Are you a bicyclist that's tired of being cut off and hit by cars? Well get a pair of these handlebar key plugs and you can at least deface the perpetrator's car in the process of getting run over.

These modified handlebar plugs speak to the disgruntled urban cyclist. By retro-fitting stock parts with up-cycled keys, bikers can now find satisfaction with close encounters. This concept puts a new twist on the timeless tradition of car-keying revenge. By Matt Braun and Jared Delorenzo.

They cost $5 for a set of two and fit snugly into regular handlebars and assholes. But in all honesty, if I catch you keying my car I can and will kill you. I'm serious -- if you don't like the way I drive, stay off the sidewalk.

Mar 19 2008 Infinity LED Bricks Really Take Me Back

infinity-LEDs.jpg

LED Glass Bricks are a recent winner of one of the coveted "Red Dot" awards for good design. It's basically an infinity mirror with integrated LEDs so you get an awesome light show that stretches on into, well, a really far distance. The color shifting blocks can even be computer-controlled, for a really crazy lightshow. Damn these take me back. Back to my days on the dance floor of Studio 54, where, depending on who you ask*, I may or may not have made out with Eva Gabor while doing zooters off Elton John's ass.

* If you ask me, it happened. If you ask anybody else I wasn't born yet.
