The sound system in my living room

I just want to take the time out to say that I have an awesome sound system setup in my living room consisting of an Onkyo receiver and Polk Audio shelf speakers with a fantastic Polk Audio sub-woofer.

I can literally feel the bass when I listen to music now. And not the thumping kind of bass either. I’m talking about true low-end notes vibrating your bones for long periods at a time. It’s practically a concert at my house every day because of this.

Sound Bulb turns your light into your speaker

So I’m sitting at my desk today listening to my music when James suddenly sends me a link to the Sound Bulb, a concept entertainment device developed by Darko Miladinovic, Irena Gantar, and Luka Pirnat from Slovenia. The Sound Bulb is a wireless device that uses a transmitter to make music come out of your light socket. The bulb portion of the device is half lightbulb and half speaker. The thread is a E26/E27 Edison thread which makes this device compatible with most common light sockets.

The one thing I love about this concept is that it is virtually indistinguishable from a standard lightbulb. It takes no extra room on your desktop or environment and it makes use of LED technology to keep heat and electricity at a minimum. I don’t imagine this device to ever be in very high demand (if it were ever put into production), but I can imagine this thing put to good use as an office prank.

JBL EON 500 series portable speakers

Oh wow! JBL’s updated line of EON speakers look fantastic! The EON 500 series look meaner, sleeker, and more robust than their predecessors. The design of these units were created by RKS who has worked with JBL on a number of other lines in their product range. But I must say, right now, these EON 500 speakers and woofers are top notch in the looks department.
