In an effort to make room for new merchandise, TheOneRing.net is going to retire select styles of t-shirts currently on sale. We have a lot of cool things in the works, so next Friday is the final day that some shirts will be available.
We get a lot of E-mail asking us if older shirt styles will ever be available again and so we are warning fans now that as of next Friday, April 3, the “Evil Wizard” shirts will be taken out of circulation. Currently, these shirts are available in black and steel blue in sizes small through extra large ($20) and in double extra large ($25). This will help us make other shirt styles and merchandise available, some of which have been suggested by fans. Thanks to all who have supported TORn by purchasing and wearing our official gear. If you haven’t visited our shirt shop yet, what are you waiting for? [Shop]

In the last chapter we discussed from The Hobbit, Tolkien makes his
feelings concerning Goblins, and the machines and devices they are
responsible for, quite clear. In The Lord of the Rings we are treated to more of the authors dislike of machinery. Here we find the fallen wizard Saruman, who tinkers in explosive devices and has a ‘mind of wheels and metal’.[More]

How does Tolkien use the agents of evil to get across his feelings and
opinions about machinery? Is there a specific type of machinery that
Tolkien singles out? How does the One Ring relate to all of this? Come
join us in #thehalloffire as we discuss Tolkien and technology.
