I already own a couple of camera/photography-related tees, and I have to say they are some of my favorite wear. But looking at the roundup of such clothing put together by PetaPixel makes me want to hit the links and get even more.

My favorite of the 21 shirts in the collection has to be the above "oh, crop" design, which takes a leaf out of Adobe Photoshop's crop tool. The camera display panel shirt looks pretty awesome, too, and I'm still trying to figure out which dSLR display it copies. Of course, there are plenty of T-shirts on the market now that have a camera hanging around the neck, but that's so passe.

Electronic components are removable from the shirts so the garments can be washed.

Like huh? Unlike the Wi-Fi Detector and Dynamic Life T-shirts, which could be considered moderately useful, the Interactive Portal Shirt from ThinkGeek simply doesn't seem viable. Mounted in front of the apparel is a wireless 5.8GHz pinhole camera and TFT (thin film transistor) LCD display. The shooter projects what you see to the person wearing the other shirt by displaying it on the wearer's screen and vice versa, creating an imaginary portal between the two people.

It's completely useless if you buy only one shirt since the "portal" requires a pair to work. Two shirts, by the way, will empty $200 from your wallet.

Update: Dillyeo is already sold out of the shirt, but eagle-eyed reader pigmond found an even better deal: $11.67 shipped from DealExtreme!

Geek meets chic? Um, no. But if you're in the market for a simple Halloween costume or you're hip enough to pull off wearing this to a club or party, Dillyeo has a sound-activated equalizer T-shirt for $11.97, plus $5 for shipping.

Maybe you've seen this before: it's the same shirt ThinkGeek has been selling for $39.99. Check out the video to see it in action. (Note: The accompanying Kanye West song may have a few NSFW lyrics.)

Dillyeo is one of those deal-a-day sites, and this one ends around 10 p.m. ET tonight.

The hand-wash-only shirt is available only in X-large size, but Dillyeo says they run small, so if you normally wear a large, you should be good to go.

I'll cop to owning the similar Wi-Fi detector shirt (on sale at ThinkGeek for $19.99, FYI), which I wore a couple years ago as part of my "tech support" Halloween costume. (It rocked.)

Like that shirt, the equalizer is fun, a conversation piece, and a way to stand out in a crowd--and it's on sale for the same price as a nonanimated, nonbattery-operated shirt. What's not to like?

Twitter is great, but there usually comes a time when phenomena like it jump the proverbial shark. The fact that these T-shirts from ThinkGeek exist could mean Twitter is approaching that point, but I do kind of want one anyway.

The brown and blue shirt essentially turns you into the Twitter "anonymous" icon, or the default Twitter profile image for people who haven't uploaded their own pic (I use my CNET headshot, natch!).

The icon's pictured to the left, but for those who don't know it, it's o_O. Just like that. It's an emoticon, really, that resembles a surprised gerbil.

The shirt sells from $15.99 to $17.99, depending on size, which I feel is blatant discrimination. I'll check ThinkGeek's Twitter feed for an apology.

If you've ever wondered what it would take for Wilson to finally snap, well...it's today. After getting a load of flack for "spoiling" the "Star Trek" movie on last Friday's show, Wilson retaliates. You gotta hear this. We also take a crack at the Guitar Hero reality show, Disneyland noodies, chatting with strangers, and wolf shirts guaranteed to give you magic powers!

After forcing Wilson to bite his tongue re: "Star Trek" spoilers, we talk about Disney laying off employees in charge of screening mid-ride pictures for nudity before they're displayed and sold to the parkgoers. Larger men are particularly excited about this because it means that they can finally let their moobs fly free, but something tells me parents won't appreciate the sneak peek.

We go into detail about why this might be a bad idea, although I had no idea they even employed people for this specific job in the first place. What do you even call that? Nude-person-picture-watcher-outer? Get a real job, Grouch.

Well, well, wellllll--look who decided to join the Konami code party: FACEBOOK. Literally weeks after ESPN used the code for its unicornery, Facebook comes along and does it to its site too, but on a much smaller and more irritating level.

Now, when you enter in the famous code (I shouldn't have to tell you what it is), a couple of cheesy colored orbs pop up on the screen and follow your cursor around like an annoying little mutt. Granted, I don't know how they could have topped UNICORNS and RAINBOWS, but they could've at least tried.

