As gas prices top $4 a gallon and people are becoming more and more eco-friendly, cycling to get around is increasing rapidly.

But biking in the city – especially at night – can be dangerous. And hand signals are for lame-o’s. Well Leah Buechley’s LED signal sweatshirt/jacket is the perfect solution.

There are step-by-step instructions on how to make your own possibly life-saving coats. Sometimes, the simplest solution is the best one.

Ahh Japan, home of all things crazy/weird/awesome. From the land of the rising sun come these lovely pig headphones. They are (of course) made of silicon, come with a sizable 35-inch cord and are available in pink, black and white. You can pick up these hilariously offbeat headphones for a mere $11, but that’s only in Japan. Sadly, a search for “pig headphones” on Amazon yields Howard Stern’s biography.

If you can look past the Emo kid in the picture here, what you will see is the ultimate gadget guru accessory, the 8-bit tie. Originally listed as an April Fools joke, apparently enough people found the tie as interesting as I did and through sheer geek peer pressure, the tie has come into existence.

The tie comes in both blue and red, so whether you’re going to need to blend in to the underwater work environment you’ve been moved to or get powered up to ask your boss for the raise, they’ve got you covered.

Unfortunately, you won’t be playing any music on your watch, cassette or mp3, so you’ll be rocking out to the mix tape in your head while you show off your awesome new time piece.

Here’s a fact for you, even though Japan seems to pump out some of the coolest gadgets and gear in the world, they still manage to find comfort in believing in random miracle trinkets. What appears to be two Japanese women in bra’s is actually a lot more disturbing than it should be.

Those bra’s are laced with tourmaline, a miracle electric stone that can apparently block radiation and improve mood and stress. Not exactly sure where the electric part comes in to play, but this line of underwear dubbed "La-La" is laced with tourmaline in hopes of offering those results to women who just can’t seem to find the time to keep these rocks on them in public.

Acorn Studios has finally found a way to put Mac products to good use. It would seem that after smashing a Mac into itty bitty pieces, you can actually reuse some of those pieces to make into jewelry. This three piece set comes with a “Return”” key keychain, “M” “A” “C” keys hanging from a stainless steel necklace, and my personal favorite, the “Delete” and “Help” key earnings.

For only $39.95, there really is no better way to tell your artistic girlfriend that she better go get some help or you’re ready to delete her from your life and she just didn’t grasp the iCheated t-shirt. Or, if you have a Mac tattoo, what I meant to say was, congratulations, you’ve finally got those accessories you’ve always wanted to complete your fanboyish look!
