Jeff was streaming live for me this morning, and I happened to notice a very cool T-shirt he was wearing. It’s definitely the geekiest T-shirt on the planet. I had to get him on a video to show it off.
This T-shirt is just the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Unfortunately, I don’t think Ponzi will let me wear one out in public. But a guy can dream, right?
The Wi-Fi Detector Shirt from ThinkGeek is a hot new commodity. In their own words:
Here at ThinkGeek we’re pretty lazy when it comes to technology. We expect our gadgets to do all the busywork while we focus on the high level important tasks like reading blogs. That’s why we hate to have to crack open our laptops just to see if there is any wi-fi internet access about… and keychain wi-fi detectors, we would have to actually remove them from our pockets to look at them. But now thanks to the ingenious ThinkGeek robot monkeys you can display the current wi-fi signal strength to yourself and everyone around you with this stylish Wi-Fi Detector Shirt. The glowing bars on the front of the shirt dynamically change as the surrounding wi-fi signal strength fluctuates. Finally you can get the attention you deserve as others bow to you as their reverential wi-fi god, while geeky chicks swoon at your presence. You can thank us later.
According to Jeff, Mandy’s mom saw the T-shirt on the television news. She showed it to Mandy, who then ordered one for herself and one for Jeff. Jeff put his on as soon as it arrived in the mail to show it off. If you see in the video, he has five bars lit up on either side of the shirt. That means he is near a very strong wireless signal. He said when he went to his kitchen for a snack, the number of bars on the shirt decreased.
The shirt takes three AAA batteries, and velcro’s to the shirt. You simply take it off in order to wash the shirt. While it’s not the most comfortable thing you’ll ever wear, it’s quite possibly the coolest.
I wonder what other geeky things I could velcro to a T-shirt?
