Cool site
Check out Threadless t-shirts. It kind of reminded me of the "Art in a box" link that was posted here recently.
Threadless is a site that puts up spec t-shirt designs for people on the web to vote for - winning designs get printed. There are some really amazingly cool designs there, too bad I already have more t-shirts than I need.
And here's a nice motivational site. Very topical given the disaster of a class I just presided over...

Surprisingly enough, I really like the t-shirts with the flapper portraits even though they remind me of reading "The Great Gatsby" in 12th grade.

Ok, I'll stipulate that 12th grade sucked major ass, but "The Great Gatsby" is a truly excellent book.
It is one of the books, along with "The Crucible" and "Lord of the Flies," that, upon rereading them as an adult, made me realize my English teacher (Mr. Reid) really did know what the hell he was talking about.
"Our Town," however, I can still do quite happily without.

High school ruined two things for me for a lifetime:
1. The Great Gatsby - My English teacher went over this book in PAINFUL detail suggesting the symbolism behind every line. Maybe its simple transferrance now that I think of it. I now remember coming up with my own interpretation of a passage, being the only one to share any thoughts on it in class, and getting reamed from the teacher because I didn't interpret the passage exactly as she would.
2. French Impressionist art - I was force fed impressionist art for an entire semester in my high school French class. I didn't mind at first, but six months of the same style of anything makes me want to gouge my eyes out. I lean towards more of a renaissance or pre-raphaelite art tastes.
