This Solar Bikini Charges Your iPod on the Beach

This is kind of great. Just in time for beach weather, New York designer Andrew Schneider has invented a solar-powered swimsuit that can charge any gadget with a USB connector. No more begging the Verizon guy to charge your phone for a few minutes. (This happens to me a lot.) No more dead iPod just as your favorite song comes on. Clearly this bikini wouldn't do much for reducing our carbon.
