[extropy-chat] T-shirts? Intro post

To switch to a topic completely different from what's been discussed
recently: Are there by chance any t-shirts available (clever or
otherwise) which have messages/images related to extropy,
transhumanism, or the singularity? It probably sounds tacky, but I've
found t-shirts to be an effective means of planting memes in people's
heads and initiating dialogue.

This is my first post here, so I should probably introduce myself. I'm
Neil, a first-year graduate student at Caltech, pursuing a PhD in
Computation & Neural Systems. My past research experience is with
computational neuroscience and robot vision, when I was studying
computer science and cognitive science at Carnegie Mellon. I'm still
uncertain as to what area my thesis will be on, but I'm interested in
such topics as computational vision, the neural basis of
consciousness, modeling of the visual system, and neuroprosthetics.
I've been interested in extropy for a couple of years now, and also
have a keen interest in commercial spaceflight and space settlement.

Cheers!
