And since you already like to riff on everyone and everything, these Mystery Science Theater 3000 glasses should be a perfect fit. Hit the link for a DIY template. [Thingiverse via Make]

<![CDATA[Duct Tape Hoodie Is Basically Geek Chain Mail...Err, Geekier Chain Mail]]> 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]

<![CDATA[How To Make Any Pair Of Gloves Work With a Touchscreen]]> There are commercial gloves designed to work with touchscreens, but you can achieve the same functionality with your current pair of gloves using a needle and some conductive thread.

The iPhone screen is capacative, meaning that it requires your finger to complete a circuit in order to work. So, by sewing some conductive thread in small patches on the fingers of your gloves (a circle of about 1/4" or 6mm in diameter is recommended) and larger patches on the inside area of the fingertip, you should be able to use your touchscreen with an acceptable degree of accuracy.

Still, I have to imagine that this modification would be useless on anything other than tight-fitting gloves. The thick gloves that actually keep your hands warm would be far too bulky. [Instructables via Lifehacker]

<![CDATA[Beautiful Dress Made Out Of 24,000 LEDs]]> 24,000 full-color, super-thin LEDs, 4,000 Swarovski crystals, and enough iPod batteries to keep everything glowing for about an hour. This picture doesn't do the Galaxy Dress justice, but the video comes close.

This gorgeous thing was designed by Francesca Rosella and Ryan Genz and they say that it's the "the largest wearable display in the world." I don't know if that's true or not, but I do know that I wanted to cry when I read that the dress went straight from the sewing room to the museum mannequin, without ever being worn by a real woman.

<![CDATA[This Is No Ordinary Jacket]]> In reality, the Scottevest/SeV Pack Windbreaker doesn't look as cool as in this—fake—X-ray image, but it packs a lot of nice features for gadget lovers, including a clear, touch-sensitive pockets, and more pockets than Batman's suit.

Seventeen of them, some deep, some with magnetic closures. It also has a weight management system which, according to the manufacturer, is supposed to balance the weight from all the pieces of plastic and silicon you carry around. The pockets inside are made of clear touch fabric, which according to the manufacturer, allows you to see and control your touchscreen devices without having to take them out.

Through the jacket there are conducts that allow you to install cables and earbuds, so there's nothing hanging out except your legs. [Scottevest]

<![CDATA[Sonic Fabric Neckties Are Actually Playable]]> The music may be horrible, but if you rub a tape head over these ties you can actually hear jumbled sound collages recorded from the NYC metro system. This is possible because the ties are 50% audio cassette tape.

If you have $90 to spend on one of the ties, and you are willing to sacrifice an old Walkman for the project, you can make this a fixture of your formal wardrobe. Of course, walking around with a broken Walkman asking every one to rub you with it is not recommended. [Supermarket via Gadget Lab]

<![CDATA[Eye Poking Hummingbird Feeder Helmet Is An Adrenaline Rush For Bird Watchers]]> Generally speaking, bird watching doesn't provide many death defying thrills. All that is about to change with the hummingbird feeder helmet.

If you have ever seen a hummingbird up close, you should know that long beaks and wings flapping up to 80 times per second is not something you want anywhere near your eyes. But that is exactly what happens with the helmet. After leaving it outside for a period of time for hummingbirds to grow accustomed to, you should be able to coax the birds to feed from a tube located right between your eyes. Going cross-eyed was never so much fun! Believe it or not, you can actually get in on this action for $80. [eye2eye via Craziest Gadgets via Gearfuse]

<![CDATA[DNA-Inspired Closet Is As Space-Efficient As It's Twisted and Curvy]]> Irina Alexandru's design is more of a coat hanger than a closet, but it's intended to allow for the maximum amount of clothing hangers in the smallest amount of space. I just plain like the curvy double helix design.

