Tired of being exposed to harmful radiation? Worried that being vocal about your right to privacy will keep you from making your flight? 4th Amendment Wear might be for you!

But seriously, this is nice. Garments are printed with metallic inks that could in theory? display the 4th amendment as you go through the airport scanners as a silent protest. Good idea, but I’d still like to know if it works.

Not necessarily wearable, but an interesting project nonetheless, the Raspberry Pi Foundation is developing a tiny, low cost ($25) computer to promote the study of computer science in schools. The machine connects to a monitor via HDMI, has a USB port to connect to a keyboard, and looks like you could put it in your pocket. The specs aren’t bad, and it looks like it will run Ubuntu. Nice.

Regardless of how these intestinal “guests” exert their influence, these studies suggest that brain-directed behaviors, which influence the manner in which animals interact with the external world, may be deeply influenced by that animal’s relationship with the microbial organisms living in its gut.
