I love the ribbon shirt, the Use2009UI=1 revenge (Click for full post)

I had an idea for an anti use2009UI=1 shirt and scribbled this (right) on Sketchbook Mobile. I knew I would see Phil at AU so a SnagIt of the real ribbon and bit of CorelDraw’ing later resulted in:

I presented a shirt to Phil to wear with pride, or otherwise as he likes, but didn’t get a photo. Fortunately I corrected omission that last week a bit closer to home. Maybe I should follow Phil into the T Shirt business but for now there are only a few of these. I know one made it “Inside The Factory”!
