Title: Electronics Umbrella
Post by: kallisti5 on July 25, 2018, 12:45:40 pm

Pretty close to off-topic... but found an awesome electronics themed umbrella.   *REALLY* hard to find outside of Japan, but found a seller here:

    http://shop.shinkansen.com/diode-umbrella-p/wdiode.htm (http://shop.shinkansen.com/diode-umbrella-p/wdiode.htm)

If you're interested... i'd be careful about using their web-shop. It is pretty rickety and is *not* https (so don't give them your credit card number, I used paypal since it won't really expose anything.)
The guy personally emailed me back within two days and gave me a tracking number... so seems legit so far.

Does it prevent from stealing my thoughts? Is it better than a tin foil hat? How does it work?

They have smiley faces ... and the legs have feet.

Hehe, it does say that it's cute. I would expect no less than a kawaii (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawaii) component umbrella from Japan. ;)
