This intelligent mirror bends sunlight where you want it

As the shorter days of winter begin, it's not unusual for people who live in the northern region to start feeling depressed, grumpy, and exhausted. These symptoms are signs that they might be experiencing seasonal affective disorder, commonly referred to as SAD.

This type of depression not only affects their health, but it also affects their everyday life, including their work and relationships. Other symptoms of SAD include sleeping more than usual, inability to focus and think clearly, and increased appetite. But what if there was an easy way that could alleviate these winter blues?

Enter Lucy, a solar-powered, weatherproof device designed to offer a solution for people who suffer from SAD.

"Lucy's 100% weatherproof sphere houses a highly reflective mirror designed to automatically track the movement of the sun throughout the day using an array of photosensors, adjusting the reflected beam of sunshine to a set point for up to 7,000 lumens of mood-enhancing light. And because the mirror is flat, the reflected sunlight is dispersed rather than magnified, creating a more even spread of light."

Press Play Again

You know that feeling when you stumble upon an old movie you haven't seen in years? It's like finding a dusty photo album and flipping through the pages, only instead of bad hairstyles, you're greeted with hideous special effects and awful dialogue. Also, the dramatic tension I remembered as nail-biting was now… well, a little slow-paced. But the truly entertaining part of rewatching a movie is that you notice things you never did before. For example, in Midnight Cowboy , I didn't know that the guy who gave Joe Buck (Jon Voight) a blow job was played by Bob Balaban, who later became known for his role as Russell Dalrymple, the fictional president of NBC in Seinfeld . Released in 1969, Midnight Cowboy is a raw, sometimes uncomfortable, often heartbreaking, but ultimately deeply human. And seriously, the chemistry between Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) and Buck is pure gold. Rewatching a movie is like visiting an old friend. You know their idiosyncrasies, their stories, bu...

These ladies brought the chill.

The Philippines just bagged the gold medal at the recent International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Women's Asia Cup in UAE. Yes, you read that right. Ice hockey. Champions. But let me tell you, what we lacked in natural frozen water, we more than made up for in heart, hustle, and teamwork. The ladies had a perfect tournament in Al Ain with victories against Kyrgyzstan (15-0), UAE (6-1), Malaysia (8-1) and India (4-1) before beating Iran (4-2) for the gold. They proved that you don't need snow to conquer the ice. You just need talent, determination, and maybe a little bit of that Pinoy magic that allows us to thrive in the most unexpected situations. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find the nearest halo-halo vendor to celebrate.
