magic.

this video makes me wish that i was a lot more organized. makes me wish that i could ever have bookshelves that look as beautiful as this. maybe one day. for now, i can just watch this:

huey (minus lewis and the news)

1. i love lamps

2. i don't love chameleons BUT

3. how could you not love this color copying/changing chameleon lamp?!

i am told that through the magic of two white LEDs, Huey lights the surface he is on, and then uses an optical sensor to determine the correct color. just sounds like magic to me. however it works, i'm pretty sure i need this as a nightlight.

ps: to witness the awesomeness of this color changing lamp yourself, i highly recommend that you watch the video in the link above.

dear gizmodo: thank you for introducing me to these goggle umbrellas. not only are they adorable, they come in some of my favorite colors! who doesn't want to be ensconced in the waterproof protection of an umbrella while also being able to spy on the world around you? i sure as heck do. add this to the birthday list please! also, i can't believe gizmodo failed to point out the periscope top on the umbrella. i assume it doesn't actually work, but is still a great feature.
