+ Hello Hipclicks readers! First MSNBC’s weblog and now USA Today’s…

Comfy blog: Just wanted to share this link to a new blog called Preshrunk, which links to the coolest T-shirts for sale on the Web. I think these are my favorites so far

Now we may lack shiny infographics, but we make up for it by having plenty of snark. Hope you stick around a bit. Thanks for the heads up, Drew.

+ Please, no more CafePress shirt links. Sure, setting up a CafePress shop is quick and painless, but they’ve managed to set the bar a bit too low. Besides, the quality of their items is pretty crappy. The iron-on transfers used on their shirts wear quickly and the lack of dark colored shirts is a constant letdown.

Now don’t get me wrong, the designs that some of you have sent in are really clever. Still, I can’t recommend anything sold thru CafePress and still keep a clear conscience. Go talk with a screenprinter. If your shirt idea is really as good as you think it is, you should be able to make your money back.

+ Plenty of you already know this, but the Japanese’s t-shirt folding technique is unstoppable. A shout out to Adam for the pointer.

+ Nominations for the 2005 Bloggies close tonight at 10:00pm EST. If you haven’t already nominated Preshrunk for “Best New Blog”, you’ve still got some time. I can’t guarantee that we’ll be as awesome at this time next year, so you may as well nominate us while we’re at our peak.
