Photographer Robert Barbutti and companion model their tee shirts in the Maker Shed on Sunday. Of course, there were more exhibits, demonstrations and planned spectacles at Maker Faire than anyone could have hoped to absorb in a single weekend. But the floor show wasn't bad either! I enjoyed people-watching the attendees and, especially, found myself appreciating the incredible spontaneous collection of geek-themed and other statement tee shirts that arrived on the backs of the Makers. Here are a few favorites, in no particular order (caffeine-themed shirts, out in full effect, have been left off, as have a number of shirts with equations). 1. No, I Will Not Fix Your iPod (worn best by a 10-year-old kid) 2. I Am the Future of the Internet (on a decidedly white-haired man) 3. If I Can't Kick Your Ass, I'll Build a Robot that Can 4. MOOG 5. Fix it Yourself (with a Soviet-looking fist-and-wrench graphic) 6. War: The First Casualty is Truth 7. I Make Stuff Up 8. Science. It Works, Bitches and Stand Back, I'm Going to Try Science! (both from xkcd) 7. I Do All My Own Stunts (worn best by a 4-year-old) 8. I Still Want My Flying Car 9. Saturn V Launch Vehicle (with diagram) 10. Schrödinger's Pet Shop and Deli, Haverford, PA 11. Do Not Want! 12. I Void Warranties 13. Ignore Alien Orders 14. Own Your Sovereign Personal Power ...and finally... 15. Everything I Need to Know, I Learned in Zelda (with a bulleted list of items) I'd like further explanation of #s 11 and 14, which both seemed to be one-offs. (The first on a college-aged guy, the second on a totally tough-looking man with a cowboy hat.) Did you see any great tees that didn't make this list? Comment away!