Here's where it gets ugly. Calls From the Public today is sponsored by Wilson freaking out on everyone for getting mad at him about spoiling a certain cameo...actually two. We got several voicemails and countless e-mails about our Tang-a-lang, but when we give Wilson a chance to apologize to our beloved fans, he lashes out and says a few things that might rile you all up.

Now we all know that Wilson gets a lot of hate on the show, but it was a joke! That said, listen to today's show and let us know what you think. Leave us a voicemail at 1-866-404CNET or e-mail us at the404[at]CNET{dot}com!

Custom shirts with Shirts My Way

After reading Rick Broida's post on how to save a small fortune on custom eyeglasses, I decided to do some research into what other custom clothing items you can purchase online. I found a Web site called Shirts My Way that lets you design your own dress shirt using a variety of different fits, fabrics, and cuts.

The project started with co-founders Michael Yang and Peter Crawfurd, who married their knowledge of custom tailoring with Web programming to start the site. The interface of the online design studio is simple, but comprehensive: the ordering process begins and ends with the shirt designers page.

From here, you choose everything from fabric (stripes, checks, denim) to design (collars, cuffs, yokes, pockets) and even minute details like the number of button holes and custom monograms. All in all, there are more than 7 trillion possible dress shirts combination possibilities.

The cost of the shirt depends solely on the type of fabric swatch you choose--all the aforementioned add-ons are included in the price. The company just launched the site last year, so introductory prices currently range from $59 to $69 with free international shipping, but prices will soon start at $65 and work their way up from there. Finally, the site is also running a 2-for-1 Easter promotion until April 19.

For more information on pricing, design, and how to order, take a trip over to ShirtsMyWay.com.

Let's say, for example, that wearing a Star Trek T-shirt around town doesn't adequately convey your love of the franchise. You could step it up a notch (or a few) with a shirt that continuously flashes Trekkie images, disco-ball-like, for upward of 32 hours. That ought to help get your message across.

Glow-in-the-dark garments and apparel that uses LED displays have been around for a while. But ThreadLites turn the brightness up with an integrated graphic-illuminating electro luminescent panel that allows designs or text to flash on the outer area in a predetermined pattern. Imagine a sound equalizer meter lighting up your chest.

The company that makes ThreadLites and TechnoThreadz T-shirts and caps announced Monday that the flashy garments are now available in customized logos. "Is your brand being left in the dark?" the Web site asks. Unless you're doing PR for the Las Vegas tourism bureau, it might be better off that way.

If you do get one of these, please note: the garments integrate circuitry that can be damaged by submersing in water, so you're not going to want to get pushed into the swimming pool with these on.

Will we soon be calling Microsoft a "fashion giant" in addition to a "software giant"? OK, that's probably stretching it, but the company is launching a new line of graphic T-shirts called "Softwear by Microsoft." Yep, you read that right. Microsoft is getting into the clothing business.

AdvertisingAge tells us the line is meant to evoke the '80s, a seminal time in the history of PCs. As such, the shirts will feature designs including retro MS-DOS fonts and a mugshot of a young Bill Gates. Just pair them with acid-washed jeans and a Swatch watch and get out the floppy disks!

Ad agency Crispin Porter & Bogusky is behind the shirts, which are expected to hit select stores (presumably not including Neiman Marcus) on December 15. Rapper Common, who also came of age in the '80s, will be a celeb spokesman for Softwear, and contributed designs, as well.

After some reflection, we think we can adjust to the idea of Microsoft making T-shirts. But please, Redmond, stay away from evening gowns.

Violated by a lightgun.

Thanks to this Dunt Hunt tribute shirt from the folks at NerdyShirts, you'll always have your trusty lightgun by your side. Actually, it's not so much by your side as it is in the crack of your butt, sort of like a mash-up between The Wizard and Boyz n the Hood. It won't save you from bullies at school or a burglar trying to break into your parents' basement, but you'll certainly be safe from hordes of flying ducks attacking your screen. And you can definitely use it to cap that slobbering fool the next time he tries to laugh at your game.
