Presenting Luminoodle: A Brilliant, Versatile Lighting Solution

Noodles are great. They’re filling, versatile, and easy to cook. If I had one criticism, however, it would be that they don’t put out nearly enough light. Fortunately, innovative gadget company Power Practical has come up with a solution: Luminoodle.

No, Luminoodle is not a cyborg relative of the labradoodle; rather, it’s a super-bright, 5-foot length of LED lights. Though Luminoodle is not edible, it’s still very versatile. You can use Luminoodle as a bike light, a camping light, a TV backlight, a tantalizing prop in a sci-fi BDSM film — the list goes on and on.

Luminoodle puts out 180 lumens, making it 10-20 times brighter than your average Christmas lights. It’s also waterproof, so you and your friends more easily simulate bioluminescence at your next pool party. Finally!

The Luminoodle Kickstarter project is already a runaway success, and currently on its 21st victory lap. At the time of this writing, they have raised over $200,000 more than their goal of $10,000. You still have until October 15th to hop on the money-throwing bandwagon and capture a Luminoodle for yourself in time for the holidays.blake-holding-lantern

A pledge of $19 will get you one Luminoodle, plus a few noodle ties and and a sliding magnet to help you secure the noodle to almost anything. Luminoodle also comes with a rip-stop nylon bag, which doubles as a handy lantern. It’s probably a good idea to get the portable battery pack, too — otherwise, you’ll need to plug Luminoodle into a USB port for it to function.

Estimated delivery date: December 2015

Bob Odenkirk in Nobody 2

Before Bob Odenkirk turned in a seminal performance of TV's prestige era playing Jimmy McGill and Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, he was most known for his comedy chops. People were surprised to see him step out of his comfort zone in the world of drama television, but it helped usher in a new reputation for the veteran, everyman star.

Odenkirk got to play an action hero in 2021's Nobody, and the sequel is finally on the way. Nobody 2 might just be one of the best movies of the summer. Here is everything we know about it so far, from the cast to the trailer and the release date.

9 shows to watch if you love The Walking Dead
AMC's zombie show was a phenomenon. These shows will help you revisit that thrill
Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.

The Walking Dead started as a niche zombie series in the early 2010s, but it built up steam and transformed into a runaway hit just a few seasons after its inception. By the middle of the decade, Robert Kirkman's post-apocalyptic series was the most popular program on basic cable TV. It revolutionized long-form storytelling and created a rabid fandom that allowed it to run for over a decade and spawn many spinoffs.

Undead monsters aren't the only thing that made The Walking Dead such a fascinating and addictive watch, though. The depth of the characters and the survivalist strategies of the entire group made for thrilling, adrenaline-filled episodes that other shows had a hard time matching. We have the best shows like The Walking Dead to watch next if you love the binge-worthiness of world-ending drama in this comic book adaptation.
