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

Filed under: Design, Misc. Gadgets

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.

Glow Gaming: If Your PSP Was Found Next To A Nuclear Power Plant

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.

Turn My Knob and I’ll Light Up

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

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
