If anyone finds this useful, drop a comment to let me know. Perhaps I'll do some more in the future.

Likewise, if anyone finds this useless and annoying, let me know that too....so I won'd do it in the future :)

Hello all you wacky threadles users.
By trade I am a web-master, more or less; I've noticed a lot of confusion when it comes to posting links and images and such, so please allow me to offer what little expertise I have.

Today's tip for Threadless users: links in posts.
It seems a lot of people don't realize Threadless allows you to write HTML into your posts; its pretty cool of them, and allows you a bit of freedom in your blog.

So, rather than make your readers cut and paste into a new window, why not create a link for them that opens in a new window?

To make a standard link, use this HTML (remove the quotes from around the angled brackets though)
"<" a href ="http://url_of_your_link.com" ">" Name of Link "<"/a">"

to open a link in a new window (so your user doesn't have to)
"<" a href ="url_of_your_link.com" target="blank" ">" Name of Link "<"/a">"

Again, make sure to remove the quotes form around the angled brackets (< and >)
I only included them so they would appear in this post.
Rename url_of_your_link.com with the link you want to use; change Name of Link to whatever you want to call it.

For example, here it is in action: This link opens a new window with my web site.

Best of luck, and feel free to drop a line if you have any questions.

Want to get seriousuly creeped out ? Read this National Geographic article on the scientific production of real life "chimeras" - animals with human genes and organs.

Is science going too far?
Personally, I think so...

See, I told you to ignore it, but nooooo. Curiosity got the best of you didn't it? You're weak, weak I say!!

actually, I jsut wanted to put these links somewhere handy that I could remember...so:
T-Shirt sites thread

Music of 2005

This is my sxsw submission so far. Any helpful suggestions?

So, I got this shirt along with the 6 others I ordered during the opening of the Holiday Sale, and I must say this shirt looks great in person. The colors of the design look spectacular on the light blue t-shirt, and the image just reproduced terrifically. I highly recommend it.

Also, for those of you unfamiliar with the nomenclature, a brief explanation (copied from Wikipedia):

Spaghetti Westerns is a nickname for a broad sub-genre of Western film that emerged in the mid-1960s, so named because most of them were produced by Italian studios. Originally they had in common the Italian language, low budgets, and a recognizable highly fluid, violent, minimalist cinematography that eschewed (some said "demythologized") many of the conventions of earlier Westerns - partly intentionally, partly as a result of the work being done in a different cultural background and with limited funds. The term was originally used disparagingly, but by the 1980s many of these films came to be held in high regard.

The best-known and perhaps archetypal spaghetti Westerns were the so-called Man With No Name trilogy (or Dollars Trilogy) directed by Sergio Leone, starring American actor Clint Eastwood and with musical scores composed by Ennio Morricone (all of whom are now synonymous with the genre): A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).

Going to see NIN at MCI Center in DC!!
Can't wait. It should, in all totality, roxxor my soxxors.

Here is yet another submission I've been working on.
Inspired by my girlfriend (don't ask).
Now available where ever fine goods are sold.
Don't get caught in Feudal Japan without one.

The color of coffee after you've poured a decent amount of cream into it is a beautiful thing. Almost as beautiful as the swirls the cream leaves before you stir it in.

I'm just now drinking my cup of coffee for the day. I should be going to an art showing in DC, but I'm being lazy as hell today.
And I have some unsightly pimply things, which make me feel less than sociable.
"Don't look at me, I'm hideous."

Can you name that quote?

Woo-hoo , my very first Threadless submission is up. Entitled "Recorded Loop," it is part of the Urb Loves Threadless competition.

You really ought to go vote for it...and, you know, give it a good score...please?

The funny thing is I've seen this exact image in real-life (well, sans cigarette smoke at the time). My hometown is a little place called Port Huron, MI, which happens to be right across the river from Sarnia, Ontario, and an little area called "Chemical Valley." On more than one clear, summer night I would find myself driving up the St. Clair River, a giant moon reflected off the water to my left. I would pull into a little park, outside of Marine City, and sit on a wooden bench beneath the most beautiful willow tree you could imagine...and there, across the river were the twinkling lights and flames of the vast industrial complexes, trying their damndest to look innocent- but failing miserably at it.
