LEGO Brick Tower Mood Light Builds a Castle of Happiness

These aren't LEGO in the way that actual LEGO are LEGO, but they are translucent bricks that you can stack on top of each other to build structures. In this case, the structure is a tower with a hole in the middle for a light to go, which then passes through the various colors you've set up to induce one of several moods. The redder the construction, the...let's say angrier you'll feel. The yellower, the most you'll feel like taking a whiz. Thirty-five bucks gets you one. [Brando via Geekalerts via Slashgear]

Latest by Purple Dave: @someToast: It's okay. You can make essentially the same thing out of _real_ LEGO bricks, including the lights in the core. Not for $35, mind you, but it _is_ possible. @cyborgtroy: LEGO bricks are made out of ABS plastic (that's acrylonitrile more »

Multicolor LED Panel Won't Get You Laid

Indulge yourself in the blinkenlights of the '60s with this Multicolor LED Panel, harkening back to science fiction movies with computers consisting of panels of blinking lights, and maybe even tossing in a shade of Andy Warhol. And hey, this thing has LEDs in it. It's not as big as you think, though—at just 10 inches tall, its atmospheric effects are decidedly local. Still, it's kind of a cool accent light for $34.99.

reiHuggable Glow Pillows

The reiHuggables may be the nicest light-up pillows we've ever seen on the Giz...which admittedly might not be saying much. Using a hidden switch, the reiHuggables will glow for up to 4 hours at a time, after which time their 4 AA batteries (that you supply) can be recharged. The secret to their magical glow are the .5W LEDs, which will stay cool during operation (to your cat's dismay). For now the reiHuggables are still priceless, but we can't help but to crave their polyester goodness. Damn I love LEDs. They could stick an LED in a 1998 Dell desktop and I'd post it. More »

The USB Squid Hub

No, it's not a USB Squid stick. Unlike that monstrosity, this USB Squid is useful for more than a three second chuckle. It's designed like the power squid, which means it takes one USB port and turns it into four for your convenience. More »

Mind-Reading Music Player

Disney, ever on the prowl for new ideas even if it has to spend billions to buy them, has filed a patent for a media player that monitors your mood and then picks out songs accordingly. As this player suggests a video or song for you, you accept or reject that pick, and then the player learns from that, too. It will do this magic, according to the patent filing, with a wrist band that works like a lie detector. The thing takes note of your body temperature, and if you're sweating and your pulse is racing it's going to dredge up some pretty tense music to go along with that. Or perhaps it will try to calm you down with some trance tracks. Maybe Steve Jobs, as soon as he takes total control over Disney, will incorporate this idea into future iPods. More »

Phun With Phallic Phones

German design house Product Visionaries has created Snaked, a concept for a telephone that doubles as a tool to signal a woman's emotional well-being. Details are intentionally sketchy as to how this unusually-designed device would be actually used, but the idea is the Snaked Phone wraps around various body parts, emphasizing its wearer s babe-osity, while allowing her to place phone calls while talking into her armpit or other anatomical vestibules. The designers call this a symbolic tool to display a well-trained body. Display that body, girl. Yeah. I can see by your telephone s red color that you're feeling pretty good right about now. Call me with that thang as soon as it gets fire-engine red. I got yer snake, right here. More »

Motorola Awards Big Prize to "Mood Phone"


Earlier this week, Motorola crowned the winner of its MOTOFWRD contest, which is devoted to finding the best new technology created by students all over the country. The winner (picking up a $10,000 scholarship, new Bluetooth-enabled car and apprenticeship with Motorola s Chief Technology Office) was John Finan, a Duke University graduate student, who came up with a "Mood Phone" that would be able to help "improve social interactions," especially for those suffering from Asberger's Syndrome, a mild form of autism. The technology would allow for a cellphone to light up in a bunch of different colors depending on what's being said. The warm red to cool blues would then let the user figure out the mood and inflection coming from whomever is speaking, depending on the words and phrases. More »

Radio Changes Color, Moods

The last time I used anything to alter my mood I ended up naked on the roof of KDR screaming the words to MacArthur Park. Therefore, I'm kind of incredulous as to the potential mood-altering capabilities of a radio with a big light on it. More »
