Put Some Bounce in your Step with Air Kicks Anti-Gravity Boots
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Wearables, Misc. Tech, Toys,
So you’ve always wanted a trampoline, but you grew up in the city or your parents basically knew better. Now’s your chance to make up for lost time (sorta) with Air Kicks Anti-Gravity Boots. Just strap them on “over any shoe” and bounce away. We keep picturing a pickup basketball game with everyone wearing these, but we digress. The Air-Kicks can be used indoors or out, so pick up some protective gear (please!), keep your health insurance card handy, and go out and create a bouncy, hi-energy dance routine with your new Kicks. Then, take your show on the road and win a million bucks on our guiltiest pleasure, “America’s Got Talent”. When you do, don’t forget to show us a little love. For ages 10 and over and available for $137 USD.

Want some relief from the scorching temps that have invaded the planet? Hammacher Schlemmer has the answer with its Insulated Cooling Cap. Featuring a patented Hydroweave system that utilizes the sun and “draws heat away from your head,” simply immerse it in water and it is said to evaporate the liquid the way that your sweat glands operate. It’s available in navy or khaki for $25.00. The funny thing is, we think we already created this concept, but we call it a cool shower without a towel.

Wear USB Mickey on Your Wrist
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Wearables, Misc. Tech, Storage, USB,
Displayed at the International Gift Expo in Tokyo this week is Yujin’s Mickey Mouse USB Flash “Memoring.” This bracelet holds 356MB and is made out of silicon rubber so that is flexible enough to wear, instead of having to add it to your keychain. We’re not exactly sure what makes it properly Disney however, because even though one of them comes in the official color of Minnie’s dress, we couldn’t find even a hint of the famous mouse’s persona. Still, it makes a very functional fashion statement.

Heart Rate Monitor is Like Second Skin
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Wearables, Misc. Tech, Science, Transportation,
Next week, the first Wearable Technologies Congress will be held in Munich. Some of the items include jackets that protect against extreme heat or cold and a solar shopping bag similar to the Solar Beach Tote we recently showed you. What really attracted our attention was the German beurer GmbH Beltless Heart Rate Monitor. Based on the impressive science known as plethysmography, a sensor measures light reflected by the bloodstream through your finger artery. We think it would be novel if we knew we were going to have a heart attack before we actually biked it up that steep hill ahead.

iPod Apparel, for Ladies Only
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Wearables, Portable Audio / Video,
So we’ve featured iPod-related apparel in the past, but mostly for men, such as belt buckles and suits. But now we’ve got a little sumthin’ sumthin’ for the ladies: a line of capris, mini skirts, jackets, shorts, boot leg pants and tanks, with a built-in pocket for your iPod or MP3 player, courtesy of Vickerey. iPod broken? The pocket lays flat while your buddy is being repaired. Prices range from $55 to $96 USD. As with our other obsessions—wacky USB-powered gadgets and unusual iPod docks—we can’t wait to see what’s next in the world of iPod apparel. Bra and panties, maybe?

Honor Your Gaming Past with the Pac-Man Belt
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Wearables, Video Games,
Similar to the gold cassette belt buckle, we bring you retro attire that is guaranteed to elicit wistful, nostalgic smiles from passersby. This time it’s the Pac-Man Belt, adjustable up to 42”, made of black canvas and trimmed in blue, with Inky, Pinky, Blinky and the oddly-named Clyde running all around the belt. But we’re wondering if all that even matters to hardcore fans of the game. Just looking at it makes us long for the 80’s, when it was all about putting quarters on the arcade machine to guarantee “we have next”. But the belt —and the game—is likely to find a whole new audience, thanks to the new Xbox 360 version, with new mazes to conquer - Pac-Man Championship Edition. Available for almost $20 USD.

The Purse Organizer Keeps Gadgets Handy
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Wearables,
If you’re a woman with a thing for gadgets (raising hand), your handbag can get a little, well, cluttered. Our iPod, cell phone, PSP or DS and our beloved-but-defunct Tapwave Zodiac have all fought for space amongst all the other stuff in our bag (make-up, magazines, wallet, etc.). Help has arrived with the Purse Organizer, which, when expanded, surrounds the perimeter of your handbag, and holds your gadgetry (or whatever) in six different pockets in a variety of sizes. Changing bags? Just roll up the Purse Organizer and it’s good to go. Available for $15 USD.

So we’ve already told you about iPod My Baby, cute tees and onesies that make your infant resemble a cute, giant iPod. Awww. Now comes Goo Goo, the aptly-named onesie for Google/internet/tech fanatics who love the world’s most ubiquitous search engine. Very cute (we especially love the “I’m Feeling Silly” button), we just hope your bundle of joy isn’t labeled a “geek” by the ruffian infants at Mommy and Me class.
