Interesting article about a portable gizmo called the LiteBook which evidently is effective in treating Seasonal Affective Disorder. (Instapundit)

Also, Test Tube Aliens declared "gadget of the week". I misread the blurb at Instapundit and thought it said "Vacuum Tube Aliens", which would have been even cooler.
