LED tank take 2

What — fashion and AI brought together in a garment and we don't have several in our closet already?

The shirt is actually a wearable "board" for the cellular automata-based Game of Life, for those of you math geeks in the house. This project finally gives a definitive answer to the conundrum of what to get the fashionable mathematicians in your life (a perennial Ask Engadget favorite).
