[ANN][ADV] Rails on RubyStuff

The first batch of Ruby Stuff left jaws dropping and had developers all
over the world stepping through the site in slow motion to take it all
in. Now the selection of personal peripherals has been updated to
include Rails T-shirts and coffee mugs.

Ruby Stuff is the premiere shop for Ruby shirts, mugs, mouse pads, and
more. Money raised from Ruby Stuff helps pay for ruby-doc.org and
rubyxml.com

Enjoy!

P.S

As the source graphics for the Rails logo were so generously made available by David Heinemeier Hansson and Jon Hicks
(http://media.rubyonrails.org/logo/rails_logo_remix.ai), I've made available the png files used for the shirts and mugs:

include Rails T-shirts and coffee mugs.

Heh. This series is already available from
http://www.cafepress.com/rails_stuff, which uses small print on the
front and the big logo on the back. That shop is also selling the
stuff without the $2 markup used at the rubystuff.com shop.

If you for some reason or another should prefer the old design that
just has the big logo on the front, these items are also already
available without the $2 markup at
http://www.cafepress.com/rubyonrailsshop\.

In case anyone else missed the announcement, it's at

Hmm seller calls it "money raised" (donation) and competition calls it
"markup".

The blood of the capitalist battlefield!

Heh. As previously explained, both on ruby-talk and on rubystuff.com, the markup is used to fund Ruby sites. On either Rails-wear site, CafePress makes the same amount of a purchase, but if you care to throw a few bucks towards ruby-doc.org and rubyxml.com, a purchase from RubyStuff helps out.

CafePress also allows people to make their own one-off shirts by uploading their own graphics. You pay the base, no mark-up, price.

With assorted sources for Rails source graphics, there's no end to what people can come up with to suit their tastes.

Don't care for CafePress? Take the graphics and pick a different source.

The Ruby community is all about choice.

Oh, but it *is* a markup, over what CafePress is going to charge no matter what. There's no secret about that, and it makes no difference what it's called. At the end of the day, it goes to help the Ruby community.

Well, this is hardly a battlefield, really.
