What is this? It is a shirt that detects the presence of wifi signals where ever you happen to be, and shows the strength of those signals on an animated emblem on the front of it, as you see here. Not only can you see whether wifi is available where ever you might be located, but everyone else who is nearby can also see it. The only sad thing about this is that it doesn't show whether the wifi signals are secured or free, but otherwise, this is the ultimate geek shirt!

My whole housing development recently changed Internet Service Providers. We now have optical fibre from Ownit, offering hundreds of megabits per second. It works just fine. But there's a security issue and Ownit aren't taking it seriously.

Blog topics seem to come in waves, where I'll be stuck on more deeply examining a topic for days, only to have that topic dry up. Sometimes, you, my readers, make me aware of a topic. This is an example of the latter case.
Nice! But I'll keep my money for an RFID reader detector shirt.
Why are there so many people complaining about the intrusion in their private life by RFIDs but no one who devised a gadget that will beep when one approaches one of these readers?
How would you care for such a shirt, I wonder?
the wifi detector logo and batteries are removable so the shirt can be washed without ruining it. i think this is great: now computer geeks don't have to suffer with poor hygiene in order to dress appropriately!
