Lilypad - Build your own Electronic Apparel!
Lilypad - Make your T-Shirt, hat or other apparel into a intelligently reacting garmetn that blinks, beeps or does other thins in reaction to the outside wordl or your movements: an idea with unlimited possibilities!
Leah Buechley has develped kits of computer components that can be sawn on or iroend onto garments and programmed to perform tricks and reaction according to your wishes.
This is a relatively new development, look out for people who blink when they get exited, or hat popoms that change color with the outside temperature... :-)

Nymphaeaceae is a name for a family of flowering plants. Members of this family are commonly called water lilies and live in freshwater areas in temperate and tropical climates around the world. The family contains 8 genera. There are about 70 species of water lilies around the worldhttp://www.science.edu/sg/ssc/detailed.jsp. The genus Nymphaea contains about 35 species across the Northern Hemisphere. The genus Victoria contains two species of giant water lilies and can be found in South America. Water lilies are rooted in soil in bodies of water, with leaves and flowers floating on the water surface. The leaves are round, with a radial notch in Nymphaea and Nuphar, but fully circular in Victoria.
Water lilies are divided into two main categories: hardy and tropical. Hardy water lilies bloom only during the day, but tropical water lilies can bloom either day or night, and are the only group to contain blue-flowered plants.
Water lilies can be fragrant, such as Nymphaea odorata.

Short Biography of Leah Buechley
On her homepage, Leah Buechley tells about herself:"I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Colorado and a member of the Craft Technology Group. My research interests include electronic textiles and wearable computing, tangible interfaces, education, and human computer interaction. I am also interested in art and design, particularly in interactive sculpture.
I received my undergraduate degree in Physics from Skidmore College in 1997 where I also studied theater, dance and photography. My interests in the arts led me to New York City after graduation where I worked at the contemporary art gallery, Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects, for the curator and writer Ingrid Schaffner and for the artists Kunie Sugiura and Rosalind Solomon."

Wearable Electronics and Photonics
-IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, Vol. 22, No. 3, May/June, 2006
Building electronics into clothing is a major new concept that opens up a whole array of multi-functional, wearable electro-textiles for sensing/monitoring body functions, delivering communication facilities, data transfer, individual environment control, and so on. Fashion articles will carry key pads for mobile phones and connections for personal music systems; specialist clothing will be able to monitor the vital life signs of new-born babies, record the performance of an athlete's muscles, and call a rescue team to victims of accidents in adverse weather conditions. In this book, a team of international authors discusses the technical materials and processes that will facilitate all of these possibilities.
