It'd be winter in here before I'd wear that thing.

[Eleanor]

They need scarves? I don't get it!
Dave?

[Eleanor]

never mind. The picture didn't load the first (or second - har!) time I looked.

[Suzy Q]

Linky no have picture for me.

[Cheryl]

It's nice because it's UNDERSTATED ...

[Cheryl]

Scroll down if you can't see the picture. Mine loaded way down on the page ...

Friendly geek advice, no scarf necessary.

[Straw]

Well there goes my favorite hobby - peeking over a dork's shoulder to see what's on their gadget's screen.

Curses! Foiled again!

Great for introverts who like to shut out the world. (At least until someone tells them: "Ah, we can still see you.")

Also, Chloe need this at the bar.

Wowser, Life imitates art.

And its the artist's B-day today, wish him a happy one here.

[pepe]

oops... I meant to link this to "here" above...

On the other hand, anyone wearing this finds it pretty impossible to move...

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

Be careful though, one guy choked himself trying to dance to a music video.

[Punkin Poo]

Why don't they just wear those elizabethan collars they put on dog's at the vet??? Now THAT would be a GEEK scarf!

[fivver]

I'm going to market plastic liners for these things!

[Meanie the Blue]

The scarves remind me of that undersea vacuum creature in the Yellow Submarine movie. Especially the guy at the monitor. And they say the Beatles were on drugs? Sheesh.

[Jazzzz]

I know some folks that need to wear this for society's benefit, not theirs.

[Susy]

I would love to see that on the Paris runways...

course they'd all be falling over :)
which I would personally pay to see!

[beaniehampton]

... and the desktop version doubles as a burqa for all you lady programmers who need to follow Islamic law - or will need to after Islam takes over the world.

HTML Lesson of the Day (a.k.a. "Look Ma, no spaces", or, "Unnecessary coding is unnecessary"):

This was posted yesterday:
To display tags, you have to use the codes for the characters rather than the characters directly. So instead of < or > use &lt and &gt. Plus if they're adjacent they screw up, for example to get <A you need to write &lt&#65 rather than &ltA.

In a word, NO. Let me introduce you to my litte friend, the semicolon ;
Pretty isn't she?
This acts as a separator so you can put multiple symbols, or indeed, even symbols in the middle of regular words, without spaces. Check it:

©®™ - &copy;&reg;&trade;
A®®®gh - A&reg;&reg;&reg;gh

My ex-husband will be needing this. He used to try to hide what he was looking at or doing on the net when myself or my daughter would walk through the room. With this, he wouldn't be bothered trying to hide his stuff.

Let's not be gender phobic. The scarf would work nicely for geek elephants, as well. And aardvarks.

W "Geek Elephants" BAGNFARB?

[Steve]

I think everyone's missing the point here... It's not clothing that people are using to see monitors....

It's the monitors that are throwing webbing around unsuspecting people! And they've got websites!

If the computers get in on the animal conspiracy thing, we're all doomed.

[Lairbo]

So, it's gone from "Put a sock in it" to "Put it in a sock"?

[Ol' Chumbucket]

Did you notice the link at the top of the page? "Dell Laptop Explodes?" It takes you to a picture of a Dell laptop exploding. Kinda cool.

But imagine the tragedy if it had exploded while the geek user was wearing one of those scarves!!! Disaster!!!

[otis wildflower]

"So, it's gone from "Put a sock in it" to "Put it in a sock"?"

Hate to say it, but I bet a lot of tech geeks are already "puttin' it in a sock"..

Also, dibs on TechnoBurka!

[will]

Am I the only one that thinks wearing one of these scarves is tantamount to holding up a sign saying "Please Mug Me, I'm Not Paying Attention to My Surroundings!"?

[Sarah J]

for some reason it reminded me of "do it yourself animals"

[Michael H.]

If you are looking for geek fashion, this is the geekiest I have seen http://www.eholster.com/eholsters1.html

[Sarah J]

and of course there's this lovely item Marie in Kourou was kind enough to share with me last night

[Higgy]

I've heard of people getting sucked into their gadgets, but this is ridiculous!

[CJrun]

Will: They will be perfectly safe if they say:

'Take anything you want,' and
'Please, spare my life.'

[Sallyacious]

I would rather by far have people peering over my shoulder than wear something like that in public. How are you supposed to tell when your bus comes? Or avoid panhandlers and crackheads?

[eat_black_licorice]

Sallyacious, if you are wearing that, you are a crackhead. So you would only be avoiding yourself. And you would likely not be allowed on a bus.

[TCK]

after reading fud's html lesson for the day, is anyone else wondering if he was wearing this when he typed it?

[will]

CJRun:
Thanks ever so much. I had just gotten the "take anything you want" mantra out of my head.
AHHHHHHHHH!

[Alfred]

Didn't we go into Afghanistan to get those?
