I wish I knew how to quit you, Brando Workshop (to use a timely reference). I've been trying not to blog about every one of your unusual gadget releases. I didn't post about your amazing Solar Fan Cap last week, startling as it was. But now you've gone and given me a hat I can't ignore.
Brando Workshop has just released the WiFi Detection Cap, a baseball cap that lets you know if you're in range of an 802.11 b/g/n signal: One LED alerts you to a signal, while other LEDs show its strength. The hat comes in two styles, one that looks like the old XM Satellite Radio logo and one that looks like a laptop screen, and three colors (red, white, and black). It runs off two CR2032 batteries, which are included.
What makes the WiFi Detection Cap classic Brando is that it doesn't tell you if the WiFi signals are open or not. Most of the time it will detect protected networks. And, of course, if you're wearing the hat, you can't see when it detects a signal.
The cap goes for a low $14. Oh those Brando Workshop inventions: Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in (to use a timely reference).
