This is for anyone who's had to design or work on any large files on a Mac... It's what designers dread when they work in house on slow computers... This particular pinwheel can function as a cool t-shirt, while striking fear into the hearts of your fellow mac users, and can also help pass the time while standing in line at the grocery store or bank. Hope you guys like it.
|

Even the sight of it on a t-shirt made my heart skip a beat. good job.

xiv on Dec 06 '07 i always thought of it as the spinning beach ball of DOOM.
|
 |

|
 |
haha nice!
yeah in the mac lab, we call it the spinning beach ball and i always want to puncture it. |
|
polynothing on Dec 06 '07 XIV: most places I've worked for call it either the "spinning beachball of doom", or the "pinwheel of death" Which is funny, cuz wikipidea even sites both names.... :) Either way... pure evil!
|
 |
I have seen this WAY TOO MUCH lately!!! I have been using DreamWeaver and lots o' other apps... my poor Mac has to deal with all my shananigans! $5.
|
 |
hey yea, sweet halftones! -- i dont even have a mac and am still filled with dread.... 5!
|
 |
I didn't even know it had a name...I only just upgraded from OS9 where it was all black and white. This would make waiting even more fun, $5
|
 |
Like Brandon I don't have a Mac either and I had no idea what this was until now...
However I have experience the pinwheel of death working on Macs before. Great Job and Idea!!! |
 |
the gig of ram im getting for my G5 today should drastically reduce my 'pinwheel of death' time. *very excited*
sweet design. 4 |
 |
Ha, nice. $5
|
 |
coolio
|
|
Awesome shirt! I like the concept.
|
 |
Great use of halftones
|
 |
Hahahahaha...awesome!
|
 |
Rockslide on Dec 07 '07 Yeah, when it does that on my mac, I make it bounce around and off of stuff like a beachball, or do a power roll like Sonic the hedgehog.
|
 |
I hate that pinwheel bastard - 5$
|
 |
pretty ill...
|
 |
opifan64 on Dec 07 '07 Oh man, I see this too much. There must be something wrong with my Mac. Is it okay to just unplug the computer when this happens?
I hope so *cough* $5 |
 |
Nice! Print this NOW!!!! $5
|
|
polynothing on Dec 07 '07 Opifan: I'm pretty unsure, usually if it pinwheels for more than 5 minutes, I manually turn it off... damn pinwheel!
|
|
this makes me laugh because there have been so many times that damned pinwheel appears and tries to kill my computer!!
Cool idea! $5 |
 |
I LOVE this shirt because I hate that dang pinwheel of death because it always happens at the worst time. Good bye last 5 hours of work, hello $5 vote! PRINT!!!!
|
 |
jstumpenhorst on Dec 08 '07 i'm surprised this shirt doesn't have more comments! nice job!!
|
|
polynothing on Dec 08 '07 Thanks Jared!

I don't know much about Macs, so I just learned something.
When I first saw it I thought of the Punisher symbol ( the one on his chest ) mixed with candy or a lollipop. So those clueless about Macs are going to wonder what in the world is that symbol all about. |
|
polynothing on Dec 09 '07 Helo: true... This is pretty mac specific... So hopefully mac users can dig it!
|
 |
i wish the eyes and nose were knocked out to the color of the shirt. 3.
|
|
hahaha i love it! :D
the macs all have this and its so annoyinng! XD |
 |
Very fun to look at yet scary when your brain digests it for a bit. Awesome!
|
 |
alvarejo on Dec 09 '07 clever use of colors!!!!!!
|
 |
Ellsswhere on Dec 09 '07 this is ace... im thinking about a macbook pro, but pc's have worked for me so far, im scared of change, 5$
|
 |
i dont get it?
is this like a inside joke for people who have macs? like the colors though |
|
polynothing on Dec 09 '07 Gabriel,
It's definitely mac specific... "the pinwheel of death" or "beachball of doom" is a spinning Icon that goes on your screen usually to show that it's going to take more time to complete a task... but more commonly happens before a program freezes up. Thus the "of death" or "doom" added to the nickname. |
 |
beachball of doom...hahha. $5
|
 |
$5 but I think its to big. Smaller please.
|
 |
This made me laugh
$5 |
|
polynothing on Dec 10 '07 Transcom: agreed. I think it'd be best smaller on the shirt... So if it gets picked up for print, I'll make sure it's at least 1/3 smaller than shown placed above :) Thanks for the feedback!
|
|
i do love this shirt the way it is, but think it would look more like the mac pinwheel if the one color faded into the next rather than lines seperating them.
...just a thought. |
 |
Yup, a little smaller and it 's good
|
 |
Nice.

HAHA... my school gives everyone a MacBook for schooly stuff and you have no idea how many times a day I hear "Stupid spinning wheel of death..." being muttered at desks of students downloading the HUGE hw files our profs give us.
I love it. |
