Last weekend was David's 30th birthday. I got him a Thingamagoop 2 kit from Bleep Labs. Here are some photos of him assembling it, followed by video of its talents. I think it's super hot my boyfriend is so handy with the tools.

This thing is sooo cool. You can plug it into your amp or keyboard and probably many other things. We have the volume kinda low in this video because my roommate was asleep, but it gets quite loud! I really want one now, too. They come in red, blue, green, and a special RGB version. Bleep Labs website
