Honey, have you seen my lightsaber USB drive ? Haha, what do you mean it’s in your panty drawer? These USB lightsabers come in red and green, light up when you plug them in and will set you back $20 for 1GB of storage. Amazingly, they’re actual Lucasfilm licensed products from Japan. Really? Because I would have manufactured the same thing, not gotten any licensing rights, and sold them as lightswords BECAUSE I’M A RUTHLESS BUSINESSMAN. Don’t believe me? Then why did I just kill my secretary? Wait, why did I just kill my secretary? I’M ROOFLESS, YOUNG’N! ThinkGeek Product Site via Lightsaber Flash Drives [ohgizmo]

Ghost Lamps from designer Tim Baute look like they’re hovering . Plus, unlike most shit you see that’s cool, they’re actually available for sale ($250 for a small, $275 for a large) and go perfect with a Ghost Table . Just don’t ask me how the illusion works. But if I had to guess I’d say it has something to to with anti-gravity lampshades. Or sorcery. Probably sorcery (I applied the scientific method). Brilliant lamp design creates illusion of zero-G [dvice]

Party Rats are little light-emitting rings in the shape of rats you wear when you’re high on ecstasy at a rave and want to impress the girl with the candy necklace on. Just remember: spirit fingers!! What? You haven’t heard of Party Rats! You’re kidding, right? They’re the best thing to happen to partying since the mirror ball. People of all ages are putting these colorful, plastic, rodent lights on their fingers and waving their hands in the air like they just don’t care. Each 1-3/4″ long rat sends out a different colored beam of light, allowing you to create your own personal light show! Also great for the latest computer craze, night blogging! Ah, yes, night blogging. And a guy who’s no stranger to sitting at his computer all hours of the night with his pants around his ankles….SHUT UP THAT’S HOW I DO IT, OKAY?! Don’t question my creative process. Also, one time I bit through a glowstick and didn’t know until the tube was empty. Yeah, my urine glowed . Product Site Thanks to Nathan, who had actual lasers implanted in the tips of his fingers and is blind in one eye from rubbing it. You gotta think before you act, Nathan.

Iowan (someone from Iowa, that wasn’t word wizardry) Kris Marshall covers his truck with around 3,000 Christmas lights and supplies them with power via gas powered generator in the bed. And let me tell you: if you’ve got a gas-powered generator in your bed, the sex toys are getting out of hand got out of hand a long time ago. “It’s totally illegal and almost all the cops are cool with that. Almost all… some of them don’t get it. Last night I met two cops in four minutes and they just smiled. I think I’ve got most of them trained.” With the exception of a few tickets for illegal use of lights, the only other downside to The Christmas Truck is when one of his sons decides to use it for a date. “If you’re picking up your girlfriend in the Christmas truck and she’s not expecting the Christmas Truck that can be a dealbreaker.” What in the — what kind of woman wouldn’t want to ride in the Christmas Truck? I mean, besides the ones with any taste or decency. Or teeth. Come on, we are talking Iowa here (do meat and potatoes rot teeth?). Hit the jump for several more shots of the holiday spirit.

This is a screenshot of some kid playing ‘Christmas Light Hero’ on the front of his (parents’) house. And I thought I was a crazy Christmas decorator (I am, I wander around the front yard in my bathrobe cackling)! According to the Daily What, Ric Turner, a former Disney ‘imagineer’ and special effects specialist, turned his yard into a game of Guitar Hero, built out of 21,268 lights and LEDs, that plays Eric Johnson’s “Cliffs of Dover.” To program the show a video recording was made of a perfect round of Guitar Hero playing Eric Johnson’s Cliffs of Dover. The timing of all the dots and the light show choreography follow that video. When you play, you watch only the Christmas lights, but the audio you hear is from the Wii, so your flubs are broadcast for all to hear (people in cars can tune 99.1 and crank it up as loud as they want.) Wow, that’s….impressive. Not as impressive as wiring up a homemade ‘Rock Band, Holiday Edition’ using EVERY HOUSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, but it’s not bad for an amateur effort. It is sooooo on, Ric! (I have all the giant inflatables, just sayin’). Hit the jump for the video of the lights in action.

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]

A mysterious light appeared in the sky above Norway last night, causing many citizens to call the Meteorological Institute and others to go back to bed . Me? Suspecting it was a time portal, I would have strapped on a rocketpack and flown right into the middle of it. DINOSAURS HERE I COOOOOOOME! Witnesses from Trøndelag to Finnmark compared the amazing sight to anything from a Russian rocket to a meteor or a shock wave - although no one appears to have mentioned UFOs yet. The phenomenon began when what appeared to be a blue light seemed to soar up from behind a mountain. It stopped mid-air, then began to circulate. Within seconds a giant spiral had covered the entire sky. Then a green-blue beam of light shot out from its centre - lasting for ten to twelve minutes before disappearing completely. Many are claiming the lights were caused by a Russian missile launch gone wrong, but I think there’s a simpler, must more logical explanation: evil wizard mad scientist. Hit the jump for a bunch more pictures and two videos of the laser light show (mystery solved) in action.

The $25 Illuminated JetBib from ThinkGeek is by far the greatest advance in baby-feeding technology since the tit. 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. But seriously, I think you can tell I’d make a great father. ThinkGeek Product Site via JetBib: Baby food, you’re cleared for landing [dvice]

Apparently battery-powered illuminated liquor bottles are becoming all the rage. They’re supposed to grab your attention when you’re trying to decide what to order at the bar . Yeah, TOO BAD I ALREADY KNOW WHAT I WANT (one of everything — and keep the cherries coming). Ballantine’s new “Listen to Your Beat” campaign includes an electroluminescent label with graphic equalizer display. Designed by London-based “The Core,” this label is more evidence of a trend towards animated, self-illuminating liquor labels. Similar to these battery-powered T-shirts, audio references seem to occur frequently in youth-oriented liquor packaging. ( The J&B bottle above is another example .) You know if you really want to sell liquor you don’t need ridiculous gimmicks like light-up bottles. No, what you need is me. I could sell firewater to a teetotaler AND get him to drink it. CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! Aaaaaand you’re vomiting on my shoes. Now wipe your mouth, we’re doing it again. Hit the jump for several videos of light-up bottles in action.
