Defcon, free shirts

shirtsfree shirt

I’m at Defcon in Vegas and I’ve already managed to give away 1 of 5 boxes of shirts in the space of 3 minutes. I guess writing “FREE” on the box worked. If you’re here and want to get a shirt either look for me or drop your contact info on the tip line and I’ll work something out (if you’re at Defcon). If you got a free t-shirt today, hopefully you’ll contribute to the tip line as well. We will have more shirts in the future (seriously don’t worry if you don’t or can’t get one of these), but if you’re here you might as well jump on the opportunity. There is a picture of me after the jump to help you identify me in the wild.

    You should start selling “hack a day” stuff on the website so that those of us living in other country’s (australia) can have a nice peace of hack a day in those lonly 24 (or so) hours between hacks.

    3 of us are on our way to Defcon now. Currently cruising at 85MPH on the 15 FWY just north of Baker coming from California. Hope to see you there and score some free t-shirts.

    I know those shirts would be popular if they were available to buy online… defcon is a damned expensive trip for us here in the UK, but I know quite a few of us fiddlers would love to spread the Hack-a-day word…

    I don’t really get why so much ppl are asking for a free t-shirt, + free shipping. Well, that’s what it looks like…
    If they get on sale, I would pay EUR 20 for a shirt, excluding shipping. And I think I’ll take 2 then… Keep up the good work eliot!

    Come on… We are geeks. You got to have XXL! We might not all be XXL, but there are bound to be quite a few. I’m 6’1″ and 225lbs. If you had them for sale on the website I’d take an XXL tanktop and an XXL T-shirt. Set it up so I can buy with PayPal.

    Thanks for the great site!

    LOL.. hackaday has had shirts for ages.. if they havent sold them on site yet.. what makes you think eliot will start now??

    they are limited edition.. for ppl who go out of their way to get them or atleast goto a convention or sumthin jeez..

    that being said.. grey with black or dk. grey print is obviously ejeeto

    also.. i’m sure it would be easier to bribe sumone at chestnut hill to send you one out.. yes even a mango one.. than to give eliot the chance of a lifetime to “send one to europe with free shipping”

    god.

    hack a day should defintly sell these i’d pay up to $25(us) without shipping for one of these. don’t be a nub and make your own – it’s not the same!

    Forgot to mention – it’d only be okay to make your own if hackaday doesn’t sell them online. Great site – i read it daily – keep up the good work :)

    Please please send a shirt. i am in texas so it won’t cost a fortune to send it and i’d be willing to pay postage if need be. Thank you team hack-a-day it’s a great prmotional idea as well. i think it would be a better idea as other have previously mentioned that the stencil should be relased in digital format so that we can make them ourselves and save you the trouble of shipping them out.

    You know, you can hire a company to produce the shirts and sell them. All you need todo is make a link to sell them. Sounds like many people would like a shirt. I would really like one also. Oh well, maybe some other time.

    I would gladly pay a competitive price for one of these shirts from your website. (14.99 seems average). I would love to get my hands on a couple of them.
