When Religions Collide: A Star Trek Menorah

When Religions Collide: A Star Trek Menorah

I have no idea if Star Trek is actually a religion but I say yes and from now on you will too or I will punch you so hard you bruise before I even make First Contact . See what I did there? I’m so wicked. Anyway, this is a Star Trek themed LED menorah. Sacrilegious or not? I actually don’t really know a whole lot about Judaism (despite dating a Jewish girl briefly in highschool), but I think it’s actually kosher to have a themed menorah. Get it, kosher ? I didn’t say I didn’t learn anything! Star Trek LED Menorah Design is Nine Times as Geeky [walyou]

The bib and wing tips feature flashing LEDs to ensure a smooth flight and that all food aboard Gerber flight B4BY makes it safely to the hanger. Plus, the spoon end is removable for easy cleaning. That’s just smart product design right there. WW2 flight helmet and goggles optional, but highly recommended. Uh-oh — bogeys at nine o’clock! Dinner’s at seven. AND DON’T BE LATE. BARREL ROLL, BARREL ROLL! Little help over here, Fox McCloud! RAT-A-TAT-A-TAT! BOOM! I’ve been hit — eject, EJECT! WHEEE EEEE EEEE!! Great, now the baby’s crying.

Starry Nights Baths: Nirvana LED Bathtub

Starry Nights Baths: Nirvana LED Bathtub

I haven’t taken a bath since I was too short to see over the side of the tub , so I don’t need a fancy bath fixture. But maybe you do. I heard women take a lot of baths because it makes shaving easier. Speaking of which, what do women shave anyways? I suspect it’s their chests! The Nirvana Bathtub is basically an normal tub that’s been outfitted with 360 LED lights on the surface. Touch controls allow you to adjust the lights as well as the water, and a hand shower is motion activated. Pfft, screw a LED tub — I’m holding out for a laser bath! I’m gonna get all prune-y and blind at the same time . Just sayin’, vision is for the weak and I can benchpress the bar plus 45lbs on each side! Nirvana bathtub combines a bathtub and a planetarium [dvice]

Keychain LEGO Minifigs Hide A Bright Secret (Read: They Got LED’s In Their Feet, Fool!)

It made me feel funny. Good funny. Down there. The tips of my toes, silly! Now rub them. DO IT NOW! Product Site via LEGO Minifig With LED Feet [ohgizmo]

*Ring* Hello — Death?: Novelty Skull Phone

I honestly thought novelty phones went out of style when people stopped using land lines, but hey, maybe your grandparents want a damn skull phone . That’s cool. Just don’t let them get on the interwebs lest they hand their life savings over to a Nigerian prince. Anyway, the $25 Thriller Skull Phone from Brando is available in white and metallic copper finishes and has blue LED eyes that light up when the phone is ringing. Sadly, it’s not even cordless. WHO THE HELL STILL USES CORDED PHONES? Fun fact: I saw a payphone the other day. Did you know we still had those? Me neither. There was a hooker standing nearby and everything. brando’s thriller skull phone: so this is what happened to skeletor [technabob] Thanks to FDSY and cakey, who make all their calls the old fashioned way: by yelling.

Pimp Out Your Bike Wheels With Monkeylectric

Pimp Out Your Bike Wheels With Monkeylectric

Looking to add some flashy flair to your bicycle but already have a sweet horn? How about some LEDs for your wheels ? Monkeylectric bike LEDs are capable of producing cool designs, including, and not just limited to: stars and shit. It’s essentially a AA battery-powered 256 RGB system that straps to a bike’s spokes and has a sweet spot of between 8 and 20 mph: At 8, you’ll just start to see the patterns in the center, and at 20 the light show will have taken over your entire wheel. It’s customizable, but only to a point, as you have to use the on-board buttons to alter the patterns rather than loading images via USB or whatever. A kit costs $60, which isn’t really too bad considering all the seizures you’ll cause. I just ordered two. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? If you answered, “a pot leaf on the front wheel and skull & crossbones on the back”, you’re not. I’m going dual mudflap chicks, baby! Hit the jump for a picture of the device and a worthwhile video of them in action.

What A Princess: Bride’s LED Wedding Dress

Some bride , in a bid to be the classiest bride of all classy times , had a dress made with 300 LEDs sewn into the bottom poofy part. And let me tell you, the applause when she turns it on during her first dance is deafening. And how about that song from Armageddon ? I’m not sure if you’ve seen the movie BUT THEY ALL DIE IN THE END. I’m just sayin’, you can’t put a price on looking like a Christmas tree at your own wedding. LED wedding outfits aren’t exactly classy [dvice]

I Told You Id Make It Up To You — And I Keep My Promises: The Tokyoflash Hanko

I Told You Id Make It Up To You — And I Keep My Promises: The Tokyoflash Hanko

Remember when I told you I’d make up for my lack of Tokyoflash posts lately? BA-DOW! I am a man of my word. And, as a man of his word (when his fingers aren’t crossed), here comes Flash’s latest: The Hanko. Sharp black acrylic lenses reminiscent of a Japanese signature stamp give this watch its name and a newly designed stainless steel case with custom curves provide an additional design edge. One touch of the upper button animates the sub-surface LEDs in a clockwise direction before the time is presented. Hours are shown in the centre circle of the watch, groups of five minutes are shown in the outer circle in the same position as numbers on a clock and single minutes are shown in the areas between. Peep the diagram above to better understand how to read the time. The Hanko is available with blue, white or multi-colored LEDs and is one of Tokyoflash’s most moderately priced time-receptacles, at about $97. So it might be a good model to get your feet wet — you know, test the waters. Just be careful of the undertow. It caught hold of me and now I’ve got Tokyoflash watches coming out the wazoo. But — I had to swallow them first. Product Site

Bling Bling: Tokyoflashs Kasai Sensai

I know, it’s been a little while since the last Tokyoflash , and I’m sorry . I never meant for it to go so long . I hope I can make it up to you. Here, here’s some flowers I picked from the neighbor’s yard. Kiss and make up? Maybe just a little peck? Okay, well how about a hug? I promise not to cop a feel this time. Oh — oh — haha, I had my fingers crossed! With a surface made up of positive shapes and negative lines, Sensai has been intricately designed on different levels to create a look that takes the Kisai series to the next dimension. A single touch of the upper button initiates a rotating animation before the remaining LEDs show the time. Twelve red LEDs represent hours, eleven green LEDs represent groups of five minutes and four yellow LEDs represent single minutes. Available now for 240 bones, you can choose either a black or silver case, and black or silver strap. Feel free to mix and match! After all, variety is the spice of life.
