I saw an interesting programme late last whilst trying to finish some university work. It was about clever clothing and how they hope to intergrate all this cool and funky stuff into our apparel. Like mp3 players and mobile phones. The size of the things was tiny and it was implemented by making the clothes out of a special fibre that conducted the necessary signals. Very cool stuff, Open University programmes are rather informative and I could definitely do with alternating heels on my shoes.

I’ve always been interested in wearable computing ever since i came across them like five odd years ago. Infact, there was a time when i had tons of files full of printed information, a notebook full of notes and even plans to build myself one of those bulky machines.
Five years later, they’re just lying around somewhere in my room, i got a sony headset packed up on top of my bookshelf that i was meaning to use with my wearable but you know what? i think i’ll probably unload it on ebay.
Oh i remember know where i first saw them. In a very old issue of T3 that i bought off the newstands in the UAE. heh
know = now
Aren’t open uni progs on at like an ungodly hour… Oh yeah, you be the night owl DA!
Of course I am. I’m no piker unlike Fonzarelli and Sally who are the first to nod off!
