Color-Changing LED Shower Head Actually Purchasable

The last color-changing, heat-detecting showerhead was some kind of nebulous OEM product from China, but this LED Shower Light is actually purchasable from Thinkgeek. Unlike that one, this only has blue and red, but it works exactly the same: red == hot, blue == cold. Unfortunately, the red in this activates at 89 degrees, which is actually still colder than your body, so unless you like lukewarm showers, this maybe ain't so great after all. [Think Geek]

Official Indiana Jones Fedora Available Now For Nerds Everywhere

The reason that the official Indiana Jones Fedora is available on Think Geek is that only geeks think that they can pull off wearing a fedora in the year 2008. The only fedora you (us) nerds should stick to is Red Hat's version, leaving Indiana Jones' to the still handsome but greying Harrison Ford. If you really do want to pick up your own version for some down-home sexy play, it's $99. Everything's in stock except for X-Large and XX-Large, further proving our point that only overweight nerds will buy and wear this outdoors. [Think Geek]

Another Classy Gadget T-Shirt

We humbly suggest this When In Doubt, Try Another Hole shirt for your annual "please let me keep my Gizmodo" plea to your IT guy. But note that while we condone the apparel, we can't necessarily support the advice. Lest it lead to an awkward night with your spouse, or worse still, their printer/fax. [ThinkGeek via Gearfuse]

Paper E-Mail Revolutionizes Meatspace Communication

Do you want to prove to your office mates that you've got an acerbic wit and great sense of irony? This Paper E-Mail isn't the way to do it. Sure, it's clever to write notes to Bob that look like emails (cc: your mom!), but is it really clever? Is it $3.99 clever? Perhaps. Is it $3.99 plus shipping clever? Perhaps not. Either way, you only get 50 chances per pack to impress. [ThinkGeek via Tech Digest]

Stargate Mirror Lets You Peek into Event-Horizon, Same Old Face Every Morning

This 10-inch diameter Stargate mirror comes with 39 glyphs and nine chevrons to a) give you two trillion planet destinations to travel to, b) show you your hangover face every morning, c) open a wormhole door to an alien army so they can invade and destroy the planet, or d) all of the above. In any case, completely worth the $49.99, as the guy after the jump can attest.

ThinkGeek's Personal Soundtrack Shirt Becoming a Real Product

One of ThinkGeek's many fantastic April Fools' products is now becoming real, following the same path as the 8-bit Tie last year. This one, the Personal Soundtrack Shirt, takes a little bit more engineering effort than a tie, so if you're interested in one you'll have to put yourself on their notification list. But think of it, being able to blast the Imperial March or Magnificent Seven theme or the Get Smart theme whenever you enter a room? That's what we call quality. [Think Geek]

Deluxe Laser Challenge Pro Set Lets You Pew Pew Pew Till You Can Pew No More

If you're going to wage war on your fellow cubicle jockeys, then there are worse ways to do it than using the Deluxe Laser Challenge Pro Set—take it from me, stapling my boss's ear to the office notice board didn't win me any influential new friends when I worked the phones at the Acme Sex Chat Co. One pack consists of two blasters, to each of which you can add on a barrel extender and a scope. You can play it as a lone wolf in Deathmatch mode, and Team Play allows for two lots of gladiators to blast hell out each other. There's a how-to (zap your colleagues) video after the jump, plus price and a bit more info. More »

ThinkGeek Umbrella Shows You the Weather

It's not quite the forecast predicting umbrella design from a year ago, but this ThinkGeek model beats it in the "it actually exists" category. The Ambient Forecasting Umbrella hits up Accuweather.com to fetch the day's forecast, which then gets converted into a small light show on the handle. Flashing blue lights mean it's going to rain or snow, with the speed of the flashing showing how likely it is. It's no Blade Runner umbrella, but it'll keep you dry. [ThinkGeek via Coolest Gadgets]

M.C. Escher's Waterfall Now in a 3D Sculpture and LEGO, Too

If you're a fan of artist M.C. Escher and his "Waterfall" woodcut, here's a scale model that somehow replicates that physically impossible structure. The $59.99 sculpture is six inches high, and will only be made in a limited edition of 500 units. At first we were hoping this was a working fountain, but the laws of physics wouldn't permit that. Take the jump for a look at the original Escher woodcut, and another Escher Waterfall made of LEGO. More »

15-inch Gigantor Digital Photo Frame Comes Cheap

The Gigantor photo frame isn't only big on size, like its name, but it's big on value as well. For $249, you'd normally only be able to get an 11-inch photo frame, but the Gigantor gives you 15 inches of mother-in-law- viewing glory (as opposed to the 19-inch monstrosity that is the PhotoVu). It even has built-in speakers, an IR remote, eight types of memory card support, MPEG1/2/4 video and 1024 x 768 resolution. Gojira would be proud. [ThinkGeek via Crunchgear]
