Wi-Fi Detector Shirt ... for the fashion geek

ThinkGeek just made it easy for wireless geeks the world over. Too lazy to bust out the laptop to see if wi-fi access is available? No prob - as long as you remembered to wear your handy-dandy Wi-Fi Detector Shirt.

That's right.

The glowing bars on the front of the shirt dynamically change as the surrounding wi-fi signal strength fluctuates.

In the words of the ThinkGeek marketeers:

Finally you can get the attention you deserve as others bow to you as their reverential wi-fi god, while geeky chicks swoon at your presence.

Uh, yeah. Anyway, as campy as it is, I'd like to get one of these for my geek recruiting friends for Christmas. They'll love it, won't they?

Whether it's Frisco or Cluj-Napoca, it's still Starbucks 'n Wi-Fi

I posted this morning from my local Starbucks and paid tribute to my buddy Dan Berte in Romania.

Not many people know more about the world of wireless and caffeine than Dan, so it was only fitting to tip my Venti cup his direction.

Then, I'll be darned if he didn't take an almost exact picture of his laptop and Starbucks cup, from his favorite sippin' hole in Romania, and shoot it back my way!

Dan, it almost feels like I'm right there with you talkin' about the pros and cons of free wireless!

By the way, Dan reminded me that it would only take 8 years to walk from Frisco, TX to Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Wow. Wonder how much coffee I'd consume on the way?

Thanks Dan - for making me laugh!

Happy Wi-Fi Friday -
