Using this bicycle headwear means you won’t need to carry a bulky helmet around. The design allows it to collapse into a flat pack, allowing you to easily slip it into a bag. As a concept headwear, it’s rather clever. Unless you’re concerned about utility and function, that is.

Think kids already spend too much time staring at screens now? Wait till Siftables, a new set of cookie-sized computers with near-limitless interactive possibilities, come out.

Ready to create beautiful electronic beep-beeps (okay, we’ll call it music), it’s basically a rudimentary computer with a music software slotted into a guitar body. Why? So you can carry it onstage while prancing around, using your left hand to press on the buttons along the neck, while your right hand taps at strategic points on the display. Oh yeah, you can do that while headbanging and gyrating too, which should handily put you in the Dorkiest Musicians Hall Of Fame (which, by the way, doesn’t exist either).
