Is that an iPod joystick in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
From Reuters via CNN:
Call it the 21st Century watch pocket.
Denim giant Levi Strauss said Tuesday it had designed jeans compatible with the iPod music player, featuring a joystick in the watch pocket to operate the device.
The Levi’s RedWire DLX Jeans for men and women, which will be available this fall, also have a built-in docking cradle for the iPod and retractable headphones. Pricing was not immediately available.

I feel so very 2004. I just updated the Wikipedia entry for the Women in Refrigerators concept. I added the new URL (the old one now belongs to someone in Estonia who has the strange sense of irony to put porno on a site discussing the brutal exploitation of female characters for a quick kick of drama) and changed the name away from “Girlfriends-in-Refrigerators,” which is a baffling change that seems to have come from the misremembering of whoever posted the original entry.
I’m not a huge fan of Wikipedia in general — I think it represents itself as being far too authoritative despite being open to a whole lot of monkeying around (I didn’t have to register to make any of the changes to Wikipedia, despite their announcement that would be required) — but it’s useful for quick and dirty info, or informal distribution of information, so long as you go into it knowing that they’re possibly full of crap. If they’d move their disclaimer link up from being the very last word on the entire page up to near the top, I’d be a lot happier with it, since people might click it and realize why there has to be a disclaimer there at all.
I also notice that Gail herself has a Wikipedia entry. Damn it, I want to be interesting enough to merit one.
- Update: Fred has stepped in, fixed the name of the WiR entry, greatly expanded it, and put in an homage to the late, great Rob Harris, whom I think all of us who knew him still miss regularly and terribly.
This was a nice surprise when I got home from work: A new Lost podcast waiting for me in iTunes (via Juice, of course).
Executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse share exclusive clues and preview upcoming episode “The 23rd Psalm.” Also, composer Michael Giacchino talks about the behind-the-scenes scoring of Lost.
Bitchin’.

Why aren’t they making things like this for adults?
- A must-have for all boys, this cool hooded jacket has built-in headphone speakers in the hood
- Made of 100% nylon and polyester
- Multiple blue colors with yellow accents
- Regular fit
- Machine wash
That’s right, it’s a jacket you can plug an iPod into!
I need a new jacket. I like those colors. And yes, I’d love to have a hood that doubles as headphones.
Alas, it’s only available in kids’ sizes.
Sheesh.
