Kind of thought they would have the little dude logo on the front right pocket area with code project underneath, and a large version on the back, with "For those who code" or something under the logo, in color of course.
I don't really like the large billboard designs on the front of the Shirt, they get hot and sticky when wearing them during activities like bowling.
I'd like to see sports jerseys.

Yes, the shirts are tacky. But the feather boas are gorgeous!

You missed the point...
Those things you linked to are for sport. CP t-shirt is for coding!!!

I bowl and play a little golf, at my home bowling center there are over 25 programmers that are top notch bowlers, almost at the professional level. They play golf as well. I can see a Code Project jersey being pretty cool at the right price.
You have the logo dude swinging a golf club or bowling a ball in a large graphic, mixed in with code project color's like white, orange, green and black.
Then you can wear it playing golf or bowling.
Just an idea.

How about collared polo shirts with the little logo dude, Bob I think is his name, where an alligator or polo player would usually go.
That way you could wear them to work and still look professional.
Still waiting to hear from Marvel as I have suggested the same to them.

I have an iMac I'm trying to wipe and restore and I've been trying for days. Literally days.
To recover your OS you boot into recovery mode and your recovery partition to restore everything. Rainbows and butterflies appear while you are doing this.
Except the machine can't connect to the network to restore Yosemite. It needs to connect to the internet to restore Yosemite because That Is How It Does It (Isn't that what restore partitions are for?). After rebooting a couple of times it starts connecting: but then it can't connect to the AppStore itself and asks me to try again later. Every other machine in the office can connect to the AppStore.
I try a different tactic: downloading from a different machine. Except I can't. To download Yosemite you need to connect to the AppStore and it's throwing "can't connect to appstore errors". Finally a new error pops up: "This item isn't available in your area". So Canada can't get access to the Yosemite download, eh?
OK, let's try building a recovery disk directly. I'll hack around and try and get the Yosemite installer off a different machine.
I can't get the recovery driver creator app from the app store. No problem, I have a direct link to it. I download it (on my windows machine) and try and copy it to the USB drive I've been using on the mac. Oh yeah: Windows can't write to Mac drives. /slams head. Go to Mac, try and download the app, Safari redirects me to the app store. /slams head again.
Download app on a different mac. Run the recovery app.
"The recovery drive was not created. An error occurred"
I weep tears of frustration
- I can't recover using the inbuilt recovery partition because it doesn't have the actual OS.
- I can't recover using the internet recovery because it either refuses to connect, or when it does connect it barfs with a pointless error
- I can't recover using a recovery drive because I can't create a recovery drive and it won't tell me why.
Why is this so hard?
[And I've just found an old 10.6.3 disk. Hello OSX Ocelot!]

All them Apple FanBois told me this only happens on Windoze machines.
You must be using an iWindows machine and confusing it with a iMac?
Yeah, that must be it.

I must disappoint (someone).
I bought my Mrs. an refurbished HP laptop (Win7 pro). As fodder for the iFanboys, the immediate windows 7 upgrade it was fed put it in the land of BSOD.
On the other hand, the recovery partition worked perfectly - in fact, it was a better install than the original as it didn't include some of the bloatware (line Office 365 'trial').
I still preferred restoring DOS when the system went down - but they pretty much never did.

Strange. I won't insult you with the old standard "Gee, it works fine for me!" BS.
My iMac is old enough (2009) that it doesn't offer the internet recovery so I've always made a bootable recovery USB as soon as I've updated from 10.x to 10.x+1. It worked OK the one time I've used it.
Because I'm the paranoid type I use Carbon Copy Cloner[^] to maintain a bootable clone of my HD as well. It works amazingly well.
I know none of this helps you now but it might help for the future once you get this straightened out.
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

Normally I would have used something like Carbon Copy, but in this case I simply wanted to nuke the machine and start fresh.
Nuking the machine was easy. Starting fresh just isn't happening. It should happen, and I'm sure if all the parts worked it would be super-smooth, but it seems with Apple that they very much believe that things won't fail, so there's no fallback, no work in trying to diagnose issues, present alternatives, or give you a hint that would allow you to dig in yourself.

Yeah, I tend to find more/better help using Google that leads me to sites like iMore, MacRumors and AppleInsider for technical guides and how-to's.
I'll assume you already tried something like this[^] but it failed without error codes. That sucks.
I have a bootable Yosemite USB recovery stick I can send you if you want.

This is bit of a pain but take it in to Apple genius bar - you have free support for life of the product - they'll reload it for you off their network for free so long as you have a lic key for the OS - I think that they can look it up (from memory).

Hmmmm? I don't recall OS X having a license key.

They must be amazing if they can memorise and recall every one of the tens of thousands of license keys that they have issued.

Not in the "Windows" sense. If you didn't buy or upgrade to it, then you will need to - Apple track EVERYTHING!

That's almost where I'm up to, but that would be conceding defeat.

Considering the time already spent it would be a more cost-effective solution rather than defeat. Then you can take a disk image of a clean OS install for the next time...

I agree - take it to the shop already.
In numerous years of Mac tinkering, I've never had this kind of problem - generally the reinstall just works. Perhaps there is some other problem?
