Specialization is for Insects

Wearable computing, I find it utterly facinating.  I wants one!  I’ve been designing a system for myself since about the age of 14.  Most recently I’ve been thinking of a low profile backpack / wrist screen platform.

I ran into this link via Makezine today.  It involves salving Prius hybrid batteries.  The formfactor of the battery says to me that it would fit perfectly in a backpack of some kind… and other than extreme voltages/current, they seem pretty safe chemically.  NiMH batterys are okish, not like LiON’s *shudder*.
