Animated WiFi detector t-shirt

October 8th, 2007 at 16:47 by Peter Jackson

Really cool or just way too geeky?  I’m thinking it would perhaps be cooler if it had a skull & crossbones that flashed in the presence of an unsecured network.

Life’s great priorities — human interaction and network access — seem to exist in perpetual tension, but those of you who know exactly where you stand might want to check out this WiFi-detector shirt, which will simultaneously inform passerby that a WiFi network is nearby and that they probably don’t need to speak to you. The detachable detector / display combo runs off three AAA batteries for “hours” — just long enough for you to alienate the locals before heading back to your parents’ basement. Scarily enough, it’s already out of stock, but ThinkGeek should have more in a couple weeks for $30.

Ooooo, I like! I also have about another 10 tees that I want from ThinkGeek since my last purchase though, so I think I'm going to be poor again real soon :(
