Alas, yet another thing

Alas, yet another thing one can't do with cloth yet.

Take this. Then replace Pinky's thought-bubble with an LCD screen — say, smartphone-sized, or perhaps a bit less — and have it display random images from your iPod / smartphone / thumbdrive / neural interface / potato chip, set to shuffle.

... it's admittedly only slightly different from a tabletop picture-frame, but.

A number of shirts in that particular competition are strangely compelling: I direct the interested reader to Twilight Zone, Twilight Zone, Bionic Woman, Sailor Moon, Monk, Thunder Cats, and Future Rama, any of which should inspire. Of course they also have Ghost in the Shell and Time Warp (and more) if you're interested in diversion rather than inspiration.

shirt.woot.com is invariably interesting; it's a shame I don't wear T-shirts. I wonder if they'd be interested in doing a derby of designs specifically for button-down shirts? (I don't think they can at present, though: the manufacturing process and usual materials for button-downs and T-shirts are completely different.)
