]]> <![CDATA[E-Paper Slap Bracelets: Like the 80's...Except Different]]> I like thinking big. Fat chicks need love too. But I'm gonna need a bigger bracelet.

_woozzy_

]]> <![CDATA[E-Paper Slap Bracelets: Like the 80's...Except Different]]> a hypothetical feature set is missing from this hypothetical wonder-machine. Indestructible, anti-scratch, anti-smudge, anti-dent "glass". Everyone here would hear the world's loudest "DOH!" when I accidentally hit my wrist against a counter's edge or door frame...

spring steel if i remember correctly what it looked like. when straightened, same curved shape as your tape measure .

Of course this would be an advantage in this case.

]]> <![CDATA[E-Paper Slap Bracelets: Like the 80's...Except Different]]> This needs to be made NOW, not next gen, not next year, not even tomorrow, I NEED THIS NOW!
Even if this were just the watch it would be sweet! Great concept!

]]> <![CDATA[E-Paper Slap Bracelets: Like the 80's...Except Different]]> I remember these things! Yea, they used to cut the hell out of your wrists if you wore them too long. Seriously, like inside, was like a long, jagged strip of circulation cutting, skin breaking aluminum.

But would I get one that could talk back, shoot a face reconstructing lazer, double as a comm. device, and let me play tetris? Hell yea! Either that or a Finglonger.

Oh, wouldn't it be nice :)

But really, the most obvious use has been overlooked. When this thing has color capabilty it can become a Mood Bracelet!

]]> <![CDATA[E-Paper Slap Bracelets: Like the 80's...Except Different]]> @someToast: Well, they do presume that I want to wear pictures of some black dude on my wrist. That's fairly unrealistic.

]]> <![CDATA[E-Paper Slap Bracelets: Like the 80's...Except Different]]> Wow, slap bracelets....... that's one of those fads that I had completely forgotten about until this post. But now that I think about it I do remember everybody having them, along with their hypercolor t-shirts.

]]> <![CDATA[E-Paper Slap Bracelets: Like the 80's...Except Different]]> Even if the first one's are just black and white, they will sell. I'd love something like this to have a useful purpose like in hospitals, so that it could boldly state allergies to medications, etc...

]]> <![CDATA[E-Paper Slap Bracelets: Like the 80's...Except Different]]> Hmm.

No neon colors and geometric patterns?

What kind of slap bracelet is this anyway?

]]> <![CDATA[E-Paper Slap Bracelets: Like the 80's...Except Different]]> A battery that can be recharged using kinetic energy?! Come on! That's being realistic!

This bracelet needs to be powered by a cold fusion energy source that can connect to your house and keep the porch lights on in the event of blackouts.

Yanko... you're slipping.

]]> <![CDATA[E-Paper Slap Bracelets: Like the 80's...Except Different]]> I would program it to display serrated edges so that there's a legitimate reason as to why my wrists are bleeding

]]> <![CDATA[E-Paper Slap Bracelets: Like the 80's...Except Different]]> This reminds me of my flying submarine that's small enough to fit in my garage and runs on candy and farts.
Of course it's wildly impractical, it doesn't exist and couldn't ever be built, but maybe if I say I'm a designer and call it a concept I'll get some free publicity.

]]> <![CDATA[E-Paper Slap Bracelets: Like the 80's...Except Different]]> Even without the multimedia functions this would be awesome as a watch or wearable digital picture frame. Want. Now please.

]]> <![CDATA[E-Paper Slap Bracelets: Like the 80's...Except Different]]> While we're dreaming... Let's also give it a GPS map-display, a clock, a thermometer, an emergency beacon locator, and a set of "you are not Morg or Eymorg" pain/delight giving buttons.
