Party Rats Finger Lights

In a club, you most likely won’t have much lights aside from the blinding lasers and spotlights that blink endlessly towards everyone. Add a dancing pole and the show is sure to be away from you. Well it is not really a bad thing, but you certainly want to be in the circle of attention. While it is not expected that you have a whole lights system, having some little flash on your hand might bring some attention to you.

Give it up to the finger lights. These multi-colored thingiemajig would certainly call everyone’s attention. All you have to do is to go to a party and have all the fun that you want. When you’re a little drunk and ready to ditch all of your feelings to get into the center of attention, just wear these rat shaped finger ornaments and wave you hands in the air. Not really sure with the manufacturer’s choice of using rats, but each set comes with five colors – white, yellow, red, green, and blue.

Aside from partying, you can also use this for some night blogging! The manufacturer states that the product is “ideal” for bloggers. Just wear this and you have now little spotlights aimed at the keyboard so you don’t make typos when writing. Well that’s weird because you just need to turn on the lights and you see the full keyboard already. Maybe for vampire bloggers out there, this would work.

“Plant Twitter” Household Plants are now Online!

Can you imagine getting a Twitter message from your plants reminding you to give them some water when you get home? Well, you don’t have to imagine it, because that technology is now available for purchase. The Chief Scientist at CERN was attempting to converse with a patch of catnip when he realized that the Twitter technology would be perfect for communication.

It connects to the Internet through a built-in Ethernet jack then metal leads stick into the plant’s soil and transmits directly to the plants Twitter feed. It communicates when it needs watered, whether it is overwatered, and then thanks you afterwards.

This product is similar to the “Blogging Plant” that was introduced last year, but the Twitter plant actually communicates at all times. It will send a Twitter message the moment it needs assistance and give gratitude the moment it is fulfilled. Currently this technology is sold as a kit, meaning you will need a soldering iron, and some patience. For $99 you get the fun of communicating with your plant via the internet and creating the technology that made it possible.

This product won’t “change” lives, but it does make life a little easier. If you are like me and definitely not blessed with a “green thumb”, then you kill most of your plants, you forgot to water them or didn’t realize they were in trouble until it was too late. This technology makes it possible for those with “green thumb” handicaps to become responsible plant owners.
