Programming in a Nutshell

YES!

This is EXACTLY right!

I used to tell people that I had a meter floating above my head, representing how my work was progressing.  I’d say, “It’s either all the way on ‘suck’, or all the way on ‘awesome’.  There is no middle ground, no gradient scale; it’s either all ‘suck’, or all ‘awesome’.”

This shirt design is almost the same thing.  Pure AWESOMENESS!!!

I got this on Topatoco.com.  If it’s still available, it’d be here: http://www.topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=TO&Product_Code=3PS-PROGRAMMING&Category_Code=004

Element of Surprise WTF

I thought this was mildly amusing.  Found it here: http://www.northernsun.com/Element-Of-Surprise-T-Shirt-%288417%29.html

A life should have Secret Plans.

True.  A life should have Secret Plans.

Makes life more interesting.

Get your own shirt here:  http://www.topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=TO&Product_Code=ASW-SECRETPLANS

Then make some Secret Plans of your own.

STAND BACK! I’m going to try SCIENCE!

In keeping with my “Evil Genius” theme… mmMMMuuraaaAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAA!!!

Oops, maybe not.  Maybe I’m just going to mix some harmless bleach and vinegar…

You are here

Just a quick orientation.

Help you get your bearings.

CONCENTRATED EVIL

That’s right, folks!  I’m not just regular run-of-the-mill evil when I’m wearing this shirt.  Oh no!  I’m CONCENTRATED EVIL when I’m wearing this shirt!  MmmuuraaahahahHAHAHAHAAA!

(that was my evil laugh, btw)

I’m Batman!

No, actually I’m not.  I just like to say it.  Like Michael Keaton.  “I’m Batman!”

The blue-flame outline effect is cool.

Look at me still talking when there’s Science to do

Another ThinkGeek shirt, based on the ending song “Still Alive” from the game Portal, by Valve.  View on YouTube.

LINUXUNIL

I don’t remember where I got this one, probably from ThinkGeek.  It’s a simple design, LINUX spelled forwards and backwards, sharing the X, with Tux on the back:

RTFM

RTFM = Read The F—ing Manual!  This is how you reply when some luser asks a question which is answered in the manual… and is obviously in the manual… and is clear that they did NOT read the manual.  So rather than wasting time explaining what’s already in the manual, just reply, “RTFM”.  Done.  Easy.

Originally got it from ThinkGeek, but they don’t carry it any more. 

LMAO

LMAO = Laughing My Ass Off.  Usually used in a chat or text message to express FUNNY! or HILARIOUS!

And funnily enough, here is LMAO in graphic form!  On a shirt!!  LMAO!!!

Originally got it at ThinkGeek, but they don’t have it any more.  Boo.  Sad face.

Killer coding ninja monkeys DO exist.

I saw this shirt on ThinkGeek and just HAD to get it!  I think the design is funny, and especially the text at the bottom.  ThinkGeek has done it again!  They’ve also discontinued an awesome shirt, again.

I use linux.

I made this shirt via Cafe Press some time ago.  I was going to use something like, “I don’t do Windoze”, but then decided against it after reading an article which said, basically, to focus on the positive rather than the negative when using Tux.  So I kept it simple and to the point.  If you click through to my store on Cafe Press and buy the shirt, I get a buck.

Tux, the linux penguin, created by Larry Ewing using The Gimp.

Bow before me, for I am root.

This is one of ThinkGeek’s FIRST t-shirts EVAR!  It’s like wearing a piece of HISTORY!

Okay, maybe not like that… but kinda… if you’re me.  I think I got it back in the late ’90′s.

Note that I don’t have this attitude, I’m actually humble.  I  just thought it was funny.  Especially when people read it and ask, “What’s root?”

i’m uncertain about quantum mechanics

This is a humorous reference to The Uncertainty Principle.  I thought it was amusing.  Originally got it from ThinkGeek, but I can’t find it there any more.

chaotic evil: means never having to say you’re sorry.

If you’ve ever played a role-playing game like Dungeons & Dragons, “chaotic evil” might sound familiar; it’s a character class.  But the best part of this shirt is the next line: “Means never having to say you’re sorry”!  ‘Cause you’re not!!  So HAA!

Lego Evolution!

I thought this was clever.  Don’t remember where I got it (via ThinkGeek maybe), but here’s the tag:

Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

True.  Everyone is, indeed, entitled to my opinion.

I made this via Cafe Press.  If you click through to my Cafe Press store, you can buy it.  If you do, I earn a buck.

Pluto replies: Weak.

Some number of years ago, some silly planetary society declared Pluto a non-planet.  This is Pluto’s reply.  And I agree: weak.

Pluto will always be a planet to me.

This is a Thinkgeek shirt.  If it’s still available, it’d be here:  www.thinkgeek.com/product/8964/

Hancock. Not your average superhero.

I got this shirt for free as part of the opening night promotion at the Dome in Hollywierd.  What a deal!  Plus, the movie is pretty good.
