How'd You Pick These T-Shirt Categories?

I recently learned a new word: Polymath. I found it while looking for words to describe a person with a ton of different interests. Although I wouldn't call myself one, I can relate to having interests all over the place.

In fact at last check I have the following list: snowboarding, skateboarding, designing t-shirts, designing computer chips, starting companies and web sites, mentoring kids, writing short stories (some published) and I've written a novel while driving across America. I write songs and play the guitar and keyboard. I follow and make fun of most burgeoning internet trends (but still participate). I run a small outdoor drive-in and have recently revised an interest in astronomy with a sweet new telescope.

I am also currently between work assignments, making me one of America's army of unemployed. With all the activities listed above I still fill the day with work and employ two people part-time.

With all this going on around me, when I have t-shirt ideas, I never know where they are gonna come from. I did my best to categorize them. Here's what I've got:

• Recessin' -- For all the ideas that hit me while I'm bemused by this current economy.

• Clothe The Nerds -- I design computer chips, graphics and web sites. I'm a nerd from way-back.

• Modern Life -- This is a spot for all the new topics facing human beings and is a bit of a catch-all category for my random thoughts and for topics local to me in Massachusetts.

• NetShirting -- All things fun or funny about the internet.

• Anti-Social Networking -- I like to poke fun at social networking. It's almost too easy.

• Citizens of the Word -- For my inner literary side (and grammatical tyrant).
  

Most of all, though, I like people and to make my friends and family laugh. Hopefully some of my shirts will make you happy too. Order one today!
