I Hear I Have a Lot of Shirts

A bit of context for this post: I have been living and working in Beijing since late August.

I had a conversation the other day with a co-worker who I'll call Z:

Z: Wow, Matt, you have so many shirts!
Me: Um ... what? I'm wearing a t-shirt today, and that's not exactly rare....
Z: I know, but you wear a new shirt every day!
Me: (puzzled expression)
Z (reassuringly): I think that's really cool!

I had realized that a lot of the other engineers around the office will wear the same shirt for a few days at a time. One theory I've heard is that shirt re-wearing is a continuation of a thriftiness instilled in college through shower and laundry rationing. Whatever the reason, I don't mind; it's not like anyone smells bad.

But I still didn't expect simply changing shirts to get noticed.

Inspired by The Amazing Rolo's Wii Loop Machine, I thought I'd take a stab at using the Wii as a loop controller myself. I've taken a slightly more direct approach, using the controllers like drumsticks. If you're interested, take a look! All comments, suggestions, and bug reports appreciated.
