Spinning Your Words

Now here’s a great gadget for bicyclists that not only offers a semblance of safety, but also lets riders express their feelings on the go via a small LED light attached to the spokes. It’s called Lex, and when the wheel spins, the message becomes legible. Sounds like magic right? It’s not:

After you construct your message, all you need to do for transfer of the text to the Lex device is click a button in the application. The text is then sent via USB from your computer to the Lex device. As the bike wheel spins down the road, you are able to read the message in the blur of light created by the Lex as it spins.

Can you think of a better way to tell cabdrivers how much they suck with such pizazz?
