Light Emitting Tattos

[summerdays]

I've just been sent this link by a friend for the FUTURE.... Solar powered LED's inserted under your skin....

Its makes me cringe thinking about it ...

I would doubt they would be that strong and what if you weren't out in the sun that day .... and how would you control them... I wouldn't want to find them on when I was in bed.... No they aren't for me....

Not really 'practical' if you want to wear gloves, which most of us typically do ALL THE TIME.

what an over-engineered idea. you can get a pack of flashing wrist/ankle leds for little dollar and you can take them off as required.

i'm out

 

[Globalti]

Slowly it wanders,--pauses,--creeeps,--
Anon it sparkles,--flashes and leaps;
And ever as onward it gleaming goes
A light on the Bong-tree stems it throws.
And those who watch at that midnight hour
From Hall or Terrace, or lofty Tower,
Cry, as the wild light passes along,--
'The Dong!--the Dong!
'The wandering Dong through the forest goes!
'The Dong! the Dong!
'The Dong with a luminous Nose!'


Edward Lear.

Talking of strange bicycle inventions, have you seen the sweedish designed cycle airbag helmet, the Hövding?

Road.cc had a 'review' of it. Them crazy Scando's!!!

 

[Aperitif]

Nice!
I've had the version that fits around the waist for a few years now...
Anyway, I saw the light long ago with my Audrey Tatou.

Actually that helmet was on the same email message that was forwarded to me... it looks scary and there is no way I want something going off with the kind of force air bags do at the back of my neck. It might look good for a dressing up doctor who party though.

That hand looks like it is from a corpse, does this mean they will still work when you are 6 feet under?

Well only for a short while ... you don't get much solar power down there....

Like that deluded self-publicist Kevin Warwick. Reckons that sticking a chip under his skin makes him The First True Cyborg, whereas everyone else:-
a) realises that if he carried it in his pocket like normal people we would call it a door key, and
b) wonders what on earth persuaded Reading University to make him a professor.

Coincidentally, without getting too Patrick Stevens, I was considering how they would change things if you, um, well, shall we say got yourself and a partner under the duvet for non-sleeping purposes.

Actually, on reflection (intended), with or without a partner.

It would show that you had been L.E.D. astray, Norm - that's all!

I once read a very illuminating poem about the late Lady Diana Spencer.

Yes, it was a light-emitting Di-ode

(OK, as you were, there's nothing to see here, move along)
