Once you get outside the realm of Major League Baseball, you pretty much have a license to be goofy with your uniforms. Last year, the Toledo Mud Hens marked May the 4th with Chewbacca-themed uniforms. This year, the Kalamazoo Growlers, a Michigan collegiate summer team, are jumping on the selfie bandwagon with a Salute to Selfie theme night, complete with selfie jerseys.

While it would be super-cool if the players wore unis with their own selfies on them, the actual unis will feature a mosiac of photos chosen from selfies sent in by fans. Submissions through Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram will be accepted through April 1, with the Salute to Selfie night taking place on July 24 for a game against the Wisconsin Woodchucks.

Dustin Evans’ Tesseract case replica may not have the power to destroy worlds or foretell the future, but it can open portals to other realms. Aside from a glowing cube, the case also has a 7″ LCD monitor and a Raspberry Pi running the popular media player XBMC through Raspbian.

Dustin also wrote an Android app to control the LEDs on the case. He also uses his Android phone to send video to the case with the help of AllCast. Dustin also added audio and video outputs to the replica. You’ll see him connect it to a projector in the video below.

It’s about that time again. That time for NCAA Division I schools to battle it out on the court during the month of March, all in search of men’s basketball glory. Naturally, the NCAA, in partnership with CBS and Turner Sports, couldn’t have kicked…

In 1805, a twenty-three year-old Bostonian named Frederic Tudor launched a new industry: the international frozen-water trade. Over the next fifty years, he and the men he worked with developed specialized ice-harvesting tools, a global network of thermally engineered ice houses, and a business model that cleverly leveraged ballast-less ships, off-season farmers, and overheated Englishmen abroad. By the turn of the century, the industry employed 90,000 people and was worth $220 million in today’s terms.

There’s nothing worse than waking up in the middle of the night and having to walk to the bathroom or kitchen in the dark. While we know where each piece of furniture is, our groggy state combined with the dreams we just woke up from alter our perception of our surroundings. That’s why having a nightlight is so handy!

However, if you have one that juts out of the wall and your depth perception isn’t so grand when you lumber down the hall, you know the odds of ramming your ankle into one is decently high. If you have kids, then the chances it will be yanked from the wall are also pretty high as well. If you wish there was a way to efficiently, and unobtrusively light your walkways, then the SnapRays Guidelight can help you with that.

These are outlet covers that have LEDs which shine underneath the cover. They will only stay alight when there is no illumination present in the room. It has this capability thanks to a light sensor on the plate cover. The installation only requires you to shut off power to the outlet, unscrew the old cover and remove it, and snap the new one in place with a screw to secure it. Getting ten of these will cost you around $120, which means your whole house could be lit at night for up to 25 years or more.

Available for crowdfunding on Kickstarter
