Just in time for “no, really, I didn’t forget to buy you a Christmas gift” Christmas gift giving comes the new “I’m on Twitter…follow me” T-Shirt from the MacMerc Store.

Presented in the traditional white type on black fabric styling of all great geekwear, this shirt displays the words “I’m on Twitter” on the front and “follow me” on the back. As a unique feature of this particular shirt, there is a space provided on the back of the shirt produced in “writeable flex printing” where the wearer may scribble down his Twitter username using the marker provided with the shirt.

The “I’m on Twitter…follow me” T-Shirt is available in basic black in sizes ranging from Small to XX-Large for USD$18.90. The XXX-Large version sells for USD$21.90.

Just tell them that it got stuck in the mail…they’ll never know.

Note:MacMerc.com is not associated with Twitter.com and makes this shirt available as a form of pop culture satire, not as official Twitter merchandise. Please don’t sue us.

Scary Stuff: Zombies and Vampires in Photoshop is a segment I did for The Lab with Leo Laporte where I turned Lab cast member Sean Carruthers into a brain eating zombie and a blood sucking vampire–all using Photoshop’s Liquify filter and a few Adjustment Layers.

Don’t be scared, come check it out.
