WiFi hat will make you king of the geeks
This is the WiFi hat. It has a functioning WiFi detector built right in, showing you when you're in a hotspot. Well, more accuratly it shows people standing around you when you're in a hotspot. In order for you to see it, you'll need to take the hat off and look at it. Sure, not the smartest design in the world, but if you're looking for a hat that is far, far nerdier than your Star Trek hat, this is it.

On the other hand, if they put some LEDs under the bill, it would be like a HUD that only the wearer sees.
Better: meke the LEDs red, also visible from the front, and oscillating side to side: a cylon hat wifi detector.

A necklace or ring or bracelet would be more practical, and a green or blue LED would rock better than the red; however, I'd like to follow where this one goes :)
