And that T-shirt article is fascinating.

I went to the Computer Engineering section of Teespring, and the selection was rubbish. Mostly generic fill-in-the-blanks designs like "Awesome Computer Engineer", and one with one of the oldest computing jokes I know, "There are 10 kinds of people..." Presumably there are some better ones somewhere? Do we know what they order them by? Most recent, or random, or some kind or ranking algorithm? I couldn't find an FAQ about that, or about what campaigns are and how they work.

Maybe I should slap the second through tenth oldest computing jokes onto T-shirts and submit them?

Go for it. So many programmer t-shirts are just terrible!

I imagine they might be better served by slightly more specialist web stores like ThinkGeek or the XKCD store. When I wanted a bunch of different compsci-themed T-shirts for a group of geeky people I knew, I got them from the XKCD store. But there probably are lots of people searching Teespring who don't know about ThinkGeek or the XKCD store, or who still consider those lacking, so you might still make a fair amount.
