“Turn your lights down low And pull your window curtains; Oh, let Jah moon come shining in – Into our life again…” Bob Marley fans would recognize those words in a heartbeat, and while I am not that much of a Marley fan, this song has been playing in my head for the longest time. [...]
Imposter! Iron Samurai Japanese LED watch you can easily tell the time on
Posted on December 8, 2009 Written by 2 Comments
I love Japanese watches though I’ve never owned one and they’re not usually the easiest timepieces to actually tell the time with — not to begin with anyway. Yet here comes a definite imposter. Take a look at the Iron Samurai red LED watch and you’ll see that it features standard digits. OK, so the [...]

Long-time Forever Geek readers will know that we have a special interest in cool watches, particularly the amazing variety of head-scratching timepieces from Japan.

Benq Offers Black Friday Discount for the GP1
Posted on November 12, 2009 Written by Leave a Comment
Earlier in the year, we posted about the Benq GP1, an ultraportable LED projector which came out in the market this June. I actually have this projector (thanks to Benq), and I must say I’ve found it very useful when going to clients’ offices for presentations. It’s lightweight, quite bright, and simple enough to use.

Interactive LED coffee table could be so much more
Posted on October 30, 2009 Written by Leave a Comment
At one level I like the idea of this coffee table. Yes, it’s ludicrously expensive — $1,500 for a small table up to $2,100 for a large one — but it has a certain cool factor to it. It contains 480 super-bright LEDs and 24 infrared optical sensors to provide visual feedback when an area [...]
LEDs in shower show temperature and time left
Posted on May 15, 2009 Written by Leave a Comment
Here’s a neat little idea which was initially designed to be used in public showering areas, particularly ones you have to pay for. The shower controls and the shower head are both fitted with LEDs that are used to show how much time is remaining, and also what the temperature of the water is.

I bet you’ve always wondered if you could get hold of a storage jar that glows in the dark and doesn’t require batteries to be changed? The Moon Jar is just that. It’s a solar-powered LED light source that glows either blue or amber. Leaving it outside during the day will charge it up, ready [...]
Kenwood create glass speakers: looks over performance
Posted on April 17, 2009 Written by Leave a Comment
Does Kenwood make washing machines, because when I first saw these speakers that’s what I thought they were modelled on. These are glass speakers with white and blue LEDs, and they can even be supplied with some stands that also have lights built in. Trouble is, they cost close to $1,000 and yet they only [...]
