    It’s a big day for fancy headwear. First we have the sleek and stylish UFO Cap, now we have this ridiculous hat-brim-solar-fan contraption, and the PS3 Slim is small enough that you could conceivably equip it with a chinstrap and wear it. But would it keep you cool? Not like this one, my friend. Not like this one.

    fancap_03_640xI like that it’s not simply a flat fan (like you might find in a computer) integrated into the brim, but a fully-formed fan reduced to micro size as if with a shrink ray. The solar panels are sufficient, because in cloudy weather, you won’t need the fan.
