Bitshift

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.
