Rebel Power Supply

Wow, I was so ridiculously tired (from Cross Country practice/classes), I just got up from a 6 hour nap. Which is actually alright, since I need the sleep… Now I just need to finish my Computer Systems exam. I’ve got a to-do list about 20 items long, so hopefully my GTD attitude will carry over to that too. After checking out my Google Reader feeds a bit, I wanted to comment on Brady Forrest’s post about Threadless and their new store in Chicago.

If you’re in the area, you have to check it out. The company has a really sweet community-based sales model: all of their designs are submitted by members of the community. Those that receive enough positive votes are actually printed into shirts, and put up for sale. People that take a picture of themselves wearing the shirt and upload it on the site can get discounts on future purchases. I think it’s an amazing way to harness the power of the market: if enough people like a shirt enough to vote for it, the odds are pretty high that they’re going to actually buy it.
