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.

Bravo!

While the winners are indeed well done, the PHB entry is truly inspired. Any chance some of the Honorable Mentions might become available?

I prefer some ot the runner ups

[C_nemo]

Any chance there could be high resolution tiff/ps/pdf of the runner up entries posted somewhere? I realy like the 'bathing geeks in soothing green light' thing. Want to send it to a A3 color printer, or A1 color plotter...

All of the entrys

[Dante]

I would of loved to have seen all of the hundreds of entrys, why not post them all?

Big-endian/Little-endian

If you can read this, you belong here.

Very funny. Does .ORG really have to be capitalized? It's like yelling. :) And does this mean that Slashdor favors a particular endian [webopedia.com]?

Re:Show of hands...

[Hakubi_Washu]

OK, I did :-)
I suspected it might but stumbled when the first and the fourth character didn't match. Then capitalization clicked in... Why the heck would anyone capitalize a url?

For those who didn't get it (I know it's improbable, but I want to show off, ok? :-)

Those 16bit "lines" are split into 2 8bit "words", then:
Binary Decimal ASCII
01010011 83 S
01101100 108 l
01100001 97 a
01110011 115 s
01101000 104 h
01100100 100 d
01101111 111 o
01110100 116 t
00101110 46 .
01001111 79 O
01010010 82 R
01000111 71 G

Re:Show of hands...

[panaceaa]

What do you mean "look up?" You don't know that 01000001 is A and 01100001 is a? And that you just have to subtract each letter's value from the above numbers to know what letter number the value represents?

Come on: it's binary, not rocket science. You should have learned to subtract numbers in elementary school.

multiple entries?

[Anonymous Coward]

How can three of the Honorable Mentions have come from the same person when the contest rules specifically forbade multiple submissions?

Re:The second Image...

[wideBlueSkies]

>>Not to me but I really didn't like the drug reference

What's wrong with inecting one's self with a little knowledge?

I don't think the image really denotes bad drug usage?

Needles themselves aren't bad. Maybe a doctor is giving a guy a vitamin injection..... Think good things and the design is actually kind of cool.

wbs.

1 more vote for the "Soothing Green Light" one

[mooman]

Shame that Taco didn't pick the "Soothing Green Light" one as a favorite of his, because I liked it the best of the set.

Can we have a writein vote where the most popular one with the readers also gets made into a shirt? If so, this is my vote for the "soothing green light" one...

Oh, and don't forget extended sizes.. XXL or XXXL would be a nice thing. Some of us like our shirts baggy.

Soothing Green Light

[embedded_C]

Please make Dan Sandler's "Soothing Green Light" design into a t-shirt. I'll buy one then.

Can't we mod Dan's shirt up?

Shirts for Longhaired geeks

[Anonymous Coward]

It's amazing that most TShirts have logos on them that cannot be read if you have long-hair, like most of the hardcore geeks I know (including myself). I wonder if people will start putting logos on the back shoulders of the shirt for this purpose. (I wonder if I can patent this)

Re:color choices

[sacherjj]

Actually, deodorant doesn't work after there is a smell, because the smell is caused by bacteria. Deodorant doesn't kill bacteria. It only covers it up. You can use more natural deodorants instead, such as apple cider vinegar or salt stone. Both kill the bacteria and make an environment where the bacteria can't rapidly grow.

These are very handy when you are riding a bicycle across the country and only get to shower every third night. Vinegar works very well, and the smell evaporates in a minute or two. If you already stink, it eliminates the odor.

What finally made me switch to natural deodorants is realizing that the number one ingredient to my Speed Stick was anti-freeze (ethylene glycol).

Dan Sandler has kindly made his design available in vector format here [dsandler.org]... and it should scale nicely to any size you like!
