[](http://www.goodstorm.com/item/factorycity/hippie%5F2%5F0?ref=chrismessina.me)So yes, *finally*, thanks to the good folks at [GoodStorm](http://goodstorm.com/?ref=chrismessina.me), I've set up a [store](http://www.goodstorm.com/stores/factorycity?ref=chrismessina.me) and will be selling [my shirts](http://flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/sets/272946/?ref=chrismessina.me) for the low low *low* price of $12.94ea + corkage. Get this -- I make 70% of the difference after cost on these bad boys. **Seventy**. What? What's that [Mr. Zazzle](http://www.zazzle.com/?ref=chrismessina.me)? What? You only [offer 10%](http://www.zazzle.com/contributors/learnmore.asp?ref=chrismessina.me)? Yeah? You only thought Puff was a boy's [magical dragon](http://www.killerclips.com/clip.php?id=100&qid=1118&ref=chrismessina.me)? And oh yeah, [GoodStorm](http://www.goodstorm.com/?ref=chrismessina.me) runs on open source... [CivicSpace](http://civicspacelabs.org/?ref=chrismessina.me) and [Drupal](http://drupal.org/?ref=chrismessina.me) specifically so you can finally put your money where your [code is](http://www.goodstorm.com/blog/mark/2005/12/20/some%5Fsource%5Fcode%5Fwith%5Fthat%5Ft%5Fshirt?ref=chrismessina.me)! And yeah, this wouldn't be complete without some shameless plugs for some worthy causes since I'm thinking that any money I make off these shirts, I'll put towards orgs that support [open media](http://eff.org/?ref=chrismessina.me), [open culture](http://creativecommons.org/support/?ref=chrismessina.me) and [open thinking](http://www.ms.lt/?ref=chrismessina.me).
