SolidAlliance goes psychic with Aura Controller orb
If you thought Asus' Aura concept phone was otherworldly, you haven't seen anything yet. SolidAlliance is back yet again with another zany and completely unnecessary cellphone accessory that purportedly changes hues based on the planetary mojo that's currently going on around it. There's not much to the Aura Controller besides it varying colors in response to faux psychic waves and totally bulking up your pocket when it's getting carried around, but hey, that's the price you pay to stand out. As if we needed to tell you, this one can be one found in none other than Japan for about $27.
The AQUAPICT LED jellyfish
If something just doesn't feel right unless every previously unoccupied AC outlet in your home is channeling power to some sort of artificial lighting, the AQUAPICT LED jellyfish would fit right in amongst the party lights and display shelves. Although certain deep sea creatures might become a bit testy with time, this trio of well-lit marine animals are guaranteed not to sting, and even power down completely after two hours without attention. Aside from the obvious underwater features, the device sports an on / off switch, three selectable lighting patterns, and striking similarities to your Kota Nezu Jellyfish speakers. The LED activity can be personalized by choosing "deep-sea" or "normal" mode, which apparently provides an option for a more vivid, colorful viewing experience while also offering a soothing alternative that's heavy on the blues. You can get an electrified reminder of your favorite squishy, poisonous ocean dwellers for just ¥15,540 ($132).[Via Uber-Review]
A trip to Mario World, without the GameBoy
Some kid, or more likely, a 30 year old man, has had his room elaborately decorated in the style of Mario World. The conversion comes complete with ceiling pipes and blocks that stick out of the wall although, as far as I can tell, they held back from placing random bottomless pits around the room.[Via BoingBoing]
