      Wife's new t-shirt design is decent. The original "Just Make It!" is reminiscent of our MauiMakers motto "Shut Up and Make Something", which is a comment by Mike Rowe at Maker Faire 2011.
      That is also close to the sign on the wall of Noisebridge: Shut up and Hack!

      Looking forward to the book
