It's Been A While...

Dear Diary,

It really has been a while since I posted an entry on the site.  Life tends to get in the way sometimes.  Also, circumstances in life can change things.

I started this site because I wanted to STEM Aloha Shirts in the world, and to have something physical that I created, and not just something digital that could be wiped away with a strong magnet.

And it happened.  I launched this site almost 3 years ago, and I couldn't have been more proud.  It's something I actually accomplished!  And I've been grateful to my customers for keeping me going.  I'm truly thankful for their kindness and support.

But things have changed in the last few months...

With all of the things that have been occurring recently with tariffs and people struggling to pay for necessities, I've come to a crossroads.  It's become more difficult with costs, and inconsistent delivery times, due to holds on overseas shipments.  Some of my partners are overseas, or if they're based in the US, they use materials from overseas.  I just can't justify charging people more for items that are "nice to have's" and not "need to have's." 

It's been a very difficult decision, but I've decided to shutter the doors on this site.

I love that I've been able to do this.  I've been able to create, and share these products with others, but know that in the coming months and years, my focus is going to be needed elsewhere.

If you still want to get something, you have until Pi Day, March 14th, 2025.  After that, the site is closing.  I may reopen it in the future, if things change.  We're going to have to see what happens.

In the meantime, I want to thank all of you who supported me, and shared my love of STEM.  I also want to say that no matter what happens, I will always support STEM, Truth, and Justice, for EVERYONE.

Thank you.

John G.
