Clothing For Gadget Guys
Andru Edwards writes "In an article looking at the advancements in clothing for gear loving professionals, it becomes apparent that you no longer need to sacrifice your gadgets for style. SCOTTeVEST has recently released a sport jacket, khakis, and tie all specifically tailored with hidden pockets and compartments for businessmen who don't want to leave their tech at home. The clothing includes an integrated tunnel system which allows you to hide all the wires affiliated with your devices within the lining of the item, aptly dubbed the "Personal Area Network"."

From the site:
Rumor has it that the POTUS himself spotted one of these garments on a Secret Service Agent and insisted on one of his own - complete with a presidential seal.
That says all you need to know.
So when a tech guy gets laid off from the IT dept after being outsourced to India and is begging for money on the street, is his Personal Area Network - handling legal?
Your mobile ?
Your Sat phone?
Your PDA?
Your iPod?
Your USB key fob?
Oh... so you _are_ happy to see me then
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
No, that ends up not being a problem.
See, you have to sell all your tech stuff to afford the jacket and pants. What you actually end up putting in the pockets is tissues to wipe your eyes while you mourn the passing of your beloved gadgets.
As far as womens clothing, have you ever seen a dress with pockets? Or shirts for women with shirtpockets? Not that they'd necessarily make dresses for women, but it shows the point: you don't get a lot of pockets on dresses. And yet, somehow, womens clothing is often more expensive.
How can they compete? Their clothing has (unsightly?) pockets, unlike the apparently desirable non-functional women's clothing.
What they should really do is make lingerie, since women wear that for guys anyway. Just picture it: first, think of the most attractive woman you've seen in lingerie. Now imagine that inside that lingerie has hidden gadgets in it. To me, that attractive woman is now much more well-endowed.
Of course, this would only work based upon the assumption that geek guys have significant others, so...I don't know. Probably wouldn't work.
Mod me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!

Oh, I can certainly see how this would simplify my life. Picture this:
inside that lingerie has hidden gadgets in it.
Lingerie already has hidden gadgets in it. It's called boobies.
Just gotta get the lingerie off her.....

Imagine the scene - you have been out avter work for a few drinks, met up with a lovely lady (guy - whatever your taste). Things are going well, you are back at her place...
Passions are rising, you are ripping off each others clothes, then you realise that she is just about to hurl your trousers (pants), containing a months paycheck worth of kit across the room.
I have as many gadgets as the next geek, but by putting them in a bag I get to rip of my clothes with wanton abandon! (not that I get the chance as often as I would like!)
Appearantly President Bush is one of the first ones to wear and advocate such a suit:

... is a network in my, *ahem*, "Personal Area".
Since when do the nerds/geeks worry about clothing style?
Since some of us want to have more than a plutonic relationship with a living breathing female human.
Question everything
That's hardly a new term, since that's also used in describing Bluetooth networks (i.e. your phone, PDA, and headset all talking wirelessly). And personally, I like the idea of this stuff all talking wirelessly anyway.
However, given how fat I am, my Personal Area Network is probably a Wide Area Network....

So, what idiosyncracy requires that you change your pants 4 times in one day?
I can buy a nice trenchcoat (personal style, they don't have it) and sew interior black pockets for almost nothing.
Do you by any chance use Genetoo?
