Nerd Fashion Emergency

Tonight I'm off with my cousin to go see an advance screening of the Battlestar Galactica: Razor movie. This raises a serious dilemma... what to wear?

Sadly, I don't own any actual BSG clothing, so it's down to the OpenSolaris T-shirt or the Log4Perl T-shirt. The OpenSolaris T-shirt is a cool black number with a snippet of actual Solaris kernel code on the front. But the Log4Perl T-shirt is a limited edition given to me by the actual creator of Log4Perl, who sits several rows over from me. Come to think of it, I could also go with the extremely limited edition Viable Paradise X T-shirt, on the theory that this puts me very near the top of the Geek Hierarchy. But I'm guessing not too many folks will understand what "Viable Paradise" refers to. I mean these are grubby media SF fans, after all.

Man, where are the Queer Eye guys when you really need them?

I demand a movie review.

The VPX shirt definitely outgeeks everything else. That said, you're right in that pretty much nobody will know you're outgeeking everyone else, which I think may be the point of these things.

I'm happy wearing Spider-man shirts to things like this. It makes other people HAPPY. Everyone likes Spider-man and people always end up complimenting my taste in clothing. Which, you know, doesn't happen to me all that often unless I'm wearing Spidey :)

I would have only one choice for something like this. That would be my T-shirt with the following on the front:

010010010010000001110011011010000110111
101110000011100000110010101100100001000 
000110000101110100001000000101010001101 
000011010010110111001101011010001110110 
010101100101011010110010000001101111011

011000010111100100101100001000000110000 
101101110011001000010000001100001011011 
000110110000100000010010010010000001100 
111011011110111010000100000011101110110 
000101110011001000000111010001101000011 
010010111001100100000011011000110111101 
110101011100110111100100100000011100110 
110100001101001011100100111010000100001

Although I wear it when I go running, so maybe not.

Nope, no T-shirt giveaway. Or at least if they did, I was dumb enough to have totally missed it.

Comment Syntax

The basics:

For a new paragraph, enter two carriage returns.
Plain URLs such as http://www.yahoo.com automatically become links.
The system encodes all angle brackets and ampersands. For example, if you try to enter a HTML paragraph, the system displays the open tag literally as "<p>".
