Capes

[aggienaut]

I know what I want to bring back? CAPES.

No, not cheesy superhero capes, or silly felt ren-faire capes. Practical fashionable capes. I don't think its as silly as it sounds.

Often, particularly when I'm working at my computer, I'm cold but feel uncomfortably constricted putting on a jacket or even a sweatshirt while sitting at my computer. Wrapping a blanket around myself is usually nice, but then you've got to finagle a way to have it around you and still have your arms sticking out. I often end up draping my jacket around my shoulders, basically wearing it as if it were a cape.

I think a cape could be easily designed that is both practical and not ridiculous looking. I think someone should do this.

I would like a USB hand warmer - for my 'mouse' operating hand. it gets cold! or even for those manic typing days - keys that warmed the fingers.

ooh thats a good plan with the heated keys. And computers give off heat anyway, which is usually vented out the back -- I'd imagine it wouldn't be too hard to redirect this heat through the keyboard instead (at least in laptops where hte keyboard and everything is attached).

Otherwise.. what about those gloves musicians sometimes have that have the fingers cut off?
