Get geeky in style with black Lego studs
As a kid I was a huge fan of Lego. Even today, I'm smitten with most things that come with a Lego tag, like Lego Star Wars. Naturally these black Lego studs are extremely appealing to me.

So you can be geeky, but discreetly. I love the idea of wearing building blocks as earrings. The black Lego studs come for $15.

Taito presents Chokkan Band
NTT DoCoMo has been in the business long before a certain Apple phone came along. It has been dealing with phones with accelerometers that let you play Chokkan (motion) games, send an email with a flick of your wrist, and use the phone physically to interact with applications. Not all of us own Guitar Hero and some of us don't want to give in to the overly popular game. That's where we can play Chokkan Band (thanks to Taito) with our mobile phones. The sensor on the phone detects movement, making it possible for anyone to use the phone as a guitar, violin or any other instrument you can think of. You can have a nice jam with Chokkan Band. Download songs through their service and have a blast. Check out the video that has a rather strange 'mascot' to promote the game.

Invention of the week: A vibrating toilet seat
So here is another absolutely useless invention. It's the vibrating toilet seat made by Johnny Henry of Laurel, Mississippi. "This invention is designed to stimulate," he told the Laurel Leader Call newspaper. "It's to make you feel good while you are there." Stimulate what? Laughter. There are other little devices made specifically for this purpose. He must have had a lot of free time on his hands to think up a vibrating toilet seat. Wonder if this will ever work. I certainly wouldn't buy it.

Andy Kurovets gets silly with his 'Cycle Life' watch
Andy Kurovets has a rather amusing idea for a watch which he has called "Cycle Life". What he has done here is that he has broken up life into the four segments of an average computer-using persons working day. Each segment is named after the machine most used: TV, PC, or Car. This all begins with a Wake Up and ends with Go To Sleep. Andy says, "It's my watch-joke. A clock demonstrate boring and of the same type life of modern man and call to be thoughtful above sense of our life and order of things, which can be designated one pose (sitting) and three objects. The design of clock is executed as 4 segments of working day. Every temporal interval is represented in the name of object, which in this period is used (car-PC-TV). Every person form megapolis is acquainted with a vital rotation waik up- way on work-computer-motion from work- TV-sleep."
24-hour party heels are here
If you are a party girl who just can't do without her high heels, you know the agony the morning after a party can bring. You will no doubt thank Aimie Whiting, a student from a New Zealand university who has been observing party behavior and has come up with three-inch polyurethane high heels, which compress when they are worn, and relieve pressure on sore feet. She is a party girl herself, so she knows exactly how painful it used to be to shake a leg on the dance floor. She says, "Fashion shouldn't have to hurt! I like wearing high heels, and I like going out - I thought, there has got to be some way to make them comfortable." Her design cushions, which sit beneath the heel and ball of the foot, compressing and expanding like squash balls underfoot. Since the plastic extends down inside the hard outer layer of the shoe's heel, it allows the shoe to flex slightly with every step. Unfortunately, the 24-hour party heels are only a prototype at the moment. Hopefully, they will be available soon and we can heave a sigh of relief.

No one will even glance at ordinary mugs after looking at this. The light emitted by the mug won't affect the beverage in it.

The Gucci UNICEF Tattoo Heart Collection launches on November 19
Gucci is conducting its fourth annual campaign to benefit UNICEF. For this rather generous occasion, a special white version of its Tattoo Heart Collection has been launched. The spunky bags sport Gucci's iconic heart and rose design, a colorful print, which looks bold against the white background. "I love the idea of a heart being tattooed onto the handbags," explained Gucci's creative director Frida Giannini, who has been involved in Gucci's annual charity line since 2005. "It's a permanent mark that you can wear with pride that stays with you. I think that represents very well what we are doing here. This is not a one-off program, but rather an ongoing commitment to the incredible work that UNICEF is able to achieve. It's really our chance to give back." I really like this bag; it's something edgy and full of attitude.

Web-cams are turning into a playground of designers to unleash their creativity. Check out this stylish UFO shaped web-cam for instance. Besides looking great, it has bonus features like a microphone, fan and built in LED lights. It is a plug and play video camera and it lets you have video conversation in superb high quality and speed. I like the idea of the soft safety blade fan; it'll make those hot days so much better. The two white LED lights are a nice little touch too.
