Based on the info in this Nielsen page,
(http://www.useit.com/about/nographics.html)
the new T-shirt design should be

fuck -> jakob nielsen

rather than
fuck: jakob nielsen

because "The arrows seem to be slightly easier
to understand as an indication of moving deeper
and deeper..." we wouldn't want anyone to be
confused and think that the colons indicate
alternative choices on the same level. ;)

janel
(not a jakob-basher, just another non-conforming
artist-type with >3k pages. sorry jake.)

There must be a balance between creativity and usability.
(my own dos pesos)
