Seth,

Thanks for the kick in the butt.

who'd like to suggest designs to load up and vote and promote to page. for
anyone who is tickled by the idea it would be nice to actually come up with
a t-shirt idea that was built with a laptop. perhaps something for the kids
and for the b1g1 people.

In my opinion we'll need to move on from cafepress but it works for now.

If anyone knows photoshop/illustrator or gimp/inkscape and could help out,
let me know . . .
