Computer Club World
The coolest merch goes global, on the coolest website.
We asked our community to share pictures wearing our merch across the globe. The result? Over 150 pins in 36 countries. And one, very sexy website.
The website
We really have to start with the website itself. Computer Club thrives on that sweet, sweet retro nostalgia. And we hadn't done anything with the Windows 98 aesthetic. But boy, did that escalate quickly.
Computer Club World is a working Windows OS, complete with booting screen, windowing, and even a Winamp player. And Clippy, of course.
Trust me, you really want to visit this gem:

Some highlights
Some two summers into its existence, people have posted so many cool pictures (which are being cross-posted to our forum) from so many different locations.
Here are a few highlights.
Go far
Some people went far, literally. All the way up north, to Iceland. Or southwards, to Melbourne, Australia, or Kaapstad, South-Africa. Eline rode our Computer Club cap all the way into the Kyrgyzstan mountains, horseback.
Go famous
Reppin' Computer Club at famous places all around the world. The Louvre, Yucatan, the Sydney Opera House, Brooklyn Bridge, the Burj Khalifa, the Vatican, and The Great Wall.
Get together
It wouldn't be the first time Computer Clubbers spot each other in the wild. At festivals like Rock Werchter, Primavera Sound, or Tomorrowland (Summer and Winter). At conferences like Web Summit, and even the Paris Olympics. Bonus points for Yves for wearing our Winamp hat at Loveland.
Get busy
Some people do crazy things while wearing our merch. Running an ultra trail, or an Ironman. As part of their carnival outfit, or while having high tea at the Bridgerton corner at Liberty, London. And how about representing Computer Club while DJ'ing, on Bruzz radio or at the We Can Dance festival.
Cute
Teach them young.
Cool
Some places are just cool. Webmaster Diewy at CERN, the birth place of the web. Or Computer Club in Osaka and Tokyo.
Or just ... pretty
Some pictures are just taken at very pretty locations.
Team Computer Club World
This project is the perfect example of an idea that took on a life of its own.
All thanks to this amazing crew: Pieterjan, Wim, and Bart (who also made Clubintosh for the Playdate).
If you're interested in how it was made, the website has a readme file (because of course it does).
Putting the Club in Computer Club
Nearly 7 years into Computer Club, we've recorded over 350 podcasts and published over 220 newsletters. That's cool.
Our community? That's even cooler.
The meetups, our old-school forum.
And, in this case:
- Over 1400 webshop orders shipped.
- And crazy projects like Computer Club World.
It's what really keeps me going.
