My friend Dennis once told me a story about drinking in Japan. Turns out after a few rounds, he did a shot of 2C-E and the night turned into a grooved out trip. Thanks to the bright lights of Tokyo and Akihabara, he was able to roam the streets with something interesting to gaze at for a few hours. Unfortunately, ...

LED lights are truly awesome. And not just because they’re adorably small and glow in pretty hues. Mostly, it’s because you can use them to create magic messages in the air using rapid movement. We’ve seen it before, though in the form of a LED Magic Wand. But what’s the fun in just moving your hand back and forth like ...

Waking up sucks. As much as you don’t want to admit it, every time you hear the alarm clock ring in the morning you cringe. Your body ceases to move and you unhappily stretch your arm out so you can hit the almighty snooze button. Day after day you’ll be subjected to this torture unless you happen to fashion a ...

How many times have you walked out of your house in the morning without checking the weather, only to be stuck in the rain later that day, sans an umbrella? You really suck at life sometimes.

The LED Safety Glasses have a sleek design and a set of LEDs strapped to the side for better vision. Whether your trying to score with the client ...

Whenever I see a skateboard, I can’t help but drift down memory lane to circa 1995, when me and my homies were chilling on the curb, sipping on Gatorade, trying to work out how to get our damn skateboards off the concrete without breaking our necks. Every time we tried to perform the simplest trick, we would fall on our ...

Nose studs are cool right? How ’bout having an LED light on, hmm are you going to shove a battery up that nose? Some dude in Israel has got it all figured out, and they called it the Firefly. The Firefly LED nose stud is powered by electricity generated from your breathing airflow? (check out the tiny turbine above) Next ...

When the term “data beaming” was coined, people can’t help but to think that there’s an actual beam between 2 devices that travels and carries the data across. In actual fact this does not happen unless you wear infrared-enabled night spectacles. This morning National (Matsushita) demonstrated the new Visible Light Communications technology (VLC) at the International Lighting Fair. As the ...

Mosquito bites suck. There are no if-ands-or-buts about it. Aside from the possibility of contracting malaria or dingue fever, those bumps itch like hell. Leave it to the geeks to create a cool solution to this problem. The Dynamo Mosquito-Repellent LED Flashlight makes for a sweet flashlight, and it only costs $9. So the LED works great, you just turn ...
