Secret rings: “I’m up to something, but I have no idea what”

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Thanks to Boing Boing for adding another item to our crave list. AJS, a jewelry-maker in Poland, sells secret society rings. These rings represent the Masons, the Knights Templar, and yes, the Boy Scouts. Now I need one of these before I can start on Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol.

For a time, gadgets were marketed as having “No moving parts.” Well I for one, like moving parts. That is, when they work and look as slick as the Kinekt Gear Ring. Granted, the ring is made to do nothing but look fabulous. Still, the simple fact is I need one. Grab one before the Steampunks do.

Helm’s deep elven armor out of craft foam

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

What can you do with some craft foam, floor polish, and some Elmer’s glue? Oh just elven armor from the Helm’s Deep battle in Lord of the Rings. The elves could not have done it any better (if they were limited to craft store supplies). In addition, the creator posted instructions on how you can do it yourself. Just in time for you to whip out a few sets for the family before Halloween!
