For those into creating clothes that light up or jewelry that pulses with different light patterns, you will be pleased to know that the Arduino board has been down sized to the Arduino Nano.

I’ve jokingly heard of technosexuals, people in love with their technology, but this is unbelievable.  One NYU grad student has gone so far as to invent a virtual girlfriend.

A picture may be worth a 1000 words and Madonna made wearing your underwear on the outside fashionable, but some things are still difficult to imagine.  A new bustier design has arrived that includes solar panels and a LEDs.

The nubrella is certainly a new design for umbrellas.  The question is, is it a better one?  It definitely manages to keep the rain off of your head and shoulders but it looks as if it would then funnel it right on down to the lower half of your body.

Worried about not being happy enough?  Need a lift from the doldrums?  Want to escape despair?  Well the Robometer maybe just what you need.  It will sense your mood and help you get happy. 

Well, desperation is the mother (father?) of invention, and this “vehicle” definitely is such an example. An eight seater bike, that has 3 solar panels on top and crazy little engine on back. It somewhat resembles the “surrey with the fringe on top” from Oklahoma.

These pants are an example of “oops, forgot where the line was” geek fashion. As you can see, a Bluetooth computer keyboard has been embedded in the front of the pants with a back pocket dedicated to toting the geek’s favorite mouse. Speakers are included in the knees. And since these pants were obviously created by a male, the joy stick is, unbelievably enough, just behind the zipper of the fly. I would imagine that this might require a certain agility to keep it from getting wet on occasion but we won’t think too hard about that. The wealth of bad jokes that the joy stick and keyboard placement engender are surely coming unbidden to mind.

Geek jewelry is nothing new.  Earrings, cufflinks, lapel pins, and more have been around for a while.  These wedding rings created by Jana Brevick, with CAT 5 connectors, are too much. 

Oh Babar, your species has fallen so far.  Your sophistication and charm set the standard for the world’s vision of anthropomorphic elephants everywhere.  Now the blue robot elephant has arrived and has gone where you were too sophisticated to go - the local men’s room.

Why do I feel that we have “revenge of the chickens” happening with this Ipod cover?  Sure, they must hate those cows who do the “Eat more Chiken” campaign over at a certain fast food chicken eatery, but this is ridiculous.
