Lost Value’s LFLECT scarves are a novel idea – they are a mixture of Scottish wool and a reflective material, and so they light up when a car light shines on them. You can also customize the scarves with a message, although from the photos I’m not convinced that the message is all that legible when lit up. Regardless, I love the idea of an attractive, reflective scarf that helps to keep bicyclists safer.

UPDATE: Lost Value clarified that the customized scarf is intended to act as a subtle, private message. Once wrapped around you, the idea is for the message to be closed to your own skin, such as someone saying “I love you”.

A pretty cool idea to track data for everyone/anyone – The Nike+ Fuelband – All your daily activity counts towards an activity index that you can track online.

Wow. Home 3d printing goes next level with the MakerBot Replicator. I wish I were more into 3d modelling and could prototype something interesting.

The HiddenRadio Bluetooth Speaker is pretty sweet – it’s sleek and small, the way I like my speakers.

The HiddenRadio & Bluetooth Speaker is based off minimal, timeless design and user intuition. When asleep it hides all its functions, being silent and unanimated. To turn it on you simply twist and lift the cap; the further you lift the cap the more internal volume is created and will amplify to over 80dB of crystal clear sound. This unique design connects and captivates the user through its intuitive functionality.

I was going to tell you to support their Kickstarter campaign, but it doesn’t look like you need to, since it is waaaaaaaay overfunded (awesome)!

The F³ Folio™ is a nice iPad case made out of raw wood veneers, allowing you to protect, carry and use your iPad, all at the same time. I love the pop of color on the inside of the case. The case can also be modified for businesses to accommodate a credit card reader for point of sale transactions.

I read The Invisible Man over the last few days and I was thinking that being invisible wouldn’t be too much of use in today’s world. With infrared technology like the FLIR E-Series so readily available by civilians, law enforcement, military, and security, a simply visible spectrum invisible man would be caught pretty quickly.

“Wandern im Wissen” (Wandering in Knowledge) is a gorgeous installation between four floors of a library at the University of Bremen. For the last 350 years, the library has served as a source of information for visitors, fulfilling an endless flow of inquiries on a daily basis. “Wandern im Wissen” takes these requests and displays them digitally on a sculpture of folded paper, inspired by the connection between traditional storage medium and the digital information world.

Man, I wish the Lytro wasn’t so expensive ($500+). Because it is an amazing little piece of technology that could change photography forever. The camera captures an image that can be re-focused at any time. Pretty sick. I couldn’t figure out how to get the photo widgets into here, so check out the Lytro Gallery to see some examples of how it works.

If your name is Mr. Freeze, you could probably use a set for your ice lair. If it’s not, you better have some serious coin in your pocket if you want a set of the HK GLA-55 speakers.
