Say what?

I love the name of the show I do for CNET TV since there are so many plays on words you can do with it. My favorite is "Are you in the Queue?" Now, there's a shirt that can share my excitement.

A company called Reactee lets you create custom-designed shirts with a slogan and keyword. When someone sees your shirt, they can send a text to 41411 to get more information, or sign up for instant alerts. People can also buy your shirt for $20 bucks to share the love. Pretty neat, huh?

Plus, the mashup of an ancient language with … Read more

They cost less to make and are flexible, which makes it easy to incorporate into roof shingles or building materials. The sample photographed here from DayStar Technologies would shatter if it were a silicon solar cell. DayStar and others will begin commercial production of CIGS cells next year.

But the best part is how they get made: The pattern on the solar cell is made through silk screening--the same industrial process that brought you the Lynyrd Skynyrd muscle shirt.
