I’ve recently re-discovered the awsome awsome site to get t-shirts Threadless.com. You can buy t-shirts that people in the Threadless community have designed themselves! Meaning not many people have them, they are unique, and most importantly not advertisments for large retail shops!

This brings up something I’ve had on my mind for a while now, and I wanted to just express it if you guys don’t mind indulging me. Has anyone noticed how many people are wearing shirts with the retailers name on it? Not a day goes by that I don’t see 3-4 people wearing shirts that say “Holister” or “Abercrombie and Fitch”. I used to not pay any mind to it, but I recently realized why exactly people wear this stuff. The only reason I can come up with, at least when it comes to clothing that came from a semi-expensive store, is that they want everyone to know they can afford to buy from that store.

Actually I never knew, up until a few weeks ago, what exactly “Holister” sold. If you ever go in to their store, you will see exactly what they sell. When I went in, it was hard to find an item of clothing which didn’t have “Holister” written across it. It seems people are willing to pay the store back for its advertising.

Sorry about the rant, I promise I’ll have some ASP .Net and/or SQL Server 2005 stuff soon. Most likely on the subject of encryption, so stay tuned….
