Tokyo Xmas Light Shows Overload Senses, Power Grid
Tis the season to be luminously spankylighty all over the world. Xmas lights are my favorite thing about the holidays. Heck, last year I even bought —and reviewed—a Philips Livingcolors Lamp to illuminate our tree with multicolor goodness, much to Addy's glowing desperation. But hey, I can't help but to get all teary with all this heartwarming twinkling stars. In Tokyo, however, they go from sparkling lights to sensory overloading LED mayhem, like these photos show.

Interview With the Guitar Hero Christmas Lights Guys (With Bonus Videos)
We just talked to the two guys responsible for the Guitar Hero Office Christmas Light Extravaganza and asked them to elaborate on the process of creating such a badass light show. The two guys, Kyle and Colin Bryson, have been using equipment from National Instruments to make automated light shows already, and just took it to another level with the Frets on Fire (the PC Guitar Hero) integration. Check out the full interview and bonus video (playing Through the Fire and Flames, the hardest GH3 song) after the jump. More » -

Why Tech Holiday Gift Guides Are Dumb
I've always been resistant, as an editor, to the idea of a Xmas gift guide. That's because they're a bit cliche; but today, I realized the very practical reason why I don't like them. You have to be crazy to try to shop for a gadget addict by using one of these lists. More »

Guitar Hero + Office Christmas Lights = Crazy Ridiculous

Avoid Getting Screwed by Post-Holiday Clearance Deals
About.com has a good feature about what to look for when determining if those after-Xmas deals are worth buying. Overstock clearance deals and soon-to-be clearance price slashing are considered the best and safest for consumers because the product is expected to work properly. Open box deals and display products receive a red flag, because they could be missing parts, an expiring warranty or be older than you think. [About] -

Solar-Powered Fairy Lights Make Your Christmas Cheap and Green
We've seen solar-powered LED ski suits and interactive solar-powered roof tiles and now you can add that Christmassy touch to your garden with these solar-powered fairy lights.They feature 50 bright white LEDs, and charge automatically during the day to give you around nine hours of light at night. They will set you back $29.95, which is a little steep, but the bulbs will last 10,000 hours, which is enough for several years' fairy-lit evenings. Praying for sun around Christmastime will have never felt so normal. More » -

Imperial Stormtroopers Arrest Santa, Emperor to Take Over Xmas
SANTA'S FACTORY, North Pole (Agencies) - An Imperial Stormtrooper commando broke into Santa's Factory on the North Pole yesterday evening, killing an undetermined number of elves, arresting the owner and confiscating his sled. Joe Kwazansky, local spokesman for the Evil Galactic Empire in Los Angeles, appeared in a press conference this morning confirming the rumors of an Imperial takeover of Christmas' celebrations. "The Emperor wants to assure His subjects that Xmas will continue as planned. The pug-nosed fatso, however, will pay for his crimes," Mr. Kwazansky said amid the palpable shock in the press corps. Apparently, the arrest has occurred in connection with earlier reports on the manufacturing and stealth placement of Weapons of Mass Destruction:

Web-Controllable Holiday Lights Setup is Christmas Spirit Overload
It's the Christmas season, so you know what that means: completely insane, over-the-top lighting displays. Yes, they get crazier every year as front-yard hobbyists figure out how to put more and more tech into their shows to make them even more impressive. One of my personal favorites is "Alek's Controllable Christmas Lights for Celiac Disease," so named because they exist as a fundraiser for Celiac disease research and because you can actually control the entire setup via the Internet.

Doctor Who Dalek Sec Hybrid Voice Changer Mask is Deliciously Disgusting
So, it's official, we're bored by Star Wars gear (yeah yeah, hate mail to addy@gizmodo.com.) Chen is championing Star Trek (yaaaaaaawn) and with there being a lack of BG stuff — you know what I mean: Commander Adama dolls with realistic commando-parts; Cylon toasters, Starbuck frack-wear; Gaius science kits; Raider croissants; Number Six Real Dolls — it's evident that what we need is Who — as in Doctor. Is this Dalek Sec Hybrid Voice Changer Mask better than an Optimus Prime Helmet? Of course it is. More »
