NEW 2600 SHIRTS ARE OUT - HOLIDAY SPECIALS ONLINE

It's that time of year again.

This time, though, it's that time in history as 2600 turns 30 with a special commemorative 30th anniversary t-shirt. We sum up three decades of hacker history and storage mediums on the front, while showing off one of our headlines for every year of our existence on the back.

There's more. We thought it was only right to put something together in honor of the continuing NSA scandal that we've been enjoying this year. And so, we present our own NSA shirt, featuring an inverted picture of their headquarters (which got them very upset with us) and our take on what NSA really ought to stand for. To top it off, we have a little icon on the back from one of their leaked PowerPoint presentations, along with a little advice to help us all get some of our privacy back.

But wait. We're not done. Just for the fun of it, and because it's starting to get a little cold, we've come up with something we've never had before: official 2600 ski caps. The main difference between this and other knit caps is that this one proudly proclaims "2600" on it in 4"x2" silver thread.

We've saved the best for last. For the entire month of December, we're making these new items, along with a bunch of our other stuff, available at heavily discounted prices in the Holiday Specials section of our store. There's no need to travel to the mall and do battle with other shoppers only to get a bunch of mainstream garbage that will soon be forgotten. Stay at your computer and help introduce your loved ones to the world of hackers this holiday season. Or treat yourself to some really cool things that we're genuinely proud of.

We've been at this for 30 years now and it's all because of the support of readers like you that we've made it this far. The world of hackers has never been more exciting and more relevant than it is today. We hope you enjoy what we've put together this holiday season and that we can continue to come up with more cool hacker paraphernalia to share in the years ahead.
