Ever wondered exactly what you were seeing when you were playing Space Invaders as a child… well. Here you go. A behind the scenes look at the alien space craft…

Shirt of the Day: What Space Invaders really look like
Bacon jam helps you eat, like, a pig
Pig + Blender = Bacon Jam. That’s the equation celebrated by this shirt.
A shirt that celebrates what is quite possibly the most awesome dining innovation since sliced bread.
When man first sliced bread he was left facing a conundrum – what to put on this slab of excellence that would enhance it. Bacon jam is the answer.
“…….we take a big bunch of really really good bacon, and render it down…add a bunch of spices..onions, etc..and let it simmer for about 6 hours…give it a quick puree, and blast chill it…and you have bacon jam.”
Shirts of the Day: Playable Guitar (and drums)
These are the best shirts ever. I’m serious. It’s cooler than having a Lego base plate stitched into your shirt.
You play the guitar shirt using a magnetic pick – and actual guitar sounds come out. Buy it here. Now.
You play the drum shirt with your fingers. Buy it here. Now. Start a band.
The Electronic Guitar Shirt is incredibly easy to play because each button on the neck is a major chord. She went on to mention how you can play dozens of classic rock songs with very little skill.

Look out, look out, there be zombies about
To celebrate the Brisbane Zombie Walk (which happened today) I thought I’d post eleven great zombie things from around the interwebs. But before I begin – the ABC is releasing all its footage and photos of the Zombie Walk into the open source ether through a service called pool.org.au which looks pretty cool.
“ABC is building an online ‘town square’ for all Australians. Pool is a collaborative space where audiences become ‘co-creators’. It’s a place to share and talk about creative work – music, photos, videos, documentaries, interviews, animations and more.”
But now. The zombies.
Some people are so scared of the zombie apocalypse they’re preemptively screenprinting their black four wheel drives just so people know who to turn to…
I see trees of green, undead zombies too, I look around and think… well, I’ll leave watching this to you…
Shooting zombies with shotguns is the best way to get rid of them… but to do that you’ll need some target practice. Which is why it’s lucky that this company called law enforcement targets has targets you can use down at the shooting range…
If you want to plot your strategy using Lego men on a model of your city then you’ll need an accurate rendition of your zombie fighting weapons – and BrickArms has you covered.
In the event that zombies are overrunning the planet you might need a deterrent. Give the other zombies the impression that your house is already undead meat and they’ll head next door…
You can use one of these ornaments. Or several.
If zombies do take over the world then you’re going to have to learn how to get ahead in life. Your career in the new zombie world is going to depend on your man-eat-man approach to life. Which is where this book comes in…
Churches won’t really be safe in a zompocalypse. Gatherings of people will be too much like a buffet. Decapolis has you sorted with a nice approach to your devotional life…
“During a zombie attack, it’s really easy to be anxious. Zombies want your brain, and you probably would like to keep it for yourself. Yes, you have to think about physical stuff like, “Where’s the shotgun,” and “aim for the head,” but beneath all situations is a spiritual level.
…
You have to be able to point to something God has actually said if you are to have a real peace.RO 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Ah! There’s a promise God made. I can point to that verse and go, “Hey, I believe that promise.”
Now think of the things that make you anxious and replace “in all things” with your situation…
And we know that during zombie attacks God works for the good of those who love him.”
This one is gone – but there’ll be a new market for zombie teddy bears and toys – this one sold for $89 on ebay.
And then there’s the matter of wardrobe. These ones come via t-shirt rater.

Zombies Were People Too
Shirt of the day (two): You kern make a difference
As a sequel of sorts to the kerning shirt from earlier today I suggest you consider this “keming” shirt – when kerning goes bad…
Shirt of the Day: You kern, do it
Ahh kerning. The art of bringing letters closer together… or tearing them further apart.
Here’s a shirt that celebrates the majesty of perfectly spaced typography.
Shirt of the Day: Clothing with bite
These hoodies are pretty cool.
Shirt of the year: Really
I normally call my shirt posts “shirt of the day” – but this one is exceptional. A shirt with a built in Lego base plate. It’s the ultimate in customisability.
Available from ThinkGeek.
Shirt of the Day: How are people made?
This shirt will help you answer that awkward question that everybody faces at least once in their lives… It’s pretty awesome.
Zombie Pandemic
Zombies are going to get you. One day. Possibly. So it pays to be prepared. Luckily hard earned government research dollars are funding important studies at universities to help us cope with our impending, zombie fueled, doom.
The conclusion of the study (available in PDF form here, complete with mathematical modelling) is that:
An outbreak of zombies infecting humans is likely to be disastrous, unless extremely aggressive tactics are employed against the undead. While aggressive quarantine may eradicate the infection, this is unlikely to happen in practice. A cure would only result in some humans surviving the outbreak, although they will still coexist with zombies. Only sufficiently frequent attacks, with increasing force, will result in eradication, assuming the
available resources can be mustered in time.
Scary stuff. I’d suggest buying the “In Case of Zombies” shirt from Threadless for instructional purposes.
And then perhaps checking out this instructional video (starring Robyn’s little sister) for further tips for dealing with the zombie apocalypse.

Super Mario Art
There’s a whole lot of awesome Super Mario Bros stuff out there just waiting to be posted.
To save myself some of the trouble I’m going to compile it all into one post.
Found here.
This vibrating Mushroom Cushion ($US11.99) will give new life to your room.
This Etsy user has a whole stack of bed spreads and other 8 bit inspired manchester. 
A game is only as good as its collection of villains. Here’s someone’s take on how the bad guys were cast…
Obviously Super Mario Bros was a good game. And much more entertaining than that video. Good enough to inspire this sort of street art…
Or these sorts of incredibly painful tattoos…
And this sort of painstaking dedication to converting things into Japanese artwork…
This, for those not familiar with the whole Mario thing, is someone’s attempt to get everything turned into a handy graphical representation of a family tree – you can get a bigger version here.
And finally, this is a shirt laying down the life lessons learned from a life playing Mario games…
Shirt of the Day: Burger King
Lets face it. Burger King has a creative advertising department. One campaign encouraged Facebook users to trade ten friends for a burger, they put together the subservient chicken campaign… I could go on. And I will.
Remember that zombie shirt from a couple of days ago? Well Burger King has topped it.
Soccer (or football to the purists) players have been throwing shirts over their heads to celebrate goals for years.
Horseplay: with wheels
Ralph Lauren polo shirts are one of those status symbols favoured by the rich and the famous. There’s a rule of thumb that says that the bigger the horse on the shirt the more the wearer is trying to draw attention to their awesomeness (ie the bigger the tool)
Segways are another such status symbol and Polo, the sport, is the last piece of this picture…
This is Apple co-founder “The Woz” playing Segway Polo.
I suggest the Ralph Lauren Polos of the future will feature a logo like this… you heard it here first.
Horrorble Shirt
Zombies are scary. They eat brains. According to Shaun of the Dead they can’t be killed by your old record collection – even if you play them U2/
Resident Evil is a computer game series (and movie series too). It’s about zombies.
Right, we’re on the same page… here’s a new (and awesome) Resident Evil t-shirt.
It’s free for people playing a demo of a game at a comic convention – that’s so many combinations of nerdness that it’s barely worth it. But the shirt is clever.
(potential) shirt of the day
Glennz.com is running a reader poll on the next shirt they may or may not produce… there are some crackers (though they’re always a little obscure without the caption)… like this one called – it’s a coffee serving robot from the future.
There’s also this Tetris Airdrop…
And these kung fu sumos…
