Help design the Seasteading ’08 t-shirt

The final list will be picked on Monday next week. We’d love to see your ideas!
Meme of the now

Take a picture of yourself right now.
Don’t change your clothes. Don’t fix your hair. Just take a picture.
Post that picture with no editing. (Except maybe to get the image size down to something reasonable. Don’t go posting an eight megapixel image.)
Include these instructions.
The first Seasteading Institute social was last night. What a blast! Patri gave a very inspiring speech about his motivations and hopes for seasteading, and I got to meet some very cool people. I’d guess about 25 people showed up. It was held at Joe Lonsdale’s house in San Francisco. Joe recently appeared on Glenn Beck’s show:

Who will watch Watchmen? Nobody, if 20th Century Fox gets its way.
After a major court victory, the studio has announced a bid to block the release of Warner Bros.’ anticipated adaptation of the seminal graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.
Fox originally tried to develop the project more than a decade ago, but didn’t manage to get the film off the drawing board. The studio claims Warners never properly acquired the rights to Watchmen, and, in a major twist, instead of seeking a share of the would-be blockbuster’s box-office gross, Fox is seeking to kill the flick entirely before it unspools in theaters March 6.
