If you’ve always wanted to be one of the cool kids, the Kuchofuku USB Air-Conditioned Shirt may be just the thing for you. The shirt has actual USB-powered fans built into its fabric, letting you plug in anytime you need to turn your personal thermostat down. The A/C shirt will cost you a cool $222, though, so think carefully before ordering.
Geek-o-meter:
You might as well go ahead and tape the “kick me” sign to the back of this yourself.

I think the Solar Backpack charger is a pretty neat piece of wearable green geek chic.

Don’t get too dependent. Most of this won’t work well at Rooster Rock park.

Your link on the home page goes to the Radio Shack swhuld not change it’s name page.
Not too bad for a tech site…..
Wait, no, fail….

@tron… but that’s one way to make money. every time you click next, the page loads anew and the website receives a new “impression” and the ads are delivered anew… etc.
Usability is often not the main concern of website publishers, when they have to make a living off of their site ^_^

Um….couldn’t they make it a little more fashionable? Great idea but really, I wouldn’t want to look like a fisherman all the time.

I love the Bluetooth device ring, so chic and functional.
