Neal clicked on a Gizmodo link to look at some headphones on the Urban Outfitters Web site, but before looking at the headphones, he clicked another link that said Swim 2008. He called me over to show me what I think is the best use of the Web to display apparel for sale on the Web I've ever seen. Each swimsuit is displayed as a short movie clip and it kind of reminds me of the artwork at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies. It's worth a look and so are the headphones.

The headphones in question are called Grandes and they're designed by Boosted Mobile. The look like DJ headphones, but they're made for use with portable media players and MP3 playing cell phones. They also have a push to talk button for answering calls and they remind me of Punky Brewster.

I spent most of Brief 335 highlighting an open source project proposed by Chris Pirillo. I'm in. I want to do whatever I can to help make his vision happen. It's a great, and much needed idea.
