Macetech has developed an interesting set of LED glasses that look like something people in 1983 would expect people of 2012 to be wearing. Although the glasses have been featured in a Lytro gallery, a recent Reddit post seems to provide the only details:
The shades are a 20×6 matrix (with some pixel missing of course) driven by SPI from an integrated Arduino-compatible in the right temple. There is a Lithium-Polymer battery on the left temple. You can charge the glasses through USB, and download new code to it over the same connection. A button on the right temple allows switching between modes or auto cycling animated patterns.
Currently, there’s no word on whether the specs will eventually be sold at all, let alone as a finished product or kit.

Something tells me Link would have a lot more confidence if he was addressed in this fashion rather than a simple “It’s Dangerous To Go Alone! Take This.”

Chances are you’ll never be as smooth as Sterling Archer, but at least you can try by wearing this long sleeved t-shirt sporting an image of his thickly outlined suit. It may be a conversation starter on what is possibly the world’s greatest animated series, but it won’t hide your man-boobs or give you the stealth of a secret agent.

For a mere $195, you can pay tribute to 25 Years of the Zelda universe with these “Twilight Princess” Vans depicting Link’s legendary shield. The kicks are described as “a hand crafted pair of shoes on official Vans product”, and feature a design painted with a bonding, waterproof material – meaning they’re just as fit for labyrinths and dungeons as any other commercially available shoe.

If Wonder Woman subjected me to the lasso of truth, I’d say that this shirt is pretty close to actually wearing the 1970s. Throw in some feathered hair, three ring socks and old school Adidas shorts, and people will start asking where your time machine is… and if they can hitch a ride back to the days before Lynda Carter needed 1-800 Contacts.

If you want to temper your feminine appearance with the nunchuck-wielding ass-kickery of Bruce Lee, this incredibly bizarre dress should do the trick. It will surely get you noticed as well – especially if you happen to be sporting the mannequin facial expression and Tinky Winky hairstyle seen above.
