LED Bracelet Flashlight Frees Up Both Hands For Work

4:40AM Sean Fallon | Most of you probably know how annoying it is to work on something like an engine or a computer with a flashlight in one hand and a tool in the other. This bracelet helps free up both hands using four built-in LEDs—and it comes in packs of two so you can wear one on each wrist while you work. It’s a great idea, but I suppose your friends and fellow mechanics will be unable to risk a joke or two at your expense. Something like: “did you forget your purse today?” and “where’s the rave party boy?” Available for $US20. [Computer Gear via BookofJoe via Coolest Gadgets] More »

Sector Compass Torch Watch For Transmitting Messages in Morse Code

2:45AM Sean Fallon | With all of the communication technology we have at our disposal today, good old fashioned Morse code is all but forgotten.

A small flashlight is embedded into the side of the watch and can be used to deliver messages along with the complete chart of international Morse code that is printed on the face. Unfortunately, the watch is a Japan-only release (and it is expensive at $US620 to boot), so I’m afraid we will have to continue to transmit our •—•• — — — •—••’s via text messages for now.
