There are certain gadgets out there that while they may be considered “geeky,” they’re still cool to be seen with. Other things, well, you wouldn’t even want to get caught dead with! Today’s MyFive is a list of some of those things you’d want to think twice about buying for the sake of your reputation…
- Geekiest Tattoo Ever
I really hope I don’t have to explain this one - it’s HTML, get it? How many times do you think he has to explain his tattoo to “non-geeky” friends?

From LapDome’s website: “This laptop computer carry case transforms into a sheltered, darkened work environment. It offers privacy, security, and protection from the elements, but most of all, computer screen visibility outdoors in the daytime.”

“For the computer operator, who could relax the eye pressure because of long time sitting before the computer.” Just plug it in to your USB port and you’re ready to go! Hmm… you could bring it along on your vacation to use with your LapDome! Ultimate relaxation…

Yes, it really can detect Wi-Fi hot spots around you and shows a signal each time it detects one. You’ll even know the strength based upon how many bars on the shirt are lit!

Place this gadget on the back of your car. It can display five different messages, and you can change them using the wireless remote! You may want to be careful when you decide to use the “Back Off” or “Idiot” message — you could end up dealing with some serious road-raged drivers!

Um..wow..where to start…
#1 is creative, but I would agree Geeky
#2 I don’t really understand the purpose
#3 WTF
#4 I’ve seen that before
#5 I don’t think so, you are just asking to be shot if you use something like that in LA or even here in Phoenix.
@Ashley:
I would go for #4 (Wi-Fi Detector Shirt). I think it’s pretty cool to know when you’re within a Wi-Fi hot spot and the intensity of the signal. Wow!
I’ll ask tomorrow if they retail that shirt in Panama.
Thanks for the tip.
Omar.-
I just placed orders for 2, 4 and 5! Wow thanks!
“You’ll even know the strength based upon hoe….”
Just thought you might want to correct that.
1- I’ve seen sweet geeky tats before, like the power button symbol (the O with a 1 in the middle kinda thing)….the HTML one isn’t too cool, though.
2- I agree….it’s just dumb.
3- Again, agreed.
4- Ok…this thing is just sweet.
5- Kinda cool, but kinda lame at the same time.
Now you just need to buy yourself a hand-mirror so you can see the wifi strength without looking like an idiot bending over to read your shirt (but you’ll look like a poser instead)
Did you really? That would be pretty funny!
Maybe that’s what Ashley meant.
That’s a good point…walking around always looking at your shirt would look rather funny.
