        I have a friend in my local LUG, whose wife works at the local
printshop here, and they do mugs, mousepads, t-shirts, etc. I'm going to
talk to him next week and strike up a deal. I'd actually like to come up
with some pewter/other metal key-fobs, using the pacifier on one side, and
the website URI on the other. I've got some other ideas too, but I have to
prevent carbon-based scope creep =)

        Also be aware that this is all funded out of my own pocket at the
moment, with all returns from it going to the FSF directly or towards server
bandwidth.  I can't currently afford to print up 1,000 t-shirts and 500
mugs, but I'm working towards that goal.

        I also have to set up a better way to handle ordering, which means a
proper (i.e. not self-signed, as currently) SSL certificate from Thawte or
other means, and deal with online ordering, brokerage, and credit sources.
It's not as easy as an overnight flip-of-a-switch.

        But... it's coming, not to worry. Ideas, arms, eyes, hands welcome.
