These cute little ghoulish guys known as Mood Beams, are just asking to be knocked around. Tap their heads and they’ll glow to life. They also have several different light modes, such as a rainbow mode, in which they gently phase through a whole rainbow of colors. There is also a Beat Mode which is activated by pressing and holding the Mode button. In Beat mode, noise causes their lights to flash on and off.

Mood Beams just might be the next iDog. They run on 2 AAA batteries and retail for $16.08 at IWantOneofThose.com.

Livewire
Jansport, one of the most popular backpack manufacturers in the world, has a line of Livewire bags designed with portable audio in mind. Their Livewire bags each have a universal headphone port mounted on to the shoulder strap with an internal connection cord that is compatible with any mp3 or cd player. Inside the bags, a special protective V-loft pocket safely stores your mp3 player inside the pack. Their Livewire+ bags go a step further by having a soft-fabric keypad integrated into the shoulder strap so that you can have full remote control of your ipod on-the-go. Finally, their LivewireBT is even more suped up then the Livewire+ bag because its soft-fabric keypad can control both your ipod and bluetooth phone. Also, its backpack strap has a built in microphone for hands-free use with your headphones.
The Livewire series comes in several designs and several colors. Trinity and the Audio Pack, two of the Livewire+ bags, are even available in pink.

There’s also a wootish flavor to the site – every 5 minutes the offerring changes. So if you missed it the first time, you might never get another chance to get it for "free" again. We’ll admit that we’re a bit hesitant about this site, but a lot of the folks over at the SlickDeals Forum have some good things to say about it.
