Might as well slap an "I'm Jeff's Bitch" sticker on my forehead.

Any chance of getting the colour scheme inverted? As a concession to those of us with black-based wardrobes. I didn't consciously know it, but I've wanted one of these shirts since the first time I read Code Complete a -- oh my -- a decade ago.

Phil, it's not a celebration of me, it's a celebration of professional programming-- developers who grok Steve McConnell. And you can get the grey shirt (or, now, the black shirt) if you don't care for the URL on the back.

Scott, I am working on the black shirt. It'll be in the store sometime soon. I like black too. NONE MORE BLACK!

What! No Coding Horror thong! Come on!

Hot darn do I wish I could fit myself into an infant creepter. The coffee cup will prolly have to do...

Well done, Jeffe! Bonus points if you can integrate "orange" into a graphic at some point.

I await the tie-dyed version with the caption "clothing horror".

Thanks Jeff.. I guess I'm your bitch now.. Any chance in you coming down to SoCal with Mr. Stansfield?

Ordered! Cool shirt. Totally too expensive but, WTF.

I never got my free wumpus sticker that I emailed you about.

"What! No Coding Horror thong! Come on!"

Seconded.

> Totally too expensive

Yeah, all the cafepress stuff is a little spendy, probably because they're doing 95% of the work. I'm not sure why the black T-shirts are $5 more than the white ones, though.. is there something about printing up black T-shirts that is fundamentally more expensive than white ones?

> No Coding Horror thong

I ask myself, WWMcCD?*

* What Would McConnell Do?

Way cool shirts, Jeff.

"I'm not sure why the black T-shirts are $5 more than the white ones, though"

Because they are using a color inkjet printer and starting with white t-shirts. Takes more ink to print a black t-shirt than it does a white t-shirt.

for the same reason black macbooks are more expensive than white ones :)

thanks for setting up the european alternative, ordering soon!

I wonder if these kinds of obsessions lead to better or worse programming skills and personal life.

Versus being obsessed with.. say.. women's bosoms? ;) I'd say better.

I'll wait for the image-theft-safe WTF version of the shirt ;-)

Well, Gabri and Jon, your wishes just came true.. check the store.. ;)

Still working on Phil's request.

Dude
Next shirt

I would buy one

I just bought a black
woo!

McConnell has a totally pimp vest. That's all I'm saying.

I finally have a worthy successor for my ratty old Daring Fireball shirt. :)

You may have noticed a large order in your order report; thanks to you and Steve, the CafePress engineering team will be sporting these on our monthly bug bash day.

Excellent.

(PS -- Scott got it right: printing on black requires a lot more ink)

My cafepress order arrived today!

The order also included a coupon code for $6 off an order of $40 or more: "AUG640". Only valid through 8/31/2006.

How do you just "send me $3 at my work mailing address and I will send 4 stickers to you". ?

Postal Mail? Money Inside?

Martin, send whatever form of payment you're comfortable with. I'm flexible.

Jeff,

I forgot to mention that I am in Europe ;)
Don't have paypal :p

Will EUR work?

It has been some time since I visited the US or handled US currency, so I am totally unaware of the dimensions of a Nickel. Furthermore, I am totally unaware of how many cents a Nickel is worth.

So, how "big" is it?

If only I had a nickel every time someone asked me that. I kid! I'll update with actual dimensions.

Jeff,

Cotton starts as white and thus a white T-shirt involves no dye. In order to make a different color shirt (such as black) they must dye the shirt and thus add to the cost.

Any chance we could get a polo shirt with more to it than such a small logo? I can't where T-Shirts at work :-/

Black shirts require that a prep surface be applied first so the ink can setup, additionally the ink used is of a different type. It is more intense in its saturation to allow it to overcome the black background. Try taking a piece of black paper and write on it, you will notice that it takes substantially more ink to get the same affect you get on white paper. Yes, I have done the t-shirt business in the past.

Where's the Wumpus T-shirts?

I've ordered from US instead of international; its got the correct size/colour.

Spreadshirts are having trouble sending me, they've given me a refund. I might tinker and design it on another provider.

btw Jeff, I'm enjoying reading Code Complete; thanks for the recommendation.

It'd be nice if these stickers would actually come in the mail someday, wouldn't it?

I'd love to see some Paula Bean related merchandise.

Think they may like to change their slogan on the international T site

"Not quite black, not quite white. Just the way Michael Jackson likes it."
