Engadget Wearables

For those unfamiliar, Engadget is a technology blog network with the scoop on all the latest and greatest in dorkware and geekdom. While the overwhelming majority of posts that litter its front page relate to flatscreens and playstations, there are a few hidden gems. For example, if you scroll down a little, look under "Sections" and click wearables, you will find a repository of the fantastical daydreams of science fiction that have (or promise to) become manifest in this, the real world.

Some of these innovations are kind of ludicrous and appropriately ridiculed by the authors as being good ways to loose your friends (but I still want one). Others reference truly remarkable inventions that we've known were coming, but are finally here and could drastically improve lives, such as this prosthetic arm from the maker of the Segway (video). And then a few talk about things that are just awesome, such as a tattoo that turns on and off, plays videos, makes phone calls, alerts you of health issues, and oh... is powered by your blood.

There are some incredible things out there, and i take it as my job to tell you all about them. Fortunately, sites like Engadget are doing all the hard work for me...

UPDATE 3/12: Once in a while, on days like today, Engadget's front page picks up a good article.
