The Walk N’ Clean slippers have microfiber dreads attached to the bottom so that your high traffic areas will be dust free. This reminds me a lot of the infamous baby floor cleaning system.
I’ve actually seen these slippers in stores. I believe it was at Wal-Mart, but my memory sucks, so don’t quote me on that.
These are probably pretty slippery um.. slippers, but since we’re looking at stuff that cleans for you while you go about your daily activities, why not make pool toys that double as pool cleaners? Swim fins with leaf catchers or something like that? Of course then, you’d have to swim in the dirty pool, so maybe that isn’t the best idea.

I like innovative homemade inventions as much as the next guy, maybe even more. Unfortunately, when it comes to DIY, a little style can go a long way.
Take this jacket for example- it combines a camera, an LCD and a jacket to form a flank monitoring system. Unfortunately, there are problems with this design.
First, it’s ugly. If it is intended to prevent a rear assault, then I proclaim that this is an epic fail, is the design is more likely to provoke an attack due to the extreme dorkiness involved. This jacket might as well be called the bully magnet.
Second problem: Summer. I can think of three months out of the year that would make you very uncomfortable while wearing this, and three more that would make you very passed out from heat exhaustion. Granted, I live in Arizona. We wear shorts and t-shirts in October.
Third problem: Rain. I wouldn’t want to get my fancy LCD or camera wet.
This leaves you with a jacket that you can’t wear about half the time more or less, depending on the climate in which you reside. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention reason number four: this jacket is ugly as sin. I wonder what this guy wore before he invented this?
A flank-monitoring thanks goes to the Geekologie writer for writing about this first. Hey, I think that’s him coming up behind me right now- time to look inconspicuous!

Here’s a concept that may make you jump for joy (or to quickly charge your headlights). These shoes have LED lights in front to illuminate your path, and they harness the wearer’s movements as a source of energy. The headlights make the ground visible for five feet, and the back of the shoe has a green taillight, for no apparent reason. This reminds me of the stupid criminal who got caught because he was wearing shoes that had lights in them a while back.
