Circuit board LED tie

Posted in Apparel by Conner Flynn on May 5th, 2011

We’ve seen cool circuit board patterned ties before, but this one is the coolest. Why? Because this one actually lights up. The lights almost make it seem like a real circuit board. Now if you could just add ram and upgrade the processor, it would be complete.

A great pair of light up cuff links would complete the look and make you entirely geek chic. Pretty awesome attire if you ask us. Hopefully it’s quality made and will last a while.

Posted in monitors by Conner Flynn on April 28th, 2011

BIAS lighting, in case you don’t know, is not lighting that favors some individuals over others. (Although some cameras can make it seem this way.) BIAS lighting is lighting located behind a monitor, so that you aren’t staring at a bright monitor in complete darkness around it. They help reduce eyestrain.

Antech has a new bias light that uses LED lights and is affordable at just $12.95. It has six LEDs on the back that create a nice soft glow behind your screen. The light will fit a screen of up to 24-inches and is powered by a USB port. Your eyes will thank you.

Tokyoflash radiation level LED watch

Posted in Watches by Conner Flynn on April 28th, 2011

With the recent disaster in Japan, many radiation detection devices have recently surfaced and here’s another. Though this one is less useful in letting you know if there is radiation in the area or not. It just uses the same theme. Right now it’s still just a concept, but the radiation level LED concept watch looks pretty cool.

The watch face looks amazing. You can tell the time using the colorful bars which light up. There’s also a charging indicator to let you know when it is charging. Cool watch, but some people may not want reminders about radiation every time they look at their watch.
