Interesting reads, thanks for sharing. I particularly liked the focus on the definition of "room temperature" and how it changes around the world. I think the biggest obstacle to moving from heating the home to better insulating the body, lies with how these technical clothings are naturally more expensive than their "regular" counterparts. That probably discourages many potential buyers.

Side note: I love the idea of low tech magazine's server being solar powered and only working from time to time, depending on the weather.
