Total Geek T-Shirts

Wi-Fi Detetctor Shirt

The glowing bars on the front of the shirt dynamically change as the surrounding wi-fi signal strength fluctuates. Finally you can get the attention you deserve as others bow to you as their reverential wi-fi god, while geeky chicks swoon at your presence.

8-Bit Dynamic Life Bar

During your normal activities two and a half pixelated hearts will light up on your shirt. Hey... you're depressed and in need of a recharge. But get within hugging distance of your significant other wearing the matching shirt and suddenly the hearts on both of your shirts start to light up until you're fully powered up.

Check this out for total GEEKNESS. "Amazing you say? But what if you haven't found a cute geek girl or boy to love? Never fear lonely geek! You can buy an 8-Bit Dynamic Life Shirt and pick up a handy Transmitter Pack to go with it. Now place the transmitter pack near something you love like your Wii, Star Wars figure collection, or maybe in the backpack of that cute girl in chemistry class. When you get close to the transmitter pack then all the hearts on your shirt will light up. You've been revitalized!" (I thought that description was hilarious...if u cant get a girl, put a transmitter pack near your toy collection!! LMFAO!)

PHOTOGRAPHER HAMISH BROADBENT MAKES DOUBLE
UK DEBUT WITH FLESH, FICTION & NON-FICTION

Photographer Hamish Broadbent is to mark his UK exhibition debut with two
consecutive solo shows in London this May.
The first of these, entitled ‘Flesh’, examines human activity under opposed conditions of confined and unconfined space. In the first case - on tubes, trains and airplanes - the
constraint is imposed by the mode of travel and subjects are photographed close up,
according to their confined state. In the second, the constraint is self-imposed -
choosing to occupy the same public park at the same time each morning - and the
subjects are photographed in isolation according to the condition of their choice and the
routine they have developed. In both cases the closed circuit of activity is centred on the body and its cycle of repetition.
