Description:
put together chording keysticks, a waterproof usb stick, a cheap, lightweight CPU, an 802.11b/g module, and video glasses to make a wearable computer that can edit files, compile programs, and connect to the internet via ssh and http. (cheated; bought an iPod Touch and an Otterbox case for it; jailbroke it with Ziphone and installed ssh and Terminal.app on it. not perfect but it's waterproof and wearable, and i can always hack on some kind of chording keyboard someday)

ideasthe two methods i'm working on are: (1) using a Linksys WRT54G and interfacing custom I/O components to it; and (2) using an old Sony Clié by replacing the lithium battery with two rechargeable D cells, and putting it all into a waterproof bag with a solar cell.
