Only $5 for this set of 3 cards.  Kind of cute, reminds me of some artist that my mom used to get cards and notepads with her work printed on them.  Terrible grammar, and I don’t care.

 
So when I found this at first I was totally confused.  What the hell is it?  Is it a travel case for OCD electronic freaks?  Or is it a way of inserting battery power into toys or other products?  The description is pretty technical and I’m sure makes sense to electricians but I was at a loss.  Then I noticed another product by this same seller, called a “Bead Tilt Sensor Kit” which looks like this:


This really didn’t clarify the situation one bit.  What the fuck is it?  Seriously, take just 30 seconds to figure out at least one or two things this could be (besides ugly jewelry).  In the description for this product there is a link to the seller’s website; I figured I would be able to find out exactly what the hell this was all about.

Three links into the website later I have discovered Kobakant DIY Wearable Technology, which is a subpage of the Kobakant site, which is part art, part gaming, part dance, part technology and all fascinating.

This was the most surprising of my search results, and I realized that I’m still the big nerd I was in high school, which disturbs and comforts me in equally horrifying amounts.

This week: square images with a surreal quality.

 
They look like aliens or something…quite freaky.

 

 
Fuzzy lights in a rainy window are some of my favorite things.  Doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue…
