The first batch of Ruby Stuff left jaws dropping and had developers all over the world stepping through the site in slow motion to take it all in. Now the selection of personal peripherals has been updated to

include Rails T-shirts and coffee mugs.

more. Money raised from Ruby Stuff helps pay for ruby-doc.org and rubyxml.com

As the source graphics for the Rails logo were so generously made available by the ever-hepful Rails community, I've made available the png files used for the shirts and mugs here.

And a word of thanks to Bill Katz, who also has created a Rails CafePress shop, and has encouraged others to do the same:

I will happily share the graphic files with anyone who wants to tweak the "Ruby on Rails" label. If you have a lot of ideas, you can setup your own CafePress shop...

Unlike RubyStuff, Bill's shop does not currently add any markup above the base CafeShop price, though Bill has said that this may change, with the idea of "funneling markups to some Rails community slush fund." I would encourage this, to help garner more funds for Ruby activity. So long as people are shelling out for the goods, somebody other than CafePress should be getting a slice.

Folks might also be interested to know that CafePress allows anyone to create their own one-off products, without the need of opening a shop, simply by uploading the graphics. (Unsurprisingly, those who run CafePress shops are less than thrilled with this, but that's indeed how it is.)
