Mayan Apocalypse December 2012

Another Great Gift Idea – 28 Switches

This illuminating piece was created by an artist and former colleague of mine, Kiel Mutschelknaus. ‘It is a lamp with 28 switches. In order to turn the lamp ON, you need to switch all 28 toggle switches to the on position. And, logically, to turn the lamp off, ALL the switches need to be turned to the off position.

Very cool. Now wire them up to a rheostat so that the lamp may be dimmed, switch-by-switch. Dare you.  [Found here, via here.]
