Buddha Box These are trippy little gizmos. I bought some for myself and my friends. They come in boxes completely written in chinese, and even come with a couple bogus coppertop "dong guan" batteries. Neat if you like ambient stuff. Here's an interview with the guys who made it.

How freakin' cool is that?

I'v got to get one. I love that they ship you a random color instead of you picking a color.

I just ordered one of these. Can't wait for it to arrive!

What a cool gift that would make.

I'm gonna have to get one. The deciding factor was that they're $23, and I always take the number 23 to be a sign from god. Er, I mean, Buddha.

I've got one on my desk here at work. FYI, Turntable Lab also sells 'em.

I like that they look like little iPods. Do they record and playback? Guess I'd better read more.

I have one and love it to death. well, maybe not to death but I really love it. very soothing, after a while almost hypnotizing.
