The company behind these cool LED suits are Glowy Zoey and they are even giving away a baby LED suit on their website. The world woul

From a distance, it looks like an ancient shield, used by gladiators on a Roman battlefield. Or it could even be a large turtle shell found only on warm Polynesian islands. But NO – this my friends is an instrument called the “Hang”. This Swiss made contraption is very hard to get, because every one is handmade to perfection. ‘Hang‘ just means ‘Hand‘ in the Swiss German dialect of Berne. Musician Daniel Waples also describes this odd instrument as the HandPan. A quote from hi

This is exactly what the clever marketing team at DHL did, and in return pulled off a brilliant prank on their competitors. The prank was super simple but very effective.

This was such a great piece that I had to re post it from a great blog Hereandloathing – please enjoy and spread the wisdom!  ADx Happiness is not a feeling– it is a state of being, a certain fleeting content.
