We absolutely love it when cyberspace and meatspace intersect, which is why we're enthused over this Online Notification Picture Frame. It's a DIY project that connects via some interface (the guy doesn't say) to a computer, which feeds online status information back to the display. If a person's online, the LED next to his photo lights up. We'd prefer it if this were a more digital solution like an actual photo frame that dynamically displayed the pictures of people who were online, but this is a good start.

When I saw this come up in my RSS feeds, I thought it said Brian Lam, and so I got rather excited. I was, however, (as I so frequently am) wrong. This lamp is the brainchild of Alexander Lervik, who had an MR scan done in Stockholm of his own grey matter, before printing up the results on a 3-D printer. "Yes," he says about his creation. "It is bright." Oh, no one loves a smart arse, Lervik. [Lervik]

Mudes Lamps Make Me Think of a Prize-Fighting Egg
But I guess that's the drugs talking. Designed by Nicolloe Alves Rincon with teenage girls in mind, these portable, rechargeable Mude lamps will, I guess, have pride of place at slumber parties. Just like our apocalyptic friends on horseback, four knobs control

Intravenous Lamp Turns Your Home Into a Prescription Drug Den
The Lichtinfusion lamp from Christian Maas makes me think of the best insults you can lob at someone who spends too long in front of the mirror (it's too rude for the first para, I'm afraid). With the power cables disguised as the rubber tubes that would normally feed sick little puppies like me their daily dose of Pethidine, the lamp only lacks the wheels to enable your light to travel around the apartment with you.

Color Changing Concert Hall May Be More Interesting Than the Performances
A concert hall has just been unveiled in Aurillac, France, that will be used for everything from sporting events to theater performances. However, the interesting thing about this building is not what is going on inside it, rather, it is what is taking place on the outside. Using a combination of glass bricks and fluorescent lights with color filters, the building displays a serene color spectrum across the entire length of the structure. All that aside, the building itself is beautiful—whether you are looking at in during the day or night. [Dezeen via io9]

Rayzer Lights Video Shows Why They Are a Must for Dark Roads
We kind of knew that the Rayzer auxiliary HID Xenon lights, which get installed between your windshield and rear-view mirror, increase visibility on dark roads. This video shows that a) the difference is spectacular when compared to regular high-beams, and b) people will think they are having a close encounter of the third kind when they find you on the road.

Mobile Light is Solar Powered
The Kyouei Design house has come up with the fantastically titled, Mobile Light, which incorporates a small solar panel bed at one end and a light at the other. Activation is automatically instigated once the ambient light levels fall below a certain threshold, which ensures the stored energy is put to good use quickly. Sure, it may not output enough of the bright stuff for you to make it down the stairs safely, read a book in bed or take a piss without dribbling all about the floor/toilet rim, but that's what the main lights are for.

Philips Electronics has unveiled their Imagination Light Canvas—a 14' long 6' high interactive wall that features 1,420 LED lights animated by touchscreen and proprietary Philips technologies. Visitors to the new Mercy Medical Center in Rogers, Arkansas, will soon be able to "paint with light" using an entire spectrum of colors and shapes. And, despite all of the fancy technology, the entire wall will only consume the daily energy equivalent of your average toaster.

Don't worry though: having a leak from the upstairs apartment or hammering in a nail won't kill you as it offers a range of voltages for low powered devices only. More »

Shiny Shiny Reviews Seasonal Affective Disorder Lights (Verdict: A Bright Idea)
Seasonal Affective Disorder, or winter depression, or "where the hell is the Sun," can be treated by gadgets that mimic the sunlight you're otherwise not getting. The special name for these gadgets is "lamps," or "lights" if you're going strictly scientific. The crazy dames over at Shiny Shiny reviewed two of them and decided (I think) that the lights are great, but using the alarm function to wake up to frogs or static is "rubbish." [Shiny Shiny]

Digital Messaging Light Switch Cover the First of 2008's WTF Products
Parrot's light switch cover with a built-in speaker to relay the digital message of your choice makes me long for a product banhammer, a hefty blunt instrument with which I can bludgeon pointless gadgets to death, entertaining myself and sustaining plastic splinters in the process. Record your 20-second message and then flip either light switch to play it back. Costing $12.97, the good thing is you get four free screws with it. [WorldStart via OhGizmo!]

Man Installs Industrial Power Cable to Power His Griswold-like Christmas Display
When UK-based electrician (go figure) Alex Goodhind found that he couldn't make a cup of tea when his massive Christmas display was turned on, he decided to shell out £700 ($1385) to install a factory-strength 145-amp power line to his home. The display took five weeks to put together, and it will run him about $1000 in additional electricity costs over the course of three weeks. Additional pic and info after the break. More »

Neighbor-Networked Christmas Lights Are Four Shades of Awesome
Whatever Christmas light scheme your dad cooked up as a kid most likely pales in comparison to these four Canadian families, who connected their Xmas lights together in a network-choreographed way. As you can see in the video, the lights go off according to pre-programmed timers (like the water fountains at the Bellagio) that are posted on their website so you can sync your own house up to them. Better yet, you can even log on and change their patterns yourself either from your desktop or your BlackBerry. Best. Lights. Ever. [Calico.whittaker.ca via BlackBerry Cool]
