“You light up my life/ You give me hope/ To carry on” or, maybe you’re just a super cool gadget. Check out the i-Buddy, a physical representation of your MSN buddy; the next time someone sends you a message, i-Buddy will detect the emoticons in the message and light them up accordingly. Oh, i-Buddy, you’re kind of creepy and awesome all at the same time. (Debbie Boone would be happy.)

For some, what goes on in the computer stays in the computer. But what about the stuff that goes around the computer? I recently came across the USB Neon Sign, some rather groovy, retro desk flair. The USB Neon Sign is available in a Smiley, @ and Bar. It’s available at Gadgest.dk for about $20 USD.

Maybe the gift of light is the best way to celebrate all things that go bright. For your next corporate giveaway, consider a custom printed clip-on magnetic booklight with laser pointer and your friends will thank you. Outfit your favorite book with this brilliant booklight or distract your cat for hours with laser pointer-chasing. It’s win-win for everyone.

Can I get a light?
