Now that she has graduated I will need a new standby person ;) I once made a t-shirt with plain transfer sheets and ironing. It is simple, cheap and quick but it only looks good once. After you have washed it the beauty of it is gone. Well, she is not quite a computer addict but she was working on her MA thesis for the past few months so I was sure she was behind the computer.

Yes, "I don't have time to make them myself" was a sloppy statement, meant to include stocking t-shirts, owning and operating a silkscreening machine, packaging, distributing, customer servicing, etc. (Figuring out how to sell them online would be part of the fun for a geek like me though.) And "crazy markups" should translate as "more than I, personally, would like to pay for a t-shirt." But in life (and especially in New York!) you get what you pay for, and you're right to call me out on it. For the record I've heard that Spreadshirt's products are very high-quality and I think you have a brilliant business. I'm just jealous of it! I also have been called Ken on numerous occasions...you're not alone! @Anne: I need a sister with a computer addiction! @Jana: Thanks for the video.

I sometimes struggle if I am out there in "the wild" and cannot access any of my favorite information resources. My sister and will often call each other "Hey, are you behind the computer? Yes? Oh great! Can you look something up for me?" I think it's time to upgrade my phone ;) I've stood in front of your grandfather's house too ;)

That will teach me to post before reading your "about". Now, I know what a kenspeckle is, which is not Ken's look on life. :-) Sorry for the confusion! Jana Hi, Lauren, HA!

The "make-your-mother-cry" hair color reference made me chuckle with joy... oh the things I've done that would make my mother cry. Of course, she is Southern so that includes things like walking out of the house without lipstick. ;-) Sorry to hear that you think Spreadshirt's prices crazy. This video might help you understand our pricing, as it shows what goes into making a shirt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ5OBhlJEhQ I know it seems like it is "just a shirt", but there is a great deal in production that happens, particularly to deliver the quality that represents you! And remember this price includes customer service for you and your customers, technical support, hosting, credit card processing, error management, quality control, etc., etc. Lots of stuff that you don't have time to do besides only making the shirt. Anyway, I hope that helps you understand the pricing a bit. Oh, and I'm glad I got tagged when it was only five things! Lucky me! http://www.lifeonashirt.com/2007/04/19/eating-peas-stepping-on-toes-and-other-things-you-dont-know-about-me/ Enjoyed your blog! Jana Hi, Ken,
