“Yoda” Bat Discovered<\/a> – A new species of bat found in Papua New Guinea ostensibly looks like Yoda. I suppose there’s some vague resemblance, but I’m really mentioning the article because it just looks so darn cuddly.<\/p>\n

Bluntcards<\/a> – Ecards that combine vintage illustrations with snark. I particularly like this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Borders Alfred Hitchcock<\/a> – In the “can never be unseen” department….<\/p>\n

Umbilical Cord iPhone Charger<\/a> – I’m not sure if this is a real product or a clever mockup. Either way, gah.<\/p>\n

Cthulhu Christmas Elf<\/a> – Original polymer clay sculpture of…just what the title says. (I like the “It’s beginning to look a lot like End Times” bit in the description.)<\/p>\n

19th Century Family Car Stickers<\/a> – I wish these were an actual product instead of just Photoshop, because I would be mighty tempted to own a set.<\/p>\n

‘Til Death Do Us Part<\/a> – Engagement ring knuckle duster. It certainly…makes a statement.<\/p>\n

Paul Pape Designs<\/a> – Sculptor with a geeky bent who creates things like custom sculptures of game avatars<\/a>, personalized cake toppers<\/a>, and wearable button eyes a la Coraline<\/i> (under General Geekery<\/a>, toward the bottom).<\/p>\n

Cannibal Snowmen<\/a> – These are some of the most wonderful holiday cards I’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n

Snip, Burn, Solder, Shred<\/a> – Book of “geeky” projects to make with kids, including things like a muzzleloader that shoots marshmallows, screen-printed T-shirts, and a sock Cthulhu.<\/p>\n

The Lovelace Reader<\/a> – New magazine devoted to steampunk.<\/p>\n

p.s. – This is a milestone of sorts, as it’s the 1,000th post published on the blog. Thanks to everybody for being a great audience; I can’t wait to start on the next thousand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
