I thought I was a pretty geeky guy. Not so, after seeing pt's latest "invention" -- a Pocket PC belt buckle that displays the latest (get this) <i>search engine queries</i>. 8O<br /><br /><i>"It was a late August Saturday night in Seattle, we decided not only to hit the dance floor, but boogie on down in a whole new way. All the cats in town are wearing big belt buckles now, so we thought, hey, here’s our chance to show the world our latest hack, the Search Engine Belt Buckle."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/parekh-20040825-ptSearchBuckle.jpg" /><br /><br />You're seeing an iPAQ 2215 adapted to fit on the belt and displaying a video clip of search terms flying by on SearchSpy. I'm so not worthy. :werenotworthy: Hey pt, have you considered trying <a href="http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/time/?en">Spb Time</a> on that? You could top the wrist-wearable <a href="http://www.ppcw.net/?itemid=1932">Spb Watch</a>. :lol: <i>(Small warning: some of the search terms are a little off-color.)</i>

Sorry Janak, but I like pt's choice of words better. people are sick monkeys :D

:huh:

Something tells me this falls into the catagory of "W?BIC!"

The things people do for fashion...

[stevehiner]

He could make it a bit more socially acceptable by implementing media player visualizations on it. Use the microphone so the visualizations could respond to the music like Windows Media Player.

I think it's W?BIC! and then some.. 8)


He does'nt have his stylus out which is probably a good thing :)

That would be cool, except that Pocket Windows Media Player has no visualizations. ;-)

[sponge]

I distinctly recall one app that does visualizations based on the mic input. God knows I can't remember the name of it now, though.

[Kati Compton]

Forget the search terms - what about those SEQUINS??? (Spangles for you Brits out there I believe).

[Rob Alexander]

Man, just think how great that would look with a Scott eVest!!! :lol:

[dma1965]

Now all he needs to do is find some hot dance floor chick who is addicted to solitaire!!!! :mrgreen:

[bjornkeizers]

Hey baby, wanna see my *other* stylus? :twisted:

pt once again proves he's operating on an entirely different level all by himself

[Jon Westfall]

Yea, he would have a reason to take the belt off, or at least she'd be doing some rather suggestive dances to play the game...

My question is - where is the mod kit for this? I see something where we could turn our PPCs into clothing and than back again!

[Dave Potter]

For some reason, whenever I look at that picture, I can't help but think about the Village People.
:D

Ok.

I am embarrased that people are visiting us today here at PPCT!!

Please lock this thread and bury it so that newcomers won't think this is some Travolta lovin' geek zone.

Damn!

I wish I had seen this big belt buckle before buying one from here:

I'm a big fan of 'portable devices', and this one is definitely a 'must-have one'.
