T-shirt chart for December 2008

Steve OMG — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 11:01:55 +0000

The last OMG teeco chart of the year, and an interesting one. We deliberately kept it back a couple of days so we’d catch all the blogging about Black Friday sales - and BOY did it make a difference. Threadless off the top spot and 20 new entries in the top 50. There are about 100 extra teecos covered by the full chart this month - which is amazing (well, I think it’s pretty amazing!). Well done to Linty Fresh - obviously working the PR magic with the highest new entry!

As a reminder, this chart monitors all the tshirt blogs and watches which sites they link to from their homepage posts.

For the data geeks out there mintelligence made one change to the chart algorithm for us this month - removing more paid / affiliate / streetteam style links from the counts. This hit Threadless pretty hard - as they appear in most blogger sidebars with a streetteam tag. But I think this makes for a more interesting chart, actually reflecting the coverage new tees get, rather than the baseline popularity of a site.

I’d love to know if you have a gut feel that a teeco got more coverage than is apparent from the chart - so I can better check the results.

Sexy new look

Steve OMG — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 10:00:49 +0000

OMGTees.com has a fresh new look for December 08. I hope you all like it.

The main change to the site is that we now have a monthly sponsorhip ‘thing’ going on at the head of the site. I’m exceptionally happy to have Orange Alexander on board as the first sponsor for OMG. This is still my favourite ecowarior tee for when I’m cycling to the supermarket.

Slots are being snapped up quickly - so if any teecos fancy a months worth of exposure to every OMG visitor sometime next year do drop me an email.

blanka outsized timecheck

I recall a short period in my early teens where my brain was SO bored with life that I could tell you the running time of any track I owned, I could tell you the attendance at any game for the past 3 or 4 weeks, I could tell you the two tracks that were adjacent to any track you named from any major compilation album released in the past 4 or 5 years. For two disc sets, the last track on one disc was ‘adjacent’ to the first track on the next disc for the purposes of this game.

This tee from blanka would have been perfect back then. Perfect.

I could list the ingredients in all readily available chocolate bars. I could give you the gear ratios of all the Muddy Fox bikes. Man! What a geek!

uk cafe press opens

Steve OMG — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 08:51:59 +0000

Now cafe press shops suck. This I know. But if you live in the UK they have always sucked even MORE because the postage would cost you more than the shirts, and then the nice gentlemen at customs and excise would charge you £30 import duty on a $10 tshirt. Then DHL or whoever the carrier is will charge you an extra £5 for touching the package, £5 for delivering it, and an extra 15% just for fun. That $12 funny Obama shirt ends up costing you more than a small car. So joy - you can now buy cafepress stuff in the UK without all that extra stuff.

Oh - and the code I chopped is DEMINT1 - Oh 2 - and if you know of a good cafepress shop let me know. I wouldn’t want to continue condemning them without due cause.

credit crunchless cassida

Steve OMG — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 08:39:36 +0000

So we are in recession. Nice. I never liked money anyway. It just gets crumbled in your pocket and then the guy at the sweet shop says he thinks it’s a fake and you have to go to the atm again. Bah. We’re better off without it. Back to a life of hunting and gathering - that’s the life for me. Use your last 120 EURO on this tee from cassida. If you’re going to hunt and gather, you might as well do it in an expensive top! (not that expensive though - we got a coupon code for you - discount of 20% with : “discount20″ )

And if you worry that 120 EURO might be too much - it has a shoulder print too! At least doubling the cool factor. Also has the advantage of identifying you from behind - so that your fellow uhnters and gatherers will know not to shoot you in the back and eat you.

skyscape wonderland

Steve OMG — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 10:06:28 +0000

Winter (apologies southern hemispherians) is upon us and my neck hurts. During the day I’m staring upwards at the geese in their odd scrappy V shapes sqwaking their way across the sky. At night I’m staring upwards trying to remember how to spell “pleidies”, and trying find Jupiter.

This tee from medicated clothing (really sweet little indie tee website) might replace the night time part of that pretty nicely. If you live in the city head out into the sticks this weekend and stare skywards. It’s fun once you get over the freezingness. Honest! Wear more than just a t-shirt though!

If you are planning a trip to view the stars, take some friends and some nice malt whisky in a tiny hip flask and make sure you look up the difference between shooting stars and satellites because it’s wrong to wish on space hardware.

hibiscus or poppodom?

Steve OMG — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 09:47:47 +0000

One of the great joys of life has to be saying enjoyable words. Nature is the best source of excellent words, mainly because botanists are all drugs addled hippies with a lyrical penchent for wordplay and polysyllable funtime. Coffee varieties can be great - just say “Guatamalan Maragogype” or “Celebes Kalossi Toraja”. My personal favourite word is poppadom - see below for potentially boring poppadom spelling trivia.

My point? Well - in the garden Hibiscus is a cracking word. Hi Bi Scusssss. Delightful! Wear this shirt to have an excuse to say a lovely word more often than usual. Oh - and coolar free are doing a 28% off thing justnow. Hurrah!

Poddadom trivia - The Oxford Dictionary can’t make it’s mind up how to spell it. Listing the word as “listed spellings include papadam, papaddam, papadom, papadum, papodam, papodum, popadam, popadom, poppadam, poppadom, poppadum, poppodam, puppadum, puppodam, puppodum. However, there is nothing to say that you cannot use the unlisted spellings papodom, popadum, poppodom, poppodum, puppadam, puppadom, and puppodom”.

Lao Tzu loves my shirt

Steve OMG — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 17:01:43 +0000

If you ever find yourself lost for conversation while out in the world - buy this shirt from munchie brain and start arguements about your weird Taoist ways. Ten thousand creatures indeed!

We put thirty spokes together and call it a wheel;
But it is on the space where there is nothing that the usefulness of the wheel depends.
