Headhoods are ‘meticulously designed and hand-printed’ hoodies that feature profiles of famous people on the side so that when your hood is on, you can hide from the world and stare back at it at the same time.
They’re also made by ‘one devoted individual in his bustling studio located in a not so desirable part of Brooklyn, New York’ who got the idea ‘from a good coffee buzz’.

Think your Twitter profile is popular enough that it should start making you money?
If so, then TwittAd is here to help.
The service is designed to match users who don’t mind a little product placement and website promotion on their Twitter profile with advertisers looking for a new way to reach eyeballs, and offers Twitter background images that include the sponsor’s logo and information.
Twitter backgrounds don’t include clickable links, so it’s a little bit of a disconnect between the ad and a typical ad measurement statistic like click through rates and page views, but with a lot of companies eager to start using the service to reach a new audience, I don’t think it’s going to be tough to sell the spaces.

Chinny Chin Chin’s Pigeon Ring Necklaces take the band that identifies racing pigeons and turns them into jewelry.
It’s fantastically morbid, and trashy chic, which goes well with the whole pigeon motif.
Would you wear one?

The 2008 Twitter Color Wars has basically taken over the Twitter world recently, and is an interesting adaptation of a technology that, besides things like Color Wars and StrawPoll that people have created, serves no purpose. (Ok, so you can find out someone’s status, but really, where’s the fun in that?)
Twitter Color Wars is basically a popularity contest where the Twitterati rally around a single color and show their support by taking their profile picture in team colors.
The War goes well beyond just a popularity contest though, as games are going to pit teams against each other to compete for total domination.
Game #1 is a round of Bad Ass RoShamBo.
To play, members took a picture of themselves in their team colors throwing their throw of choice, and then uploaded that picture to Flickr with the appropriate tags. Then, a bracket style RoShamBo tournament will be held tonight with a best of three RSB match determining the winner.
I love the fact that this game evolved out of nothing and turned into a something that everyone wants to be involved in. It’s a fun adaptation of a technology that people continue to find uses for, and there’s a lot of potential for additional games.
Which side are you on?
(And to talk a little smack on the other teams, check out SmackTalk.)
Edit: It looks like zefrank is behind it all. Check out the Colorwar story here.
