Carry A 17 LED Lit Torch

I’ve always wanted one of the light boxes you see ominous bad guys carrying into dungeons. You know the kind, that has the handle on top and hangs in front of you. Well according to SourcingMap.com, I can realize that dream. The device is illuminated by 17 led lights under a glass fixture.

Check this video out to see it in action:

Portable DVD Player…Or A Walkman?

In the technology world, small = bigger, and less (somtimes) = more. You want your DVDs to play on the smallest possible platform necessary. For discs of its size, it doesn’t get any smaller than the Walkman. The device is crafted to only fit a disc inside of it and nothing else. This video shows off a DVD/MP4/DivX player that looks exactly like a Walkman. It seems to have all the pieces of a regular portable DVD player, only it’s the smallest one on the market. I’m a bit skeptical of the device, as it doesn’t have a brand name for a manufacturer. Here’s the video though, so you can make the judgement for yourself.

The computer keyboard is the next pieces of technology to get pimped out in LED form. ThinkGeek, has the Luxeed Dynamic Pixel LED Keyboard. I don’t know why they didn’t just call it Rainbow Brite Keyboard though. This LED lit keyboard is different than others of its kind. While most backlit keyboards are just one color, this model lets you change the color of the individual keys. So you can show off your favorite sports team’s colors, show your rainbow pride.

    Padlock That USB Drive

    We in America like to think we have a lock down on the useless crap category of things (the singing bass, Croc shoes, gigantic checks). One visit to Thanko and you’ll see that Japan is right there with us, if not already has us beat. Thanko can be a tough site to navigate, considering it’s written in Japanese. Luckily there are pretty pictures to go by, which is generally enough to find the greatest gadgets.

    Thanko’s newest addition is the Padlock USB drive. From a far away distance, the device looks like a mini electrical shaver but it’s actually a padlocked usb storage device. You want to make sure those pictures of your love affair with the landscaper stay secret? Then slap this padlock contraption onto your USB device and live worry free.
