Musical umbrella by Berlinbased hackers
Gear | MusicKit


TWO Berlin-based hackers Alice Zappe and Julia Lager create a musical umbrella that produces a random series of lo-fi 8-bit tones. How does this umbrella work? Well, it's simple. When raindrops strike the outside surface of the umbrella canopy, they are converted to tones by the the presence of twelve piezo pickup sensors which are taped to the underside of the umbrella and respond to vibration. The piezo’s are then fed into an Arduino Uno - an inexpensive and open source micro-controller popular with hackers and hobbyists, which is in turn connected to two speakers.

USB Shoe Foot Cooler Ideal for shoes socks and
Gear | Other
A weird idea from Japan!
From the website:
"Worried about smelly or sticky feet this summer?
Fear not, Thanko's got the answer!
Keep your shoes, socks, and sweaty feet breezy with the USB Foot Cooler, a tube that straps to your leg and then slips into your shoes.
It's connected to a USB cable so you can power the fan by your mobile device if you are out and about, or your computer if you are at your work station.
The end of the tube has a small pump that blows out cooling air at either high or low settings.
You can also strap it your arm and cool your armpit too, though at a slight risk of looking a bit like a drug addict!
It can even blow up a beach ball in around 10 minutes!
Features:
• Power: USB 2.0
• Tube length: 330mm (13")
• USB cable: 120cm (3.9 ft)
• Weight: around 114g (4 oz)
• Pump: 30 x 75mm (1.2 x 3")
• Ideal for shoes, socks and armpits
• Instructions: Japanese (but very self-explanatory)
$40.
