Inspired by has_and_belongs_to_none, I decided to make a few shirts
that I thought would be cool to have. I based a lot of the designs on
various things I've heard that struck me as cool. I'm sure I'm missing
lots of great stuff, but this is what a quiet afternoon will afford
me.
All prices are as low as possible: I do not make a profit on any of
these. If there is enough positive feedback, I'd be happy to change $1
more on each and donate that to RubyCentral (or retire early... hah).
Some shirts cost more because there is more to it: more lines of text,
more graphics, therefore making it more expensive to produce. Shirts
will cost anywhere from $12 to $22.
== FEATURES
Here are a few notable designs:
* I <heart> Ruby (et al)
* A few region-based designs ("Atlanta Rubyist", etc)
* Quotes (from _Why The Lucky Stiff, etc)
* A few "Pragmatic" shirts
* Code snippets
* Random yummyness!
* Some stupid stuff too!
* And something for Haskell fans!

Consider adding the extra dollar or so and using it to support a Ruby activity.
The Ruby shirts, coffee mugs, mouse pads, etc. available at www.rubystuff.com have a mid-range markup that is used to help pay server costs for ruby-doc.org.

I see
(1..10).collect {|x| x*x}
This woud be better:
(1..10).map {|x| x*x}
The name "collect" tends to make one assume that it does
what inject does. On the other hand, "map" describes what
it does; it produces a one-to-one mapping.
Furthermore, "collect" in Common Lisp does something
different. OCaml and most if not all Lisp dialects use "map"
as it is used in Ruby.
And "collect" is longer. To me, it seems senseless to use it.
...but it appears to have a missing left square bracket.

Also, the pandas are cool and it's the best thing I could come up
with! That's all I've got, unless you have any other suggestions
for Japanese animals?
In regards to the panda: as you can imagine, it was never my intent to
cause offense. You're right, pandas come from China, and it just
doesn't make sense. I still like the design though.
I've taken it off and replaced it with these two designs:
The first is my favorite. It took some searching, but I actually found
the outline of the country. So, how about that for correct?
On the other hand collect is an old friend to old Smalltalker's like me.

I really think you need to drop it. Do you have any idea how offensive it is for Japanese people to be considered 'Chinese', or vice versa?
Making a suggestion that Japanese culture, nature, indeed anything, is "just like the Chinese" is likely to cause extreme offence in some quarters.
It would be like suggesting the Irish were "just like the English". Heck, China and Japan only restored official diplomatic relationships after WW2 in 1972.
I'd say until you come up with something better, remove it.

Of course - nobody means to cause offence, never does - I just thought I'd best let you know of your social faux pas before the Rubyists in .jp came around and smashed up the front of your web store.
You're right, pandas come from China, and it just
doesn't make sense. I still like the design though.
How about have the same panda but another slogan? "Ruby is so easy, even Pandas can do it" which has a sort of double entendre element to it...
I've taken it off and replaced it with these two designs:
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll make sure to add the #map version as
well. That way both camps will be happy. (And you're right, it's
shorter, which is great for shirts.)
Honestly, I'd not realized #map and #collect to be aliased until just
days ago (after I made the shirt) when I was looking for something
else entirely.
Also, if you have any other neat snippets, share them and I'll try to
make a shirt out of them.
