mouth keppe is and made his newest yarmulke a gadget itself. It is loaded with LEDs that scroll his name—and presumably messages to the man upstairs, or anything else he can dream up. I have one pressing question: Does he turn it off on Friday night? [Avi Greengart]

Official Indiana Jones Fedora Available Now For Nerds Everywhere
The reason that the official Indiana Jones Fedora is available on Think Geek is that only geeks think that they can pull off wearing a fedora in the year 2008. The only fedora you (us) nerds should stick to is Red Hat's version, leaving Indiana Jones' to the still handsome but greying Harrison Ford. If you really do want to pick up your own version for some down-home sexy play, it's $99. Everything's in stock except for X-Large and XX-Large, further proving our point that only overweight nerds will buy and wear this outdoors. [Think Geek]

2CLight Hat: Solar-Powered Handsfree Lighting at Night
At first glance at the 2CLight cap you'd think "oh come on... who'd use that?" — but then you'd think about fishermen and other outdoorsy-types who'd benefit from some hands-free lighting, and maybe you'd reconsider. Its flexible solar cell charges a small battery up during the day, and gives out about 2 hours of max-brightness from the twin LEDs in the brim, or 36 hours at low setting. According to the website blurb it's "not a cap with lights," ohoho no: it's a "tightly integrated, highly advanced, microprocessor controlled solar lighting technology" system. Hmm. So, this cap with lights is available in three color schemes for $35. [2CLight via Talk2MyShirt]

Pong Helmet Designed for Idiots, People Who Like Pong
If you are retarded and need to wear a helmet around to keep that noggin of yours safe, you might as well make it entertaining for others around you. I guess. I'm not really sure what other uses there are for this except perhaps as a way for construction workers to pass time on their lunch breaks. In any case, this is a hard hat with an LED display on the front that plays Pong and displays messages for some reason. Of course! [Instructables]

Muttering Hat Amplifies the Voices Inside Your Head
Can't get rid of the voices inside of your head? Well, why not make them louder (and look like a mental patient in the process). Created by Kate Hartman, the Muttering Hat is a goofy-looking hat made up of hacked MP3 players, headphones, and microphones. One form of the hat lets you listen to pre-recorded mumblings as you go about your day-to-day tasks. (Cause you know, listening to music is so boring). The other version, puts your inner thoughts on speakerphone, so as you mumble to yourself, anyone near you can strap off one of the hat's giant ear balls and listen in on what you're saying. In other words, you'll never be able to silently judge someone again. And that in itself is reason enough to pass on this hat. More »

Solar Radio Visor: For Dorktastic Martians Only
What could be more practical than a Solar AM/FM Radio Visor powered by the sun? It just makes sense: a visor is supposed to keep the sun out of your eyes, and while it's doing so, it sucks up all that solar energy it's blocking from your delicate peepers. More »

iPod Shuffle Beanie
As an avid iPod fan and beanie wearer I shall give this product a seal of approval. This acrylic beanie stores the Shuffle and the cords neatly inside. And because the beanie will cover the ears of most wearers, then you will get a barrage of people talking to you without knowing you can't hear them. I love it when that happens. It is available in multiple colors for $22 through Pakatun. More »

Scary, But Not Fun Scary
The Taiko no Tasujin Hat is frightening in a way that it's makers certainly did not intend. Even on Halloween, there's something positively nightmarish about a head enveloped by a giant plushy eye, and the look on this gentleman's face only confirms one's suspicion that that wearing one will make you go quite mad.
