TrendHunter: Artistically inclined gamers are definitely going to want to check out photographer Audrey Penven’s latest project, Dancing With Invisible Light. In this series, Penven had models play the Kinect game Dance Central in the dark to capture the infrared light that the Kinect had bathed their bodies in.

Microsoft Kinect is a peripheral for the Xbox 360 that lets you play motion-controlled games. The Kinect works by projecting a pattern of infrared dots onto a person’s body and then analyzing what happens when the player moves and alters the pattern. Penven shot Dancing With Invisible Light in near darkness, using her camera’s shutter flash as her only light.

MLB.com: Everyone seems to be talking about these new toasters at the MLB.com Shop. They are hot. They toast your bread, your English Muffin, your frozen waffle – and the best part is that it produces your favorite Major League Baseball team’s logo on one side.

“You don’t have to be a fan to love this,” said Josh Fink, CEO of Pangea Brands, but since we are all fans here and we eat, sleep and breathe baseball, we had to know more about the latest rage. So we bought one of our own, tried it out at home, and found it to be a little too … fun. We made more toast than we really had appetite to eat, because, frankly, we were just having a great time putting a particular team’s logo on food.

“The market is saturated, all the same stuff – enough T-shirts and caps,” Fink said, referring to the popular standards at the Shop. “When it comes to the novelty market, we are all looking for the most creative thing. You look at the Silly Bandz and think, ‘Why?’ It makes no sense to parents. But things hit. This is utilitarian, yet whimsical. It’s a product that can live and breathe in any house. You don’t necessarily have to be a fan to love this. It’s not the most expensive toaster in the world, and in some ways, it’s a toaster, but not a toaster; it’s fun.”

Cool Tools: Perplexus is a cool 3-dimensional maze that is easy to get started and hard to finish. You need to steer a small metal ball along an ingenious obstacle course by rotating the clear plastic globe. There are 100 stations along the way, including some difficult topsy-turvy turns. All ages can get into it. We’ve found the puzzle to be extremely addictive to anyone who gets started. Because it’s like a 3D video game without the electronics, the very physical nature of playing — turning it this way and that — is very satisfying. In addition, the maze is like a sculpture, the design of the route is geekily brilliant, and the elegance of the eternal return of the steel ball within the sphere is a stroke of genius. Perplexus has the glow of a work of art. It makes me happy just to pick it up.

Ekomini is the world’s first and only interactive, web-enabled, financial education game that helps children learn what they should know about money. The game features an electronic moneybox and a web-based savings platform called EkominiVille, where children see how much money they save and learn how to earn, set goals, spend, share and invest.

FaceChipz.com has all the features of a real social network – but with one big difference: kids can only communicate with others they’ve physically exchanged FaceChipz tokens with – no strangers allowed! No one can arbitrarily contact them. No one can search for them. It’s the social network they collect, but doesn’t collect them.
The Chips have the weight, look and feel of a high-end casino chips — on the head-side is …a face — an emoticon. On the tail side is a code. They are totally collectable — think Pogs meets Webkinz. The initial collection has 200 and they just went on sale at ToysRus.
The way it works is: kids register each FaceChipz token online by entering the unique code on the back of the chip into the FaceChipz code reader. Once the FaceChipz are registered, kids hand them out to friends or to someone they would like to become friends with. The Receiver goes online and enters in the same unique code from the back of the FaceChipz. The FaceChipz database confirms the friendship and the two are linked. Once a FaceChipz token is registered by both the Giver and Receiver, it cannot be used again.

The Walkstation is the fully integrated combination of an electric height-adjustable worksurface with an exclusively engineered, low speed commercial grade treadmill. And it’s the first product in the entirely new FitWork category of products from Details designed to bring healthy habits to sedentary workers while they are actually working.
The fully-functional treadmill display console shows speed, calories burned, time and distance. High torque motor is built in to withstand the rigors of slow speeds and possible higher weights for long periods of time. While exercising, the Height-AdjusTable Worksurface allows you to carry on your work comfortably.
UPDATE:
Steelcase Store is giving away three Walkstation treadmill desks (retail value of $4699). To enter, individuals or teams/companies will submit a short 2 minute video and a 200 character limit or less essay explaining why they should receive a Walkstation. Winners will then compete in a two-week walk-a-thon in December and, via Twitter, share their experience. For every mile logged, Steelcase will make a donation to Friends of TOMS, the non-profit organization of TOMS Shoes.

The Cool Hunter: Learning to ride a bike is one of the most valuable skills a child can learn, helping them master the art of balance, a skill crucial to so many other physical activities and sports. UK based Kiddimoto has created a range of cute-looking wooden bikes which are designed to teach young children precisely that – balance. The slimline, lightweight birch plywood bikes are easy steer and manoeuvre and feature proper rubber tyres, providing a smooth ride for little bottoms by gliding across outdoor surfaces.
