T-Shirt bears quote from Jobs' Stanford Speech
Steve Jobs gave the graduation commencement address at Stanford University earlier this summer [video here]. He ended his remarks with this simple bit of advice for the graduates: "Stay hungry, stay foolish." When the CEO of such major corporations as Apple and Pixar offers some free advice, people are apt to take it. Or at least, print it on a T-shirt. Frosty Place has done the latter. I can't find any retail information (anyone want to translate the page for us?), but this could make a good gift for the Apple addict in your family.Thanks, BC!

The quote "stay hungry,stay foolish" was on the back cover of the book "Whole Earth Epilog" published in 1974.
