Thing of the Week: LED Clippy

One of the keen things about digital fabrication is that a lot of the bodge-jobs that makers put together can be reborn as rock-solid commercial-grade construction.  The LED glasses clip recreates what a maker might do with some tape, a paperclip and maybe a rare-earth magnet as something that looks pretty dang sharp.  Not that tape on glasses isn’t a time-honored nerd tradition, but looking like you can command the forces of industry (which arguably you do) to create such a geegaw?

Super cool.

    Yeah, it’s cool! Added bonus points for using it with sunglasses and look like Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Terminator :)

    Since we’re geeks anyway, we might as well become real pros.
