No, actually it shows how popular your blog and RSS feed are [;<). I got them in dark blue. One is as a gift for a colleague.

And I'm a firm believer that code is rarely the model. Heh. I'm much more aligned with your dad on "What Is a Model?"

Nice of you to say! Maybe something related to modeling should be my next shirt. :)

I like your new site design too. Although when I come to the comments page I get a "Caution: This website contains suspicious content" banner from the Phishing Filter."

So, I just retrieved an e-mail from DHL Express confirming that the shirts were shipped today with estimated delivery of Tuesday (assuming the Menlo Park pickup came off as planned).

Hmm, modeling on a T-shirt. I suppose so. I was given one like that as a going-away present (in 1992 on taking a transfer to another organization) that has a printing-system architecture printed on it.

Modeling. That would be interesting. Now you've got me wondering what T-shirt I would want to wear at OOPSLA this year. Hmm. I need to do one that bridges between "What Computers Know" and "What Programmers Know," perhaps.

Well, I found the T-Shirt delivery on my front porch as I was leaving to go to the SEASPIN meeting and David Anderson's presentation on the MSF Agile CMMI approach. I was afraid of missing the bus, so I didn't wear it. That would have been fun.

The cool thing is that the T-shirt shipped earlier than their promise and arrived a day earlier than the expected delivery as well. It would be interesting to see how Zazzle works their just-in-time and delight the customer process so beautifully.

I'm still thinking about the model case for a T-shirt, and David's talk reminded me that I already have a design that would make for an interesting T-shirt at http://nfocentrale.net/TROST/info/2005/06/i050601.htm

That's a cool symbol. And it's a great use for Zazzle - to promote something. That and humorous comments.
