Brando USB Pumpkin Lights are Actually Cubicle-Worthy
Posted by Jesus Diaz at 5:00 PM on September 9, 2008
I have an allergy to all gimmicky USB things, but these USB Halloween Pumpkin LED lights are actually cubicle-worthy, especially seeing how they all look with the lights off. Unfortunately, the US$13 8-pumpkin lights package has some problems.
Why not use normal electric plugs? Why waste all that energy when the lights are off and everyone is away? Or is Brando implying that we should turn the lights off at the office all day long, leaving only these creepy-yet-romantic things on? Would this open new ways to enhance inter-personal communication in the workplace? We can only hope the answer to these two last questions is YES.

Hmmm, my power supply died earlier this year and that was a nice 3 days of 'um, sitting in the cubes of other folks many of which I have never met before and I felt very uncomfortable looking at their family photos', so probably not for me but they are catchy.
"We can only hope the answer to these two last questions is YES." Not, I. Not sure where most people work but a 50 men to one woman ratio doesn't sound very comfortable ;)

Almost as classy as my shotgun shell Christmas lights.
(Okay, classier. Less awesome, though.)

Higher on the Creepy Scale - Around my stereo at home I have a string of CRUCIFIED JESUS LED LIGHTS I bought at a shop called 8-Ball on Magnolia Blvd in Burbank. I got them for the Secret Santa at my office last year but kept them because they are so rad. They glow purplish and aren't usb but that's just nothing a bit of soldering couldnt fix. A string of about 20 cost me $15 or so. I wish I had a pic but I can't find them for sale online.

Why do they HAVE to be used at the office?
And when will the candy cane version come out?
Yeah! And what about a jalepeno version?!
