When the Finger won't do...give 'em the Digit

WIWI: I've found that as effective as hand gestures are at communicating with other drivers when you're on the road, they have their limitations. I can't count how many times my "thanks!" wave has been mistaken for the "I've been a bonehead" slap on the head. And, they don't work very well at night.

This LED emoticon from ThinkGeek.com may be the perfect solution. You can tell this thing to flash a happy face or a sad face to the driver behind you, as well as to say "Thanks," "Back Off," and "Idiot." If only you could hack it to customize the messages.

ThinkGeek does note that it may not be legal in all states (Sorry, Tennessee!!!). I suspect mine (Minnesota) is one in which this might be contraband.

functional decorating is fab

WIWI: i hate hate hate dealing with wiring. messy and ugly and the whole chance of electrocution is offputting. but wires this pretty might make a good sound system project worth it.


FlatWire is thinner than a business card and yet flexible enough to bend to any angle required for a customized installation. This technology has the same or better performance as conventional wiring.
And most uniquely, when FlatWire is installed correctly, it becomes virtually INVISIBLE.
FlatWire will forever change the way we think about wiring, decorating, redecorating and even new construction. We no longer have to compromise our vision of a room based on the location of outlets or how easily we can move them.
