Here's a shirt that's pretty useful, no matter how geeky it is.
If you've never been to thinkgeek.com, you should go. It's a freakishly cool site that sells geeky items. This time, though, they've outdone themselves with the Wi-Fi signal shirt.
See the picture? I couldn't capture the animation, but the signals on the sides light up when you are near a Wi-Fi hotspot. So, if you really like using the Wi-Fi Music Store on your iPhone, put this baby on and take a good look at yourself. You'll know when the time is right to download.
Directly from thinkgeek.com, here's what you get with your purchase:
*Glowing animated shirt dynamically displays the current wi-fi signal strength.
*Shows signal strength for 802.11b or 802.11g
*Black 100% cotton
*Animated decal is removable (with hook and loop fasteners) for easy washing
*Battery pack concealed in small pocket sewn inside shirt
*Runs for hours off three AAA batteries (not included)
There's even washing instructions.
The site says the shirt goes for $29.99 and will be available in 1 to 3 weeks.
If you've seen the new CBS show "Big Bang Theory," this is the kind of shirt I can see the characters wearing.
Check it out for yourself at thinkgeek.com
Anyone out there who happens to get this, please let me know. I'd love a picture of you with your iPhone in your Wi-Fi detector shirt for the gallery.
Thanks for calling.
