Concepts… They are amazing, aren’t they? On the one hand, they inspire us, give us ideas for the future, push forward innovations. On the other hand, concepts disappoint, since we cannot have them right now. The only thing we can do is start saving money, and wait until they become a reality.

Fashion Week For a Geek

The good thing about modern industrial designers is that some of them are brave enough to realize and present the wildest of their ideas. And it’s even more amazing how exactly they do it: with utmost seriousness, not giving a hint of childish excitement.
One example is “Beauty and the Geek” jeans, which is an incredible combination of a pair of jeans, a keyboard, a joystick controller and a pocket for a mouse (which is the only thing that seems to be more or less normal). The product, however, looks more like a fake. If it’s not, I am impressed by the unbelievable self-confidence of the author Erik De Nijs.
Another example of the idea that is supposed to be taken seriously is Body-Technology Interfaces. The name sounds very intelligent, but the actual product looks way too futuristic, not to say silly.
Centrino Laptop And a Kitchen Knife

Halloween is a specific holiday, dressing up in an original way requires months of preparation, and in fact you should probably start right now. For computer geeks Halloween is normally not a problem – the chances that they will just miss it again are great.
However, there’s a way out for those who have lost hope to see a Dracula-dressed IT-geek. With one of these bags it’s easy to camouflage a laptop that a computer freak will certainly like to take with them (“just in case the party is boring, you know”) without spoiling the general look. The costume may vary from James Bond to Jack the Ripper.
The bag can be used in everyday life, too. Walking down the street, you will appreciate what it feels like to be Marilyn Manson, for instance – surprised and amazed stares are guaranteed.
