RubyStuff!  The premiere shop for Ruby apparel and, well, stuff!

 From  http://www.rubystuff.com/about.html

"The buzz on the 'Net is that RubyStuff is the Ruby stuff shop of choice 
for developers of Web 2.0. And wearing a T-shirt from RubyStuff, or 
drinking an ordinary beverage from a RubyStuff mug, will make you *11* 
times more productive.  Really."
