The other day I wrote up TwiToShirt.com, a service that lets you submit any tweet and have it printed on your choice of tees (or other items) – sidebar, it looks like they’ve redesigned the site since that post. Today, however, on a quick jaunt through Racked.com, I noticed their discussion of a significantly more awesome Tweet-on-shirt setup.

Created by Squidder, this new take integrates the new tech-trend of augmented reality. By printing a unique bar code on the shirt, a Twitterer’s latest Tweet can be displayed via any device that can read the code (a mobile device or computer with camera being the most obvious). Check it out here:

T-shirt stores pop up (and shut down) online on a daily basis, it seems. Some are worth a salt. Some, not so much. Wire & Twine definitely falls into the former category. In their own words, the Cincinnati-based company is made up of

a group of designers, coders, screenprinters, photographers, artists, moms, dads, and down-to-earth people — and we like to make things

And their designs speak to their expertise. As do their designers (Khoi Vinh of Subtraction fame anyone?). A couple of standouts that I wouldn’t mind in my own closet include Playstation (also shown above) and 50 Ways to Help the Planet. And I believe Tom mentioned a hankering for the Special print.

Any that jump out at you? Please do share!

Back in June I wrote a post about a little t-shirt company based out of Maine called Sustainabilitee. The link sat in my Wants folder for quite a while until I needed a birthday gift for a friend. I decided that an eco-friendly tee that read Fake Bacon, Awesome might just be the perfect gift for a long-time vegetarian. Of course, while I was at it, I ordered myself a tee as well.

Well, this weekend, Emily (who runs Sustainabilitee) launched a new site for the brand at www.sustee.com. While not a replacement for their e-commerce site (which lives at www.sustainabilitee.com), the new site offers an inside look at the goings-on behind the Sustainabilitee brand. There’s info on the clothes, the models, upcoming shoots, and even information on how to become a model if you’re interested - of which Emily is also one, and looking amazing doing so!

And, perhaps best of all, Sustainabilitee is having a Black Friday sale. This weekend only, they’ve got a few coupon codes up that can save you up to $75 off your tee purchases:

$5.00 off purchase of $20.00. Use coupon code: 93JFEN
$10.00 off purchase of $50.00. Use coupon code: NPAGPK
$20.00 off purchase of $100.00. Use coupon code: 988SEU
$50.00 off purchase of $200.00. Use coupon code: T8H33V
$75.00 off purchase of $300.00. Use coupon code: 9PTGMK

Not the worst way to get some holiday shopping over and done! Especially since you don’t even need to leave your house! And Emily is fantastic about helping you track down the sizes and prints you’re looking for (I should know, I put her to work find the right size for myself in the print I wanted).