For those who are having flashbacks to biology class: Yes, a double-helix is actually nature's clever way of squeezing a heck of a lot of genetic information into a tiny coiled pattern. It's somehow almost fitting that the same design would make for efficient clothing storage, too. [Core77]

<![CDATA[A Truck Driver's Baseball Cap Could Be The Difference Between Life and Death]]> The new SmartCap could be the only thing that saves you from being hosed out of the grill of a semi. Originally designed for miners, the hat monitors a driver's brain waves for signs of fatigue.

If the hat determines the driver's condition to be risky, it relays a warning signal to a computer screen in the cab (and possibly cellphones as the image above illustrates) recommending rest. Apparently, trials of the hat are being credited with reducing fatalities for drivers at CRC Mining from 40 in 2007 to 27 in 2008. Now CRC is hoping that their technology can be made available to all drivers sometime in the near future. [Metro]

<![CDATA[T-Shirt States the Painfully Obvious]]> We cannot defeat the aliens without robots, but robots will eventually turn on us. It's a paradox, friends. Enjoy that burn in your head; it's called "thinking" (though "wasting time" is also applicable here). $40. [Cuppa via FashionablyGeek]

<![CDATA[Master Chief Hoodie Thwarts Cool Fall Breeze]]> Man's greatest triumphs are often his smallest. You may not live to defeat those purple dudes and kinda tannish green dudes that Master Chief pwnd through his Halo franchise, but you can absolutely dominate temperatures ranging down to 47-degrees Fahrenheit.

The Master Chief hoodie is Ecko's latest geeksploitation jacket. It's $88 and vaguely resembles Spartan power armor, in a nylon and stickers kind of way. But if you aren't diving through the vacuum of space through a planet's atmosphere to land without a parachute or whatever, then this hoodie will serve you just fine. All Master Chief ever wanted, really, was to feel the warm embrace of semi-permeable textiles. [Ecko via technabob via DVICE]

The fight was not over technological prowess, public mind share or even athleticism (obviously), but for department store clothing supremacy. [Live Journal - Thanks, Anna]

<![CDATA[Robot Jordan's Air Junk Dunk Shoes]]> Air Jordan's for the year 2050. On pre-order now. Actually, these circuit board shoes are a piece of art created by Gabriel Dishaw.

This piece was a continuation of my previous piece JUNK DUNK. I wanted to attempt this approach again, with a more refined and detailed outcome. I used very little wire and more glue to keep the piece more clean, and less bulky. I also added new details, a hinged tongue and nike logo's on both the tongue and back of the shoe. On previous models I used a real nike sole to build of off. With this piece I started from scratch and build the sole from circuit boards.

Yeah, but does all of this circuitry actually make me jump like Jordan? I thought not. Besides, this doesn't look like it would offer any arch support. [Gabriel Dishaw via Likecool]

<![CDATA[That's Right Folks, This Beautiful Laptop Burqa Can Be Yours for Just $35]]> Burqa: a robe worn by some Muslim women in public (mostly Afghanistan). But it's not some creepy cloak that connects to your hat so you can do who-knows-what on your laptop in public.

The Craigslist pitch is classic:

Dont bother with those anti glare filters that do not work . Stop those pesky peekers who cant seem to mind their own busniess while your working on your screen…. Trend setters says Laptop Burka is the newest hot ticket on the market today ! Own yours today .Patent Pending…

Real or not, +1 for creepy ingenuity. [Craigslist]

<![CDATA[The Centerfold T-Shirt Works Exactly as Advertised]]> Thousands of years of clothing technology have culminated to this one moment, a critical crossroads of fabric and fapping.

The Centerfold T-Shirt, available soon for $30, displays Miss April in 1/4 splendor—that is, until you undo two buttons to spew forth a tapestry of nudity fit for a king (or just a person with very little taste and/or restraint). Available soon in a limited edition run of just 100 shirts, it's hard to remember the status of fashion before this watershed moment in textiles—admittedly because we hadn't been paying this close of attention.
