Generative art made easy, right there in the browser. I don't know whether to be more excited by the technology or the lovely products.

I love the concept of an "iBand" for the iPhone, but am a little bit dubious about the level of sophistication for the users. I'm sure they'll get both my money and my interest anyway. (_If_ it matches the OGOT price.
I don't usually care about games, but these things really look to hit the right level of casualness for the iPhone.
After she asked me how to delete users, I found this on Joyent's Codesnippets:

This really impressed me: cutting power usage by over 75% for a full lighting/video rig on tour:
The full system (including video) is exclusively LED and uses 140A 3phase (420A in total) when turned on fully. It's worth pointing out that LED lighting uses Red, Green and Blue LED's to make colours, with all 3 being on 100% to make white, therefore any colour effect only uses a percentage of the power. Traditional lighting uses a subtractive colour creation, with filters placed in front of a white source to remove the unwanted colour - therefore, in the case of red for example, using 100% of the power for a third of the light output.
