    I'm a Gross, Sweaty Hipster, and I'm a PC

    World-famous DJ/mashup artist Girl Talk (a.k.a. Greg Gillis) has gone on record: he's a PC, and his sweatband may not be totally ironic.

    Glow Brick: Inspiration is Yours for $25

    The Glow Brick is touted as a "cordless nightlight" - a clever way of saying it's not really a light, but a glow-in-the-dark box instead. Powered by magical glow matter called "phosphorescence", the Glow Brick charges from a lamp or sunlight and can provide up to three hours of glowy goodness. That's probably not enough to get you through the 3:30am trips to the bathroom, so you may be forced to go earlier or invest in a plastic bottle. More »
