Found these awesome T-Shirt designs while surfing this morning. I don’t know anything about the person making them, but they do have a mighty fine sense of humour!
Split Personality
Thomas the Tank Engine meets the Transformers! Obviously inspired by Ringo Starr.
Endangered Species
Inverting the old adage – You Are What You Eat.
Extreme Beginnings
Look to see extreme Penny Farthing events at the London Olympics.
You can find more of these designs at http://www.glennz.com. The designer Glenn Jones, is a graphic designer and illustrator from Auckland, New Zealand. Wicked!

Chooch got a new iMac, so we have here old iMac to give away to a good home.
It is a Purple iMac, still works fine. At the moment it has OS9 on it. You could put OSX on it, but you might want to add some extra memory if you do that. Anyway, if you are looking for a computer to check your email and things like that then this would be great for that.
Currently it has Mac OS J1-9.2.2, but we could put the English version on there. Have some software on CD as well which you can take with you. Hard disk is 10 gigs. 192mB ram. Has Clarisworks, Mozilla and some games installed.
Pick up in the Azabujuban area. For more information drop us a line via the contact page.
Update: Looks like it has gone:) Thanks to everyone who got in touch.

No, don’t worry we aren’t leaving Japan!
I have just finished a CCNA prep course, run by Panache, and our trainer on the course is leaving Japan and heading back to Canada.
So he is having a sayonara sale. If you are after a nice big 50 inch tv, a new stereo, dvd players or some furniture and are near to the Tamachi / Mita / Shiba areas you might want to check out the website he has setup with lots of pictures of what he has on offer.
Information about Lawrence Healy’s sayonara sale can be found at his website: http://www.lawrencehealy.com.

While a camel might be out of the question, here are some of the fascinating things we have found that would make wonderful gifts:
- Carpets – with their own distinctive style, carpets from Xinjiang, handmade by the local Uighur minority certainly add a touch of Central Asia
- Knives – great as presentation pieces Uighur knives take one right back to the age of bandits and Silk Road thieves
- Gourds – locally grown and hand-decorated Xinjiang gourds make for wonderful discussion pieces
- Bird Cages – delicate hand made wooden bird cages take one back to nightengales and the 1001 Nights
- Silk – the Silk Road was named after the silk traded between China and the Middle East and today the tradition lives on with Atlas Silk
