Lest I appear biased in my geekery (I’m not shy about my penchant for art, science, medicine and various types of intriguing media), I want to balance the equation…pun intended, I suppose…with a little something for the math lovers.
Now you can have a mathematical theorem named after yourself or your favorite people at TheoryMine.
Right now there is a basic certificate, but more elaborate gift packages are coming soon.
The holidays are upon us…so I’m cleaning out a folder of bookmarks labeled (I’m not kidding) “STUFF.” This folder contains objects I think are fun, but can’t really justify buying for myself because they’re not exactly necessary.
Who knows? Maybe this will help someone’s gift selections…
Computer Code Briefcase, for the quirky geek in your life:
The Torture Device Coloring Book, for the morbidly inclined artist:
The Astro Mitt. Okay, this is awesome:
Trying very hard not to spend $17 on this A Christmas Story Ornament (come on…triple dog dare me not to!):
And bandages!:
Or for comic book fans:
Nintendo Keychain Set, for the retro game lover:
Robot Key Toppers. Great for differentiating between your keys.
I’m not sure if it’s actually possible to be “in love” with a quilt…enamored, perhaps? Smitten? Totally bloody awestruck?
Jimmy McBride’s intergalactic quilts rank among the most innovative beautifully constructed craft pieces I’ve seen.
I happen to explore astronomy photographs quite often (and always have an astronomy image as my computer wallpaper), so it was an added bonus to see images I know and love rendered in gorgeous bedding.
The details are stunning…
This is a geek’s dream! Or rather, something under which geeks may dream.

This fictional museum has a very elusive online presence. I saw one image from the lot, and figured I would find a plethora of articles, photos and information. After all, The Museum of Unnatural History is a sensational concept.
I could only find this site, which does not even list authors or contact info. I’m intrigued. I want more.
The collection boasts one of the finest arrays of fictional charts, specimens, and products I’ve cast my eyes on.
For my dear cynics and nihilists:
The simple re-branding of everyday objects is genius.
This one makes my geek senses tingle with delight:
Why are there no links to buy these products?
I highly recommend the rest of the collection.
[EDIT] Because I have such awesome readers, there is now more info in the comments. Here is an article about the brick and mortar store. Scan the comments for a series of links about the purpose and history, courtesy of Rich. Thanks, guys!
This place has officially been added to my “destinations” list!
Oops…this was in my draft folder for quite a while. What a great concept for hardcore NES fans and old school gamers. Brilliantly executed design!
Happy 25th birthday, Nintendo!
Gather ’round, Geeklings! Crooked Brains just posted a fantastic roundup of various periodic table renditions. They included the Periodic Table duvet cover I posted previously.
Some other favorites:
One of the finest nerd mobiles I’ve laid eyes on!
Periodic table of cupcakes:
I would absolutely hang this in my kitchen.
Literalism, FTW!
Amazing craftsmanship…
See the rest here.

In an effort to unite some local film geeks, I’ve started a club and we have our first meeting on Friday!
If you are a Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan and can make it to the Long Island area, please join our facebook group, spread the word, come to our events! Friday evenings at 7 will NOT be a standard time because I know it’s inconvenient for many people.
There has been talk of invention exchanges, baking contests and all sorts of cool stuff for future meetings…stay tuned…
I love this little cartoon.
I’m very tempted to draw a similar cartoon with my own equations and see. My mind is always a whirlwind of art, science and senses…intermingling in what might appear to be very odd ways to an observer. To me, it’s all integrated. I tend to experience my surrounding on BOTH intellectual and sensual levels simultaneously. How would that translate into a cartoon…
I wish I had seen these before my 80’s nostalgia party last year! Space Invader press on nails manage to kill TWO nostalgia birds with the same 8-bit stone! Retro video games and press on nails (remember THOSE, fellow female children of the 80’s?).
Michele Banks, a.k.a. Artologica paints fantastic watercolors with medical and scientific themes.
I love this choice of medium in an age when most medical art is done digitally. Don’t these pieces have a real soul and charm to them?
A favorite (portrayal of cell division):
