@Arnbeg Some people man. Entitled Americans think they can sue like they do in their country.

@PontistGirl It’s on my bucket list!

There’s something magical about Loch Lomond Scotland
on a misty day.

Cool air, quiet waters and mountains fading into the clouds.

Same brief. Same prompt. Same edits.
Claude Code Sonnet 5 Ultracode, Gemini 3.7 Flash in Antigravity, and Lovable. One campaign page for a Gaelic t-shirt drop on @ARTTEESHOW.

There's a clear winner, and not for the reason I expected.

Sonnet 5 set the page headline in the same case and weight as the print on the actual shirt.
Nobody asked it to. It looked at the product and matched it. Gemini used a poster face instead. Good typography, wrong call. Page and shirt looked like two different projects.

Gemini won on engineering though. It built a preview toolbar into the page. Device toggles, a reduced-motion simulator, and a switch between the empty and populated states of the gallery. I didn't ask for that either. It'll save me hours on every page after this one.

So Gemini built the better tool and Claude built the better page. If I could only keep one it's Claude, because taste is harder to prompt for than a device toggle.

The page is for Dè Tha Dol?
Gaelic for "what's going on", the greeting that opens every conversation out here in the Outer Hebrides. The remaster drops tomorrow. The page runs a contest. Film yourself saying it and you're in the draw for one.

@AmirMushich asked what I thought of Sonnet 5 after his Gemini Flash build. That's the answer. His post is what got me testing both.

Dè Tha Dol?

When I moved to the Outer Hebrides, I started learning Gaelic. It became a part of my life here, and eventually I wanted to put some of that experience into @ARTTEESHOW.

This was the first Gaelic tee I made.
“Dè Tha Dol?” is a simple question you hear around here. Essentially, what’s going on? or how are things?
I put those three words on a tee because I liked the idea of people who didn't recognise them asking exactly that: “What does that mean?”

And it happened. More than I expected.
That was the whole point. A little piece of Gaelic on a T-shirt that could start a conversation.

The original drop is now on sale until it’s gone.

Something heavier is coming to take its place. When the remaster lands, this version will be archived for good, in The Vault.

So if you've been thinking about getting the original, this is your last chance to own the one that started it.

The original Dè Tha Dol? Tee is reduced until it goes.

Three words in Gaelic on a tee, made so people would ask what it meant.

Enough of them did that there's now a heavier version coming.

When that lands, this one is archived.

Grace.

First in, last out. Twenty years behind the same counter, and she has never once been late.

THE COUNTER.

Coming September 2026.
