No no no no no. NO! I’m not looking! I’m not looking! You don’t exist! I said I’m noooot looking! NOT. LOOKING. OK, I’m looking. Good God. [This You Never Knew Existed via Presurfer via Likecool]
You’ve seen the shoes and you’ve scored the jacket. But what about the most garish garment of Marty McFly’s 2015 ensemble, his eye-straining, iridescent hat? Yes, now even that masterpiece is for sale.
The Sap Cap isn’t just a logo-less baseball cap. It’s also a blackjack, one of those weighted leather weapons private eyes used to get socked with all the time back in the 1940s.

Perhaps that alien fixture with illuminated lava lamp phallus is not adding that touch of class you’d hoped to the old apartment. Then grab the Jeeves Wooster lampshades instead.
While headphones are a serious cause of hearing damage, there are alternatives. And one such alternative is the iCap MP3 player—an MP3 player in a baseball cap that never bows to social pressures.
newVideoPlayer("/yarmulke2dot0_giz.flv", 494, 296,""); The last time we caught up with tech analyst Avi Greengart, he sported a yarmulke emblazoned with crocheted gadgets. Now he’s put his money where his mouth keppe is and made his newest yarmulke a gadget itself. It is loaded with LEDs that scroll his name—and presumably messages to the man upstairs, or anything else he can dream up. I have one pressing question: Does he turn it off on Friday night?

While this might look like an ordinary baseball hat, a closer look reveals that it has a bunch of electronics jammed into the back and a wire connecting it behind the ear of the wearer. That’s your first tip-off that this hat will do more than shield your eyes from the sun and give you hat head. It’s a hat that can actually read the EEG signals from your brain, able to tell when you’re too sleepy to drive or, with a bit more work, allow you to do things like turn the TV on and off. It’s much like other EEG readers that claim to allow you to control things with your brain, but this one is wireless and portable. [Pink Tentacle]
The reason that the official Indiana Jones Fedora is available on Think Geek is that only geeks think that they can pull off wearing a fedora in the year 2008. The only fedora you (us) nerds should stick to is Red Hat’s version, leaving Indiana Jones’ to the still handsome but greying Harrison Ford. If you really do want to pick up your own version for some down-home sexy play, it’s US$99. Everything’s in stock except for X-Large and XX-Large, further proving our point that only overweight nerds will buy and wear this outdoors. [Think Geek]
At first glance at the 2CLight cap you’d think “oh come on… who’d use that?” — but then you’d think about fishermen and other outdoorsy-types who’d benefit from some hands-free lighting, and maybe you’d reconsider. Its flexible solar cell charges a small battery up during the day, and gives out about 2 hours of max-brightness from the twin LEDs in the brim, or 36 hours at low setting. According to the website blurb it’s “not a cap with lights,” ohoho no: it’s a “tightly integrated, highly advanced, microprocessor controlled solar lighting technology” system. Hmm. So, this cap with lights is available in three colour schemes for $35. [2CLight via Talk2MyShirt]
