nipples

You can’t control where you came from. The cards we’re dealt are far beyond our control, most of the time all we can do is play them. Just a little something to keep in mind the next time you feel like hating on someone just because of the name printed on their construction paper wrapper or the color of their wax. Food for thought, indeed…

Also, I love interrobangs, because I’m sort of a typography geek. That is all.

Born Yellow Girlie Tee by 200 Nipples

As always…

Our shirts are printed on high quality ring spun soft cotton blanks, have “tagless” printed tags for comfort, are packed with a certificate of authenticity, and made with love.

Shirt Notice: Human Hangover

Human Hangover - Limited Edition Tee by 200 NIpples

Ah, another shirt with a message to piss off the whiners. Anyway, I think the design itself is pretty cool this time around, along with a somewhat timely message. (What with untold amounts of sweet black crude spilling into the Gulf of Mexico as I type this.)

Human Hangover - Limited Edition Girlie Tee

The shirt will be printed on a super-soft high quality ring spun cotton blank, it has a “tagless” tag for comfort, is packed with a certificate of authenticity, and is made with love. Enjoy.

Human Hangover Design Detail

No new shirt this week.

Hey gang, we’re going to let the current shirt run for another week. (Those of you paying attention to the new shirt countdown probably already know this.) I’ve been spending my time on some new features for the site, so we’re in somewhat of a holding pattern at them moment. We’ll get a new one up next Monday, I promise.

Shirt Notice: Don't Make Me A Target

Zebra Shirt by 200 Nipples

Zebra’s are the only animals in nature I know of that use Dazzle Camouflage. As opposed to what most people think of when they hear “camouflage”, dazzle camouflage doesn’t obscure a target, but breaks up its shape and confusing the visual perception of would-be observers.

Is it large or small; is it coming or going? Is that an butt or a snout? Should we just go eat gazelle instead of trying to wrap our heads around this weirdness? (Said the lioness.)

This all makes the Zebra unquestionably badass in my designer’s mind. So I’d like one across my chest. Since I tend to print stuff I want to own, you can get one across your chest, too starting May 10th.

Shirt Notice: Rocket Science

Rocket Science - Limited Edition Classic T-shirt by 200 Nipples

In his new television series, Stephen Hawking says we should try to avoid contact with intelligent alien life.

I think he saw Avatar.

The final frontier is opening up to us painfully slowly and maybe that’s not such a bad thing? Probably the smartest guy on the planet thinks so, do you? I for one want Virgin Galactic tickets to come down so I can get my shot at zero-g. As with most things, our exploration of space is a maze of options and possibilities to be navigated. Will it lead to Battlefield Earth? I don’t know, but I certainly hope it has a better script. Hell, I just hope it has better hair.

Puma's Brand New Shoe Box/Bag

This is extremely cool. It almost makes me want to buy a pair of Pumas. I certainly will once this becomes commercially available.
PUMA's new shoe box.

After spending 21 months studying box fabrication and shipping, Fuseproject realized that any improvement to that already lean system would merely be incremental. So instead, the “clever little bag” combines the two packaging components of any shoe sale–the bag and the box–with high-tech ingenuity.

The bag tightly wraps an interior cardboard scaffolding–giving it shape and reducing cardboard use by 65%. Moreover, without that shiny box exterior, there’s no laminated cardboard (which interferes with recycling). There’s no tissue paper inside. And there’s no throw-away plastic bag. The bag itself is made of recycled PET, and it’s non-woven–woven fibers increase density and materials use–and stitched with heat, so that it’s less manufacturing intensive.

The impact: Puma estimates that the bag will slash water, energy, and fuel consumption during manufacturing alone by 60%–in one year, that comes to a savings of 8,500 tons of paper, 20 million mega joules of electricity, 264,000 gallons of fuel, and 264 gallons of water. Ditching the plastic bags will save 275 tons of plastic, and the lighter shipping weight will save another 132,000 gallons of diesel.

EARLY Jim Henson commercials selling coffee are genius...

If only commercials were this good today. I love these two.

I just want to say to everyone like me who chose slightly more complicated paths, the roads less traveled, the ones with lots of roadblocks and long stretches of anguish, I just want to say that the most important thing is to always be moving toward your desire.

Words to live by…
