Geeks + fashion = too cool ideas for wearables

"Chindogu Winner" MIT students let loose with technology and fashion and the results are wonderful. The fashion show is a webcast movie. The announcer is great, good tunes and a nice light show. The suit with sound modulation, a magnetic skirt (helps with urban recycling)--even "safety" in an audio helmet for biking or loud discos. Human tissue that creates jewelry? Lace patterns that "grow" on you. How cool is that??? "Anyone with a sewing machine and a soldering iron can do this." says the M.C. Chindogu is Japanese and means "ingenious everyday gadgets that, on the face of it, seem like an ideal solution to a particular problem. However, Chindogu has a distinctive feature: anyone actually attempting to use one of these inventions, would find that it causes so many new problems, or such significant social embarrassment, that effectively it has no utility whatsoever."
