Avi, a Jewish geek, has procured a magnificent hand-crocheted yarmulke bedecked with logos and effigies of modern gadgets. Y'know, I end up wearing a yarmulke at least once a year for a funeral or wedding or ba[t|r]-mitzvah. I would totally buy one of these.
Male Orthodox Jews wear yarmulkas (or, in Hebrew, a "kippah") to show deference to God above us. Many Jews choose the specific fabric of the yarmulka to identify with specific religious or political sub-groups; I have chosen a design to identify with an iPod, a Treo, and a PSP. God help me.
My wife Leah spent three months crocheting the gadget yarmulka based on a design I created for her. She is not pleased with the idea that I'm going to want a new one with different gadgets – maybe a WiMAX logo? Nokia 8801? Motorola PEBL? – in a few months.
