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.

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:

The media has been awash with sightings of Jesus in everything from pieces of toast to pelvic sonograms. I’d like to see an emerging buzz over hidden scientific images in religious artifacts.

I can’t spend an extra penny right now, but I wish I could order one of these fantastic double helix necklaces from Morphologica.
Each piece starts as a sketch on paper, gets digitally modeled and laser cut.
Love the elegant lettering…

How could I not love these science themed holiday cookies?
Petri dishes!
Gel electrophoresis!
Gingerbread scientists!
Lab mice!
It looks like a lot of work went into these. Very nice.

I love hard copy books, so I will not be undertaking this project. But I have to share since it’s rather amazing.
Bioephemera drew my attention to this tutorial on how to make your own book scanner.
Look at this thing! It’s like a robot overlord! Do you dare create one?

My apologies if you’ve seen this before. But if anyone here hasn’t come across this invention (and has the urge to feel like part of a terrifying dystopian nightmare) who am I to withhold it?
Interactive media artist Mio I-zawa crafted this mechanical tumor that expands and contracts based on the amount of stress your computer is feeling.
Most of us know when we need to give our overheating CPU a rest, but in case you need a pulsating, malignant reminder…here’s how it works:
I-zawa also created a fleshy looking mechanical heart that moves in tandem with the user’s pulse. I must say, I’d like to walk around NYC with one of these, like it some sort of pet. Just for a day.
