I have a habit of seeing a piece of furniture or a household artifact and constructing entire fictional rooms around them in my imagination. These DNA coffee tables go nicely in my imaginary science lab lounge.

I don’t need any more encouragement to throw some sort of science themed party…yet here it is.
These would look great in some fresh punch!
Little fact: I’ve never actually experienced the phenomenon of “brain freeze.” I think I eat and drink too slowly.

‘Nuff said.

I’ve had these stored on my computer for a while now. I absolutely love these ultra-geeky science Valentines.
Sorry I no longer have the sources!
To be honest, I had a whole slew of Valentine material to post, but I’m not much in the mood for it. Maybe I’ll do a late post…or wait until next year.
Whatever form love may take in your life today, I hope you’re all enjoying it!

Although I’m not a Mac fangirl, I have to hand it to the designers of these decals…BRILLIANT!
There are a bunch of others that incorporate the logo nicely in this post.

I’m not big on man jewelry (save for wedding rings on married men, of course). But this gear ring by Kinekt is pretty darn cool:
Girls looking for a regular (or wedding) ring for your favorite gear geek…don’t miss this one.
Click the video link on the Product page to see how the gears move. It’s awesome!

Just the name stirred my excitement: The Journal of Serendipitous and Unexpected Results. I’m eagerly awaiting the inaugural issue.
The Journal of Serendipitous and Unexpected Results (JSUR) is an open-access forum for researchers seeking to further scientific discovery by sharing surprising or unexpected results. These results should provide guidance toward the verification (or negation) of extant hypotheses. JSUR has two branches, one focusing on computational sciences and the other on the life sciences.
In a society where drug companies often have more say over publicized research than scientists, it’s nice to see a forum that will showcase anomalies. All too often we fall victim to confirmation bias; a convenient, comfortable killer of creativity.
Shake it up, boys and girls! Thinking outside of the box makes fantastic new boxes.

I just want to call attention to my favorite piece by Don Shank: Laboratory Still Life.
I really want a print of this.

This one is for my dad, and the other Star Trek fans I know.
Kellogg’s has surprised fans with waffles that have edible images on them of Star Trek characters, planets, logos, phrases, and technology. There are more than 25 different waffles available with this limited edition item.
Naturally, they came out in conjunction with 2009’s Star Trek movie (wouldn’t it be wonderful if vintage movies were randomly selected for artistically rendered waffles, without a remake to market?).
I like the retro feel of the images…
It’s quite a dilemma for collectors though. Eat them? Photograph them? Try to find some sort of high tech preservation method?
My personal favorite:
