Blog note: I've added a t-shirt category since that's all I blog about anymore. At some point, I'll go back and add the older shirt-related entries to it. -ben

Our journey begins at shirt.woot, with the latest derby contenders. The shirt at the right, zombie garden, caught my eye.

In the comments, someone asked if the artist, Skaght, was the same Skaght from Psycho Reindeer. Turns out that it is. So, I checked out Psycho Reindeer and found my (latest) favorite t-shirt.

Behold, PAC-BONES!



I want this shirt more than I've wanted anything before...ever.

Update 2008/03/28 11:42: Zombie Garden won the derby and then sold out of all 1500 shirts by 7:30 this morning.

Here's a couple videos I thought I'd pass on.

As a recent fan of Guitar Hero on the Wii, this first one made me laugh:

This other video shows the 'Big Dog' quadruped robot. The parts where they kick it to try to make it fall, when it slips on ice and when it jumps like a goat are simply amazing.

Here's some stuff I've been meaning to blog and some stuff that I've just found today:

Three from WebUrbanist:

10 Amazing Tree Houses from Around the World: Sustainable, Unique and Creative Designs
The title really says it all; several of them are pretty amazing.

Surprise: World’s Tallest Structure Isn’t a Skyscraper
Spoiler: it's an oil rig.

5 Incredible Works of Insane Architectural Genius: Wooden Skyscrapers to Recycled Wonderlands
Again, some pretty amazing stuff.

This next one was on Digg, but someone posted a comment that the linked entry was basically just stolen from Wikipedia:

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
The preceding is a gramatically correct sentence, meaning "[Those] buffalo(es) from Buffalo [that are intimidated by] buffalo(es) from Buffalo intimidate buffalo(es) from Buffalo." That's the short of it; for the long of it, check the wikipedia link.

And lastly, another excellent post from indexed:

The Vatican announces 7 NEW flavors of sin!
...including not recycling petri dishes and non-union moat diggers. Possibly the best indexed ever.

Just stumbled upon nature photographer Nick Brandt's website. There's some pretty incredible stuff there. Definitely worth checking out (even if it is an annoying flash site...)
