Shake Your Umbrella for a Random Song

thhamm writes "If you happen to see people wildly shaking and dancing with their white umbrellas in the street, don't call them crazy just yet. They might just be controlling their iPod with an iBrella: "The iBrella is a special umbrella that acts as an iPod interface. One can control the iPod just by his physical interactions with the iBrella." Theres a video of it in action, too. The ideal gadget to use while driving your motorized couch maybe?"

  1. Take it to Dance Dance Immolation at Burning Man by billstewart · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Dance Dance Immolation is "Dance Dance Revolution. With Flamethrowers. Pointed at you." (See the DDI URL for a picture by Kristen Ankiewicz.) I saw it at The Crucible's recent Fire Arts Exhibition. You don't get flamed every time you miss - it's more like every N times or so, and might depend on whether you or the other person you're playing against is ahead. (Oh, and you do get to wear a fireproof suit...)
