The Times Square of Name BadgesCheck out this customizable name badge with scrolling LED message. The Scrolling LED Name Badge II is completely programmable to say what you want. The message can be changed "on the fly" using the three onboard control buttons. Up to six different messages can be loaded into the badge. Each message can be set for scroll speed and brightness level. To change to a different message, simply use the buttons on the back of the badge. The Scrolling LED Badge is smaller than a credit card and weighs about one ounce. It attaches to your shirt using a small magnetic connection on the back of the badge. The LED message is very visible and easy to read, and has nine different speed settings. The battery life is about 18 hours. For more information, visit www.thinkgeek.com.
Mobile Coat CheckIt's an idea whose time has comein England anyway. CloakVroom is a fully mobile coat-check room in a custom-fitted truck. CloakVroom is staffed 24 hours a day to provide event-goers with peace of mind and offer event organizers a hassle-free drive-in facility. The UK-based company provides a secure place for attendees at music events, road shows, award ceremonies, fashion shows, conferences, exhibitions, sporting events, fun runs, and other corporate events to store their personal items. CloakVroom plans to roll out a franchise in 2008 with separate vehicles covering different regions in the UK, so it's still an idea waiting to happen here in the United States. But anyone planning an outdoor event in England should visit www.cloakvroom.com for more information.
