Screwdriver keys have apparently been out of production for the last decade, but now for a mere $4.50, the two-piece blackened steel recreation can be yours one again. I know most of you don't really care about that historial factoid. But there's one dude out there right now sporting a keychain duct taped to a 30-piece Craftsman set. And he is weeping—weeping, I say—with joy. [Screw Key via The Awesomer via BBG]

For those that require more of a jolt, the alarm also comes with four preset nature sounds and an iPod/iPhone dock to add some aural stimulation.
The Wake-up Light isn't just good for getting out of bed, but can help users drift off to sleep as well; there is "dusk simulation" mode that gradually dims the light and sounds to send users to the dream world. The Wake-up Light ships on August 22, but it can be pre-ordered now for $199. [Geeky Gadgets]

While there are other LED gadgets out there that have similar touch technology, this generous gift will surely go a long way in helping alleviate some of the stress that families feel in the waiting room waiting for a child to be born. Now if they could only install one in my local DMV. [Philips]

Philips Electronics Unveils first "Imagination Light Canvas" at the New Mercy Medical Center in Rogers AR;

Encourages Visitors in Waiting Area to "Paint with Light"

Rogers, Arkansas - Philips Electronics (PHG) today unveiled their "Imagination Light Canvas," the first of its kind, during a media tour of the new Mercy Medical Center in Rogers, Ark. The hospital will open its doors on March 16.

The canvas, displayed in the Women's and Children's waiting area, is an interactive light wall, 14-feet long and 6-feet high, that uses touch screen and Philips technologies to animate 1,420 LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights. By using their hands to draw on the wall, visitors can "paint with light", using an entire spectrum of colors and shapes. The images will remain visible for a few minutes and then disappear. The Imagination Light Canvas can accommodate up to six people drawing at the same time, yet only consumes the daily energy equivalent of a single toaster.

The Light Canvas is a gift from Philips employees to the patients and staff of the new hospital.

Paul Zeven, CEO of Philips Electronics North America, stated, "We wanted our gift to harness some of our advanced technologies that would provide the area residents with a positive, healing experience, delivered in a simple, easy-to-use manner, in keeping with our brand promise of 'Sense and Simplicity.'"

"We created the Imagination Light Canvas specifically for the Women's and Children's waiting room of the new hospital," he explained, "to lessen the tension, anxiety and stress that families often experience when waiting for child birth. We predict it will be a big hit with both children and adults."

Susan Barrett, president of Mercy Health System of Northwest Arkansas, stated, "Mercy is extremely grateful to Philips for helping us transform the healthcare environment for our visitors."

The new Mercy medical campus represents an extraordinary effort to transform the way healthcare institutions function. On one hand, it involves core issues such as patient safety and workplace simplification as well as the application of information technology to fundamental processes such as medication management and supply chain management; on the other, it entails replacing a 50-year old building with a new facility that will enable Mercy to continue its mission.

She might be needing some of those breakthrough plastic batteries we told you about earlier today. – Charlie White

The MC108 is pretty much a bare bones Hi-Fi system that plays back CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs (wow, hello 1999). That alone isn't going to win Phillips any new fans, but the system's design may just win with the cooler-than-the-room crowd. Made out of three cubes, two of which are speakers with the third housing the backlit LCD, the MC108 lends itself to be placed at crazy, new age angles in your room, causing your friends to comment on how "far out" and "cool" you are.

Phillips' MC108, which as of now is only available in the UK, also features an FM radio and alarm clock. If anyone speaks Dutch, make sure to ask Phillips how much they're charging for their CD player, since such information is nowhere to be found on the company's Web site. – Nicholas Deleon
