New: I still remember my first! (with heart) Atari tees Colleen/Candy/Stella/Pam

Are you an Atari fan?  What was your first experience with Atari hardware?  If it was the Atari 400, Atari 800, Atari VCS or the Atari 5200, we have a shirt for you.

So what is this all about?

For those that aren't aware, these were the project code names for these products.  The names were derived from certain well endowed Atari employees (yeah, we won't get in to that whole bicycle thing).

Stella was the Atari VCS

The video computer system would later be redesigned and marketed as the 2600.

Pam was the Atari 5200

The 5200 was Atari's next generation console, following up on the VCS.

Candy was the Atari 400 computer

Colleen was the Atari 800 computer

Some information on the shirts

All shirts are hand screened and are printed on demand. This shirt will generally be screened, heat set, and shipped within one to three business days of your order. 

At the moment, the shirts are sourced locally; and we attempt to use Gildans or Jerzees for the heavyweight 100% cotton ones; however, we will also use heavy weight 100% cotton Hanes or Fruit of the Loom tees if that is all that is available in a particular size. You can also request Hanes Comfortsoft cotton/poly blend tees (the hues will sometimes be slightly different on these).  

We can accept special requests; if you want a different color or type of shirt or ink, if you'd like the graphic (when applicable) to be a different color than the text, we'll be happy to work with you, just send us a note and let us know. 

For special orders, please understand that since we currently source our tees locally, we can't guarantee the availability of a particular color in all sizes. This is normally only a problem in sizes larger than XL. In addition, for the women's fitted shirts, we currently have no control over whether the shirt will be scoop neck or v-neck. Contact us and we'll do everything we can to get you the shirt you actually desire.

New items: Liberal Veteran tees, all five US service branches

Available for all five branches.
Get them at Military Tees at The Wits End

The Wit's End has liberal veteran tee shirts available. Many people are under the mistaken impression that the military is one giant block of conservatives.  That is not true at all.  Admittedly, the ratio is in favor of the conservative elements, but there are a significant number of progressive military servicemembers and veterans. Part of the problem is that the conservative members are more vocal, and get most of the attention.  This leads to the more liberal elements keeping their mouths shut because they believe that they are hopelessly outnumbered. These tees help get the word out that they are not alone, there are other liberal veterans and one of them is standing right in front of them as they read the shirt.

Each shirt has three variations (Army only has two) you can choose from (using the USMC one as an example ):

Abbreviation (Not available for the Army)

Without U.S.

With U.S. (this is the default)

Are you a liberal veteran?  Do you know one? Consider getting one (or even many - bulk discounts are available) of these tees. They are currently on sale, 20% off the normal price. That makes them $12.79 for a limited time - or as low as $10.39 each for bulk orders.

The shirts are hand screened on demand.  They are available in a variety of colors and shirt types.  You can also special order your own color combinations at no additional charge (note; however, that it may add a little time to the order while I find the shirt color you desire.)

Are you looking for shirts for active duty members?  Progressive military members? Atheist military members?  We'll have those available soon - they are on our Etsy shop and we are in the process of transferring them to our online store.

Interesting concept for a business. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Stranded Spinner dolphin I came across during a Kemp's Ridley patrol

A set of my photos on Flickr

I do volunteer Kemp's Ridley sea turtle patrols for the National Parks Service's Division of Sea Turtle Science and Recovery at Padre Island National Seashore. April 17th of 2010 was the tail end of a very  stormy few days.  During my patrol, I came upon a stranded spinner dolphin.  I called the Seashore and they sent some personnel and they also called the Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network.  They also contacted another patroller who was about a mile away, she happened to have some towels with her.  We kept her (the dolphin) warm, wet and calm while waiting about 20-30 minutes for the professionals to arrive; it took a little while because they had been involved in Earth Day activities.  Unfortunately, she wasn't able to recover, though she had excellent care; she died three days later.

These are some photographs that I took at the time. There are descriptions of what is going on in most of the photographs.
