Mar 08, 2007 14:09
In the
heady days of my youth, I collected t-shirts. If
it was remotely geeky, I probably bought one. In
fact, I probably bought two, just in case
something happened to one. This had two effects
on my life: a gradual but total depletion of my
discretionary funds, and a gradual but total
depletion of empty volume* in my home. I'm not
sure which is worse: my gadget addition, or my
geek shirt addiction. I hardly wear any of them
any more, and I've largely stopped purchasing
them (though I do make the occasional exception).
I've gotten rid of some of them via donations, but most are just sitting around, occupying territory I could be using for other things, daring me to try changing addresses again. I'm tempted to just toss them, but then I came across this article on how to repurpose old t-shirts. Rather than getting rid of them, I could use them to make new shirts, turn them into a bag for my laptop, make some stylin'underwear (do text editor jokes make for good undergarment reading?), and more.
