Nerdy T-Shirts

So, in the interest of obscure references and nerdy nerdness, I made Jean Baudrillard and Frankfurt School shirts. Here are the details:

For the sultan of the simulacra, we have the copy of a copy of a copy of his countenance, in the black of toasted toner on the white of winter, of course.

And for the more cultured, we have the Frankfurt School ampersand shirt. Top five dudes of the day listed right on front. The actual print is not quite so crisp, which gives this T that good ol’ German, vintage look.

These are hand-screened, hand-packaged, and hand-shipped via USPS. They’re going for US$20 postage-paid. Please include the size you want in the PayPal comments. Nerd it up. Read the rest of this entry »

Published through Roy Christopher’s own Well-Red Bear imprint, Follow for Now is an eclectic, independently-minded snapshot of the intellectual landscape at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It also includes an extensive bibliography, a full index, and weighs in at nearly 400 pages.

“Roy Christopher has one of those distinctive voices that pops up every once in a while, an intelligent voice that hasn’t been domesticated by the academic machine, an engaging voice that hasn’t been prostituted by the infotainment complex. He’s been tracking down the situations, people, and ideas that he thinks matter. I’m glad to see him get this all down in a book, and I’m not alone.”
Peter Lunenfeld, author of USER: InfoTechnoDemo
