Many of these designs were originally available at our flagship site, SmartAssProducts.com. We started a new site because one of our designs, There are 10 kinds of people: Those who understand binary and those who don't, was going to be printed in a technology textbook, and SmartASSProducts.com in the attribution line just wasn't appropriate. So GroovyGearShop.com was born--and attributed in the textbook.
