A watch might not seem impressive but this design is a great resource for those wanting to go further into DIY electronics. The article shows a from beginning to finish design of an LED watch using the Arduino IDE. The PCB design and 3d models show you exactly how capable even a DIYer is with the right tools.

It might seem like overkill and it is, but here's a t-shirt that lets you know how many new e-mails you have waiting in your inbox. The system is designed using the Lilypad 'clothing mod' technology and some off the shelf wireless modules.

Similar to my own Pyro POV here's one that can replace your wrist watch! The binary watch POV uses the 'persistence of vision' trick to tell you what time it is. Although seemingly dangerous to have to swing your arm real fast whenever you want to know the time, the large coolness factor levels things out.

Everyone loves Tron, and the new Tron: Legacy. But why, hasn't a Tron clothing line come out yet? Some DIYers have taken up the task to show you how to make your own Tron styled clothing using EL Wire. Take a look at this article and tutorial video to find out how it is done.

This clothing mod just has dangerous written all over it, but then again it doesn't snow here so perhaps it is the life saver it seems to be. Using a 9v battery & some standard wire inserted throughout a jacket and you have an electrically heated jacket. Pretty simple, check out the project write-up for more info.

The picodore 64 is a commodore 64 based PDA. It has a full keyboard and most the standard I/O ports a computer should have. The write-up has a lot of pictures and further details if you're interested in building your own.

Another cool application of accelerometers is in this acceleration sensing glove. This project write-up comes from a student at Berkeley tasked with deciphering hand motions/gestures. The software & schematics are all right there waiting for you.

So when it's nearing your girlfriend's birthday, make sure to have this one bookmarked. The LED shirt uses an AVRmega16 microcontroller to control all the leds. One additional thing...try not to walk into an airport with one of these on, bad things might happen to you =P.
