Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on January 1st, 2010
You can keep your neck snuggie and baby snuggie and space snuggie. Real ballers know that the Snuggle Suit is the be all and end all.
Not only is this actual product currently for sale, it's also 66% off at JC Penny. If you don't wish you had one of these to lounge away your New Year's hangover in right now, you're doing something wrong. Available in four colors and infinity style points. [Consumerist]
Psystar Sells T-Shirts Now, Seriously, T-Shirts [Psystar]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 28th, 2009
Remember Psystar, the hackintosh company that stood up to Apple (and lost)? While they can't sell you a PC running OS X anymore, they will sell you this $15 t-shirt. Oh how the mighty have fallen. [Psystar Thanks MacJedi!]
Undress a Woman Using Radio Frequencies [Nsfw]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 26th, 2009
A dress that gradually disappears as you get a magic ball near to it? Yaishplease. That's exactly what Daan Roosegaarde, V2 Lab, and Maartje Dijkstra have created, using a flexible plastic material and radio frequency technology. Very pretty too:
Called Intimacy, the dress' smart fabric reacts to variations in the electric current, smoothly changing its opacity until it gets completely transparent—and viceversa. The change is controlled by a ball, which has an RF tag that gets detected by circuitry in the dress' collar. On a related note, this is what happens to my underpants whenever my fiancée gets close to me, with no RF tag involved whatsoever. [Roosegaarde and v2 via Styleguru via Fashion Tech]
Naturally, Vogue’s Twitpic Spread Includes Barely Dressed Girls [Nsfw]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on December 5th, 2009
You know that the world has changed when a classic fashion magazine like Vogue Italia includes a spread that follows the layout of Twitpic. Well, actually, that's a lie, but I needed some excuse to publish this, ok?
Wait, wait, wait. WAIT. Is that girl actually doing her thing on the pooper? [Fashioncopious via BoingBoing]
Duct Tape Hoodie Is Basically Geek Chain Mail…Err, Geekier Chain Mail [Fashion]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on December 2nd, 2009
Duct tape, Man's greatest micro engineering accomplishment. It's strong, waterproof and it glows like some magical metal shark skin alloy. Why aren't we wearing this stuff?
Over at Instructables, one young visionary has shared his technique for weaving a hoodie from these godly adhesive strips. He says the resulting garment is quite warm and impervious to rain. And, if we might add, it's quite handy if you ever need to half-assedly fix something and you're too lazy to grab a roll of tape. [Instructables]
Wind-Sensitive LED Dandelion Dress Is Made for Pretty Night Fairies [Led]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on November 23rd, 2009
I like this dress embroidered with dandelion lights. Called Flare, it was created by designer Stijn Ossevoort. The LED flowers glow up gently when the wind or your breath touches them, causing much swooning and sighing in the process.
Less spectacular than the Galaxy Dress, but classier. [Fasioningtech via Bornrich]

Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on November 18th, 2009
These JSDF shades have apparently been endorsed by the Japanese military because they won't fracture even if struck at 106mph by a 6.5mm (0.3-inch) diameter object. Not quite bulletproof, but the picture looks cool.
The Japan Trend Shop also says the 2mm-thick lenses wouldn't shatter, even if a 500g 1.1-pound shaft of iron is dropped on them from 4 feet. You know, for those times when you escape the clinches of some evil mastermind at the last minute. I guess I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, but it still kinda sounds like they're just pulling numbers out of the air.
If you're in the market for a pair of super-rugged glasses, these puppies will only set you back $317. Yikes. [Japan Trend Shop via DVICE]
Vitruvian Voltron [Fashion]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on November 10th, 2009
If only Leonardo da Vinci had 1980s cartoons as his muse, it would be Voltron representing Man's innate tie to geometry and architecture. Live in that better world by purchasing this $18 t-shirt, or sniffing more Crayola. [ThinkGeek via RedFerret]
Space Invaders Autopsy T-Shirt [Fashion]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on November 10th, 2009
Mark showed you how Space Invaders really look like from the outside. Now it's time to get the scalpel and look for the three stomachs. For $18, you can play doctor too. [Threadless via Likecool]
