I for one think wireless networking has to be the best thing since they started bringing out Starburst in different styles, (Sour mix, strawberry pack, ooh and those yummy Choozers), so naturally I was excited when I discovered that there was now a T-Shirt out which could tell you the signal strength in any given area. No longer do you have to move to all corners of the room/street/earth to get a good signal while carrying your laptop with you, now you just put on the Tee, press a button and Voila, the glowing bars on the front of the T-Shirt light up to signify Wireless signal strength! The better the connection, the more bars will glow, and it picks up anything working on a 802.11b or 802.11g connection. As geek shirts go this one really ain't to bad, as it could easily be mistaken for one of those glowing rave shirts you see in Camden. Chris, our lovely camera man has been very excited by it, and wants to know where he can get it (read the details), which has to be a good recommendation, so thumbs up overall.
