@Michael: I bet a sticker would fit fine on those mugs. The stickers are only 1 inch tall, so they're pretty good at dealing with a small amount of curvature. If you do decide to make an MO mug this way, it's a good idea to put some clear packing tape over it so you can wash it without worrying about the sticker.

@cmcleman, VP: If you want, I can sign up for some third-party website that produces swag, like cafepress or zazzle, but their stuff isn't cheap ... I don't think I'd pay $25 for a t-shirt. As for stickers, you're welcome to send me* a self-addressed stamped envelope and I'll send you half a dozen stickers (or more if you really want). You can also make the stickers yourself the same way I do: find a color printer, some sticker paper, a paper cutter, and print this pdf.

Edit: MO zazzle store at http://www.zazzle.com/mathoverflow*. 10% of the price gets credited to my account (more if you include the star in the preceding URL). If this credit ever exceeds $25, they'll send me a check which I'll use to cover the costs of domain registration ($30/yr), Scott's hosting costs for meta/MathJax ($?/mo), and making stickers ($20/400 stickers?).

As you can see they are not cylindrical. I'm pretty sure they're not even developable surfaces, so a sticker would have to be bent a bit, but I don't remember the details of that and my copy of "baby do Carmo" is three thousand miles from me.

It appears that placing a single order is more than double the price you've mentioned (even excluding S&H), plus I won't get a warm fuzzy feeling that I "support" MO in this way. As for the versatility of MO stickers, I agree, but that still wouldn't justify a plane trip to Berkeley.

I would probably buy a mug. (Or put a sticker on an existing mug, but my existing mugs are oddly shaped so a sticker probably wouldn't work.)

The main reasons I don't produce more MO stuff are that I have to buy, store, and sell it, none of which I have much interest in. On top of that, there's my sharp business sense (I think I've given away about as many t-shirts as I've sold). I don't have any special means of production, so it's probably easier for you to place an order directly (perhaps with a handful of other people) than to go through me. I got the shirts through VistaPrint, but there are lots of other swag sites.

Note that MO stickers are extremely versatile. Put an MO sticker on a mug: BAM! MO mug. MO sticker on your ears: BAM! MO earrings. MO sticker on the dead mouse outside your door: BAM! MO mouse mat.

I found another 30 or so of the stickers at home. I'll bring them in tomorrow and leave them outside my office (1044). You're welcome to take a few. Once I make some more, I'll put them out by the elevators again. I also have some MO t-shirts for $7 (see my profile picture), but I'm down to mediums and smalls (maybe even just mediums).

You can also make your own MO stuff if you want.
