LED Chaser

Now back to your regularly scheduled nifty, blinky things. Like these LED-enhanced false eyelashes designed by artist Soomi Park. They're hooked up to a motion sensor, so as you tilt your head in different directions, they turn on and off.

I would have absolutely loved these when I was about 18 or 19 and going through a serious cyberpunk phase. Now I think I might be a bit too old for them.
