MAKE Flickr photo pool member Yang02 made a cool hat, I'm not exactly sure what it does but it appears to light up when it gets dark, it might also blink - Link.

A big trucker hat like that, you think he/she should have been able to hide the wiring a bit better...

...unless it was the borg implant look they were after.

What kind of chip is that?

(OK, I looked it up myself. It's an inverter. Presumably it takes the signal from the photoresisters and makes the LEDs get brighter in the dark instead of the light.)

What IS it he's doing in these pictures? Strange amalgamations of sound toys and plastic drainpipe. Cool!

if it's not machine gun proof, i'd recommend against wearing it in boston. . .
