Nerd Alert: The Solar SCOTTeVEST
 This may be pushing the bounds of nerdiness to a whole new level. True, we carry so many electronics that the image you see here with gadgets in every pocket is spot on for us, but sporting solar panels on your back to re-charge them as you walk?
The horribly named SCOTTeVest is a $534.98 vest that sports solar panels on the back for charging up your electronics, once you stay out in the sun for at least two hours. I guess you could leave your vest over by a window near a sunny patch and charge things that way too, but then wouldn't an electrical outlet be easier?
The company is taking pre-orders today. If you know anyone who buys one, please contact us immediately. mailto:alice@alicehill.com
