Here comes one of the best ideas I’ve seen in a long time. The Crowne Plaza hotel in Copenhagen has rigged a couple bikes to a generator and they’re luring guests into generating electricity by giving away a $36 food voucher in exchange for a 15-minute stationary bike ride.

Remember Atari? Of course you do… Legends never die, they just get smaller. At least that’s the philosophy behind the playable Atari keychains over at Firebox.com. The best part?
