Cool Thing – Laserpod

Ahh a blast from my gadget past, 3 years back now I think I picked up one of these Laserpod’s (not from thinkgeek however, the place I bought mine from has since closed down.) A nice futuristic light source consisting of blue and uv leds, a reflector, a plastic faceted sphere, a motor, and some lasers. A bit like a trippy planetarium but with less light points and a blue background. When I got the box however, a well designed box at that, I knew id quite likely like whats inside. Very plain box that is, white all over, bar a fluro orange trim on the edges and Laserpod written on the front. Nice and simple, not trying to convince you to buy with fancy words and flashy pictures.
