    Meet last year's winner of the tech fashion contest. Layered Tech is going to explode with these high rez images of the clothing to be used at the MIT event, although I am pretty sure that MIT can handle the bandwidth used by the streaming video. (More Tron Guy Pix HA! HA!)

    What the hell is this guy doing? Don't answer that . I'm going to get this one for those days when I want to look like Snuffaluffagus. Oh and whenever I update my blog, I'm going to wear this blogger hoodie. It's a blogger hoodie because...

  5. Re:Just what you'd expect from MIT Media Lab by jbloggs · · Score: 2, Informative

    Obviously you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. First of all, at the media lab, you're funded so you don't need to worry about grant money. Second of all, this isn't the real world. That is what is good about this. Seamless is put on to showcase the works of designers and other people (mostly not MIT people) who are interested in fashion and technology. It is mainly a CONCEPTUAL event meant for inspiring others into the different possible domains of interaction with fashion and technology. None of these items were meant to be bought off the runway. The designers were not engineers...but artists....
