It’s awesome to look way back and see the origin of the community. MATLAB Central emerged as an extension to the vibrant MTLAB Usenet newgroup. The site launched with a coding content and now 20 years later, we are celebrating our 20th anniversary with a coding contest!

MATLAB Central Back In 2001

The coding contest is all about using 280 characters or less of MATLAB code to show off an interesting and beautiful image. We will be displaying all of the images allowing folks to remix the code and make new ones. As part of the celebration, MathWorks will be donating up to $20,000 to the humanitarian aid organization, Direct Relief, based on participation. Along with the support of Direct Relief, we will be giving winners a custom MathWorks shirt. I WANT THIS SHIRT!

I guess the whole current generation of noobs will know what I mean when they are sitting in their job interview, and the interviewer asks them about that YouTube video…

If you ever go to a gaming convention you will notice all of the ironic t-shirts everyone wears. For example, the overweight guy wearing a small Supperman t-shirt. Each year more and more t-shirt vendors invade the exhibit hall at Gen Con.

If you know me, you know that I just had to create a bunch of sarcastic, novelty shirts. I just can’t not do it. So in 2006 I made up a bunch of shirts. I sold a few, mostly it was a waste of time. A few survived and I gave them out to my friends for Gen Con 2006. One in particular was a shirt for The Dungeoneering Dad that read, “My other shirt is a v-neck”. Looks like TDD gave it away…

Today, I find that exact shirt on a website called “toomanytshirts.com” – a site where “a random dude from Pittsburgh” wears and photographs a different t-shirt every day.

It's In Here Somewhere...

That was a pleasant surprise to see the old shirt still making its rounds with my trademark bar code on the sleeve. I completely forgot about the two weeks I was “T-shirt Hans”.

Here are some of my other more popular (less popular) t-shirt slogans:

    • Rage Against the Washing Machine
    • Got Rhetorical Questions?
    • I believe in God and Aliens
    • 3 out of 5 dentists agree 60% of the time
    • Community Chest
    • I hate Slogans
    • Political Statement
    • I am case-Sensitive
    • I’m the man from Nantucket
    • Ask me about today’s specials
    • I hate scallions
    • My favorite font is Ironic Sans
