Inexpensive Illumination: Glow in the Dark Keyboard Stickers

glowinthedark-525

Not everyone is in the financial position to buy a keyboard with illuminated keys. That shit can get expensive. Macbooks might come stock with illuminated keys, but my Dell POS sure as hell doesn’t. What if I’m high off my ass in the dark and can’t remember my QWERTY hand placement? Not a pleasant situation.

These Glowing Keyboard Stickers, made of high quality florescent print, eliminates the need to buy a brand new keyboard just to have a little illumination in your life. They reflect any ambient light, even the glow of your monitor, providing an awesome, and more importantly, cheap alternative.

Combat boot specialists Doc Marten have unveiled their awesome “The Skelly” pair of glow-in-the-dark combat boots. Even if you haven’t had the chance to rot in the ground for a few millenia, you can still feel like a hardcore undead creature walking among the living. Damn air breathers.

The coolest feature is that your bones will have a special talent which normal undead bones don’t have – the ability to glow in the dark like some sort of zombie nuclear experiment.

Via Lattea Furniture Gives You That Healthy Radioactive Glow

mario-bellini-2

Air-filled furniture isn’t known for its flawless comfort. I’ve spent some pretty hellish nights on air-mattresses. I could only imagine the experience would have been even worse if the mattress itself was glowing like some radioactive mutant. Thankfully the Via Lattea collection by Meritalia doesn’t include a mattress.

Instead, this glowing set of furniture exudes a totally chill glow. If you’re scared of the dark and just need proof that you haven’t fallen into a dark abyss, these pieces would be perfect for your home decor.

Cord Plug Redesigned

One of the most dangerous things you do on a daily basis (besides drive your automobile) is fiddle with the power cords of home appliances. You never know when pulling that cord will result in a tear and a powerful shock that you’ll certainly remember. Good thing designer Kim Seung Woo has redesigned the standard power cord with a glow-in-the-dark ring. And no, this hole is not for fucking.

The ring makes finding the socket and unplugging the cords, day or night, an easier task than ever before. No more deadly volts coursing through your body, sir!

Nooka To Offer Glow-in-the-Dark Watch in August

If you have any taste in pop culture whatsoever, you surely heard about Kanye West’s amazing “Glow in the Dark” Tour. 15 of these badass, crazy-lookin’ watches were made especially for the tour and probably fell into the hands of N.E.R.D. and Rhianna. Luckily, Nooka realizes these will be a hot consumer item and is planning a limited edition August release.

Keep an eye out if you really want this 1999-esque raver candy. No word on price but I bet it won’t be affordable.

If you can deal with the life-altering mutations and the screams of children as they gaze upon your disfigured face, there are some benefits to living right next to a nuclear power plant. One of the coolest being that cool natural glow. These XCM Magic Night Glow replacement covers for your PSP make the portable console look like it has been sitting next to a reactor a little too long with a glow in the dark sheen.

All you have to do is leave the PSP out in the sun for a few minutes, shut off all the lights, and watch as the PSP glows a bright shade of green, blue, or orange. The color selection is your choice, and luckily, you and your mutated face can order the covers right online, without leaving the comfort of your very own cage. Grab your own for about $25 each.

Though I decided to wear a condom, some of you may have kids and could possible have an electrical outage sometime in the near future. Am I being vague enough? Good. Because you’re going to want to scoop up a few of these Glow-in-the-Dark Doorknob Grips.

At $18 a 4-pack and made from soft latex-ish material, they’ll help your kids sleep better (no boogeymen!) and will go perfect with that solar panel lightbulb on their desk. No static electricity shocks are always a plus if your house is carpeted.

Brightec paper glows in the dark, brings back Halloween

brightec paper

Glow-in-the-dark. Everything that glows in the dark can be turned into a toy for little kids to play with. Then come the glow sticks. Way more fun, until someone decides that it might be really cool to cut it open, and most of the time, scissors aren’t around so they use their teeth. Good times. Now there is a glow-in-the-dark paper that uses ambient light to charge some kind of patented pigment that can illuminate whatever is on the paper for a few hours. Sounds cool, right? What use do you have of this kind of technology? Not really any use. It’s a cool little thing to show to people, but it doesn’t have much of a practical use in our homes. If you broaden the playing field to military, you might have a shot. At $10 and $20 for a 4×6 or 8×11 sheet of paper, respectively, the coolness factor goes right down the drain just as your money would if you bought more than one sheet. With more and more useless technologies coming out, what is there to do? It’s probably best to pass them on and keep looking for new pastures. — Nik Gomez
