I Call Me. Find out why!

Posted Thursday, November 22nd, 2007 by Mihnea Boiangiu

No, in fact I don’t call myself. I Call Me is a concept gadget that allows two way connections between a keychain and a cellphone. This devices could be very helpful when you misplace the keys. The cellphone calls the I Call Me device and vice versa when you lost your mobile.

The idea seems pretty nice, but I think is very hard to put it in production. First of all the manufacturer should consider its efficiency and utility. It might be a good solution to use radio signals between the two devices rather than a mobile network. Some mobiles have a PTT function, but the service is offered with contract. Other solution would be creating a mobile with dedicated I Call Me button that use Bluetooth or other radio waves. All in all, it is a great idea in my opinion.

The Latest Geek Stuff - The Wi-Fi T-shirt Detector

Posted Tuesday, November 6th, 2007 by Mihnea Boiangiu

The ultimate geek stuff I discovered is the Wi-Fi T-shirt detector. It detects signal strength for 802.11b and 802.11g networks. The Wi-Fi Detector T-shirt is 100% cotton and features a removable decal that contains the Wi-Fi display. When you get nearby a hotspot the T-shirt will display a glowing animation.

As I see it this “gadget” could be an uniform for desperate geeks who can’t stay out of a network. The high-tech fashionable T-shirt works on three AAA batteries that go into a battery pack hidden inside a little pocket. This T-shirt priced at $29.99 can be purchased from ThinkGeek.
