Re: T-shirt ideas / feedback
I confess that two months ago in the midst of an ear infection, fever and writing phd dissertation i registered some ridiculous domain names, such as oxpp, for one (whatever) per person. And it made me giggle because I realized it sounds like ox pee pee. (sorry if i've offended anyone). I really wish someone would write a mesh enabled tic tac toe activity. Or make a bluetooth touchscreen keychain tic tac toe, as a fundraiser. Or at least an app that would run on palm devices for yuppie commuters to play tic tac toe with their styli. or a cross between tic tac toe and scrabble (sorry i mean scribble, the open source sc__) and spin the bottle. (kissing on both cheeks is an acceptable form of greeting in some countries) i just keep thinking about the x and the o that's all. I mean, that is the prototypical game, involving x's and o's, that a significant number of humans in the known universe have played (as well as some dolphins) Yes SJ i wikified it: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tic_tac_toe publish early, publish often!

Re: T-shirt ideas / feedback
I guess the beauty of keeping cafepress around even when there are other options is you don't have to decide. The customer can choose? There are actually some funny options for apparel that are not activated. -Original Message- From: Edward Cherlin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subj: Re: T-shirt ideas / feedback Date: Fri Oct 26, 2007 2:46 am Size: 1K To: Seth Woodworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: devel@lists.laptop.org Nice, but why not One (billion) Laptop(s) Per (billion) Child(ren)?

Re: T-shirt ideas / feedback
Todd, I will be sending you an email about several things for the site in just a minute. Ian, I would love to see students thrown at the idea. Feel free to use the ideas on the wiki page, there are some darn good ones on there. Maybe if you give each student a different phrase/image? At the very least they would provide a lot more ideas as a test bed. But mostly I would say not yet Ian. Maybe in a week's time we could discuss it further? A timeline should be the first priority. Those of you who want to help out, speak up and we'll all get together and schedule what's gonna happen maybe?

Re: T-shirt ideas / feedback
There's a lovely, simple t-shirt design that has been used to date [care of pentagram?], just a large XO on an orange or green background. Perhaps we can find a way to have those made on a more continuous basis and made available publicly. I don't think the square OLPC logo makes an ideal shirt design... perhaps as part of a design. a shirt with the joke warning messages on one side would be neat (perhaps w/ something prettier in the center square)... and the 10m design is interesting (would that be one half on each side?)
