Daniel bought me an early X-mas present: a necklace featuring a glowing Swarovski crystal, powered by an internal white LED. He gave it to me early so I can wear it at Orycon this weekend. A science-fiction convention is definitely an appropriate place for such a technological piece of jewelry.

The best thing about the necklace is that it's actually bright enough for me to read by it. The LED perfectly lights up one paperback page. It's like having a super-power... Wherever I am, no matter how dark it gets, I'll still be able to read. (As long as I have a book.)
