New app lets you choose what you dream about

There's a bizarre but very intriguing new app that lets you choose what kind of dreams you're going to have that night. You can choose from eight different scenarios -- flying, becoming rich, having someone you like confess their love for you, etc -- the app detects when you're in REM sleep and plays a soundtrack that seduces your brain into imagining whatever scenario you choose at the right time.

It's free, and you can get it here -- if you've tried it, let me know how it worked for you!

New calendar app shows date written on fetishized women's body parts

Japanese girl fetishists, there's a new that'll make you love to keep track of time. It's called nyotaigoyomi, and it's a calendar app available on iPhone and Android that shows the date written in kanji on a random body part of a Japanese woman dressed in a kimono, a school girl outfit, a maid costume, or something equally stereotypical and fetishistic.

Digital vending machine at Sendai Station

I spotted this digital vending machine at the Sendai train station. Maybe it's old news, but I had never seen one before--it seems more practical than putting empty cans on a shelf. I also found it funny that it was sitting beside these super analog coin lockers.

Awesome cell phone commercial plays Bach tune with a wooden ball

I think this is the most beautiful cell phone commercial ever made! It's for the Sharp SH-08C handset, which has a wooden frame--keeping with the wood theme, a single wooden ball makes its way down a gorgeous wooden ramp in the middle of the woods, playing a Bach tune with each drop. So awesome.
