Transformer Shoes: A Little Something For The Ladies
Don’t worry ladies, no Autobots or Decepticons here – these Transformers involve adjustable-height high heeled shoes. Chamileon Heels , as they are called, allow you to change your footwear from sexy to comfortable in seconds.

Camileon Heels are available in a wide range of styles and, as you might imagine, they don’t come cheap. Check out some additional info along with a video of the heels in action after the jump.

No contact Jacket
When the No-Contact Jacket is activated by the wearer, 80,000 volts of low amperage electric current pulses just below the surface shell of the entire jacket.
This exo-electric armor prevents any person from unauthorized contact with the wearer’s body. If an assailant were to grab hold of the wearer the high voltage exterior would interrupt their neurological impulses which control voluntary muscle movement. The neuromuscular system would be overwhelmed causing disorientation and loss of balance to occur and of course pain. The pain experienced is non-lethal but is enough to effectively and immediately deter contact with the wearer and provide a critical life saving opportunity for escape.

Lego Cufflinks
No true geek list would be complete without something Lego. While the Forever Young Cufflinks are not true Lego pieces, the Lego-esque cufflinks will add the right flare to any shirt. Combine it with a Lego belt, and you are ready to go clubbing.
Price:$150
USB Shirt
Working on a computer all day can get you hot and bothered under the collar. You want to ensure that when that special lady walks by that you look as cool as a cucumber. The
USB (or AA) powered shirts have built-in fans that supposedly “draw in a large amount of air which helps to vaporize thus dissipating sweat and bringing down the wearers body temperatureâ€.
Pong Hat
Winter is a long dull season and the best way of passing time is by playing Pong on this great DIY hat.

Cell Phone Shoe Charger
It may not be the most aesthetically pleasing pair of shoes around but being able to charge your cell phones while you are walking makes it very cool.
It works by having a dynamo attached to the base of the shoe which converts energy generated while walking into electric energy. With the help of bridge rectifier it converts AC into DC current which is able to produce five to six volts of electricity, enough to charge a mobile phone.
Built-In Cell Phone Lederhosen
With the Built in cell phone lederhosen, you will never have to wear your Bluetooh headset to Oktoberfest again.
Show Your Emotions
MoBeeline lets two people send feelings and emotions via SMS to a wearable Bluetooth accessory. 
A mobile phone user can modify the colors of another user’s garment according to the emotion he/she wants to convey or send emoticons to LEDs on the recipient”s garment. We”re not sure why one couldn”t just send a text message letting the recipient know how one feels, or better yet, call them on one”s mobile phone. But we”re just a couple of gear geeks — what do we know about feelings?

Peekvid – Watch videos online for free including TV Shows, Movies And Cartoons
Relying on TV and their timetables for watching your favorite show is not a good option, therefore I present you a website that has been on my top-ten-used-list on the past couple of days, PeekVid.
Basically… it displays a lot of the latest TV shows, movies and cartoons so you can watch them online, for free. Of course the image quality isn’t the same as a normal TV, but it is still worth the time. For example, if your favorite comic cartoon is Family Guy (like me) you can go to this page and watch some of the 32 videos available. I recommend the episode 6 from season 1, entitled The Son Also Draws.
In each Peekvid category – TV Shows, Movies, Cartoons, Anime, Asian Drama
& Movies – there are plenty of videos you can choose from. The number of movies (which are divided in small parts) must be over 50 and there are some rare but cool ones, like Pirates of Silicon Valley.
Do I need to say more to convince you and spend some time at PeekVid?
Update: Since Peekvid closed and the links redirect to adult content, I have removed all the links from this page.
If you are still looking to get your fix of the latest and greatest from the entertainment world you can also check out the Amazon Unbox service that is featured below.

Scrolling message bras are hand-made, one-of-a-kind items and are priced at $500 and up. If you need a larger, flexible version of these displays, we can do that, but please consider the cost of research, design, and the labor required to assemble these on a hand-built, made- to-order basis.
