Criminals are gonna love this Nissan Skyline R33 that was coated with heat-sensitive paint by UK bodyshop Auto Kandy. Imagine robbing a bank and then driving under a waterfall to change the color of your car. Not that there are many waterfalls available to you, but still. You could go through a car wash. Or just have a friend waiting in a warehouse with a hose.
Police would be so fooled. And you would get away. At least until the car dries off and changes back, and your stolen bags of money explode ink all over you. Hey, at least you have a cool car.
Hopefully, we’ll be able to buy our own color-changing cars soon. Next step? Let’s get them flying.

LEGO toys aren’t just for kids so it makes sense that LEGO watches wouldn’t be just for kids either. The company has introduced a line of watches specifically for adults. The LEGO watch collection for men and women will be launched in November and be called the LEGO Watch System.
The watches are completely customizable with the ability to swap bracelets, bezels and watch faces. So basically they will be just as fun as LEGO sets. Some of the watch models include: LEGO happiness, LEGO Skull and LEGO brick skull.
Some watches have day/date combination, chronograph, and calendar. The Lego watches will come in digital and analog models in a wide variety of color options. Some watches in the collection are made of plastic body and some are made partially from aluminum or steel.
The watches are water resistant from 50 meters to 100 meters depending on the model you pick, and they will sell for $85-$185 (USD). Hit A Blog to Watch for more shots of these cool watches.

Bluetooth speakers all start to look the same after a while, so whenever I come across a wireless speaker that breaks the mold, it makes me happy that industrial designers haven’t given up the good fight. For instance, I really like the look of these colorful new speakers from JBL.
The JBL Spark looks a bit like a see-through megaphone, offering a distinctive style as well as functionality. Each speaker has two 40mm full-range driver, with 76Hz to 20kHz frequency response range. The speakers offer Bluetooth connectivity, and an inline volume control, mounted on its fabric-covered cord.
JBL hasn’t confirmed a release date yet for the Spark speaker, but it should be available soon for $129 (USD). Keep an eye out on their website for more details.
Let’s face it. Speakers are some of the least visually-compelling objects you’ll find on an average desktop or bookshelf. I suppose that only makes sense, as sound was designed to be heard and not seen. That said, these speakers aim to add a little visual life to the boring old speaker cabinet.
ColorSonik’s new speakers feature vibrant see-through cabinets which will add a splash of color to any desktop, casting really cool color shadows onto their surroundings. Now before any of you treehuggers out there get upset that they’re made of plastic instead of wood, these speakers are crafted from recyclable, BPA-free polystyrene. Not that you plan on throwing them out any time soon anyhow.
Each speaker measures 4″(w) x 4″ (d) x 7.25″ (h), so they’re perfect alongside a computer monitor or on your bookshelf.
ColorSonik claims their speakers aren’t just about looks, and pack an nice punch when connected to your computer, media player, or other device with a 3.5mm output. They offer full-range drivers with self-shielded neodymium magnets. Frequency response for the speakers is rated at 65Hz to 18 kHz, and they’re powered by a 15-watts-per-channel of power, via a small, color-matched external amplifier box. There’s also an option for a Bluetooth receiver dongle.
ColorSonik speakers are available in six bright jeweltone colors at present, and sell for $249(USD) a pair, including the amplifier unit. The Bluetooth receiver add-on sells for $25.
Colorful has just unleashed their newest graphics card for the mass market. Called the iGame GTX650Ti 1G Buri-Slim, the card is packed with 768 CUDA Cores, a 128-bit memory interface, a core clock of 928MHz and a 1GB of GDDR5 memory set @ 5400MHz, and features 2x dual-link DVI and 1x mini HDMI outputs. Pricing info is still unknown at the moment. [Colorful]
Speakers are great for hearing your music, but most speakers look pretty boring. So when when you aren’t listening to music, they look terrible in your home. These Water Dancing Speakers deliver sound and are visually pleasing to look at, making the whole experience much nicer.
These speakers each have 4 colorful LEDs aimed upward, along with jets of water that bounce along with the beat. The color of the light changes at random, and the height of the water is determined by the volume and pitch of the sound. They connect to your computer via USB, and are completely sealed so you won’t need to refill them.
Pretty cool huh? They cost about $63(USD) for a pair over at Red5 and will add some color and movement to your room.

While it’s not an official LEGO brick on the cover of these journals, that doesn’t make them any less awesome as a place to sketch down ideas for your next big LEGO build, right?
Each memo pad measures about 3.14″ x 5.43″, and is adorned with a 2×4 grid of LEGO-like bumps on the front. While Moleskine does sell some official LEGO journals, I like how much more literal these are – despite the fact that they don’t interlock.
They’re available in red, green or yellow, and sell for $12(USD) each, or $29 for a set of all three over at Brando, where according to the site: “LEGOMAN does not include.” Indeed.

The Colorful Shark Bionic Cooler also features several shark-like fins. [techPowerUp]
