3D printed Brain Lamp

Alexander Lervik's MyBrain lamp is modeled on his own brain, as run off a 3D printer. In the coming era of mass-customization, we won't have to settle for lamps based on their designers' brains -- we can each of us get lamps based on our own brains. Link (Thanks, Laura!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Now we need to automate it so that it glows brighter every time one has a smart idea! Heck, I could even link it to my brain activity! Wait, do I smell something burning?

Or make it a touch lamp.

Or scale it up and use it as a disco ball (flashing to the beat of the music of course).

I can’t wait for the fabbing revolution!
