The problem with repairing stuff is that I don’t how to do it. But if there’s one thing I do know about repairing, it’s that whatever it is you’re working on is bound to be dimly lit.

This is how much technology can coddle us: someone’s come up with a charge and sync device for iOS devices that has built-in LEDs to make it easier to plug it in in the dark. I usually just use my iPhone’s own light or feel which end is which, but why go through such arduous processes when you can buy a solution right?

Have you gotten tired of your old watch, or are you actually looking for one to augment your smartphone as your default time-telling device? Check out the DZ7164 from Diesel’s Youngblood line. It’s pretty beefy, and it’s got a cool digital display.

Going green isn’t necessarily difficult, but it is expensive. Being green it’s especially expensive if you’re trying to swap from incandescent light bulbs in your home or business over to LED light bulbs. LED bulbs can cost anywhere from $50 and up, though they do last much longer.

This LED clock was created by Mike Szczys and it’s pretty unusual. It tells time using binary numbers, so if you want to use something like this, better brush up on your binary.

You can either decorate your place with the usual boring furniture or you can go all geek and decorate with things like this amazing Space Invaders floor lamp. It functions as either a nightlight or a decorative light.

Make your LEGO ambulance, LEGO police car and LEGO techno club more realistic with Brick Brites, transparent bricks embedded with LEDs that are compatible with your “favorite construction blocks”, as long as your favorite construction blocks are LEGO.

Ah, Japan. Just when I think your gadgets can’t get any weirder, you birth another oddity for our enjoyment. The latest strange creation to pop onto my radar screen is this – a lamp that looks like one of those intravenous drip bags.

I’ve had my fair share of lucid dreams, although most of these turned out to be some pretty bad nightmares where I was running for my life. Most people I know, however, haven’t experienced many lucid dreams. 

A long time back, I came across a watch that looked like a tiny turntable, and thought it was kind of cool. But I was never that thrilled with the ordinary analog dial on that design.

With the music games out there these days, there are already some high tech ways to learn the guitar. However, most of these don’t let you play with an actual guitar, strings and frets, so it’s not exactly a realistic training experience.

Halloween’s still far off, but a guy going by the moniker Thecnocrat already has one hell of a costume, one that works best in the dark and puts fear in the hearts of billions of people.

Planes and theaters might have lights to guide people to the exits in case of emergency, but most people don’t have that kind of system in their very own homes.

If there’s one thing that the Internet has forced companies to do is to get a little more creative with their marketing. Instead of crappy old TV commercials, vendors are vying for our attention with publicity stunts they hope will go viral online.

I’ve heard about integrating LEDs into clothing, but this is the first time that I’ve seen a snowboarder completely lit up like a Christmas tree. In the short film L.E.D. Surfer, created by filmmaker Jacob Sutton for Nowness, we get to watch Artec pro snowboarder William Hughes going down the French Alps, covered head-to-toe in bright LEDs.

Alarms clocks are a dime a dozen, but this beautiful bedside clock aims to shake things up a bit. Designed and engineered by Paul Sammut, the Nixie Ramos is part of a Kickstarter project featuring two decidedly different versions of the same clock.
