Hasta La Gadget!

We’ve seen some purses that looked like giant LEGO bricks before, but these are the first purses I’ve come across that are actually made from LEGO bricks.

These clutches have been made by sewing the bricks together and then lining the whole thing with satin. Its creator, Agnieszka Biernacka says it’s a very time-consuming process, but the end result is that the bricks are flexible but can’t fall apart.

I like how even the closure uses a LEGO brick which snaps in place to keep the contents of your purse secure. They’re available from agabag, with prices starting at $180(USD). They come in a variety of colors, and are also available in larger sizes and in custom designs like the Union Jack and U.S. flags shown below:

Remember Jason Casteel’s cool Transfomers-meets-Doctor Who T-shirt? Thingiverse member Andrew Lindsey not only remembers it, he was inspired by it to make a 3D printed toy. Behold, TARDIS Prime in 3D! Vworp Vworp!

Andrew had to deviate from Jason’s drawing in order to make the toy transformable from a phone booth to a robot and vice-versa. At least he still has the red bow tie.

Andrew says he’s not fully satisfied with the toy. For one thing, the toy needs a lot of plastic to be printed, and it’s made of more than 70 parts. Also, it can’t stand on its own because it’s too top-heavy. I guess you could say that it’s… wibbly wobbly. YEEEEAA– Sorry. Andrew is thinking of designing a smaller version of the toy, but you can already print G1 TARDIS Prime if you want. Just download the files from Andrew’s Thingiverse page.

Babies need entertainment even when they are lying in their cribs. Mobiles can do a good job of entertaining babies. Even better is a Game of Thrones mobile like this awesome one from Lullabymobiles on Etsy. It’s also the closest kids should ever get to the decidedly M-rated content of the popular HBO series.

Your baby will love sleeping under the sigils of houses Stark, Targaryen, Lannister, and more. I would suggest not going too heavy with the whole Westeros theme though, unless you want your kid to grow up to be like Joffrey. If only these houses were as peaceful as they look on this mobile…

Each mobile has a silver crown and four house sigils of your choosing. It takes about 7 to 8 weeks to have one made, and they sell for $350(USD).

I couldn’t tell you what a subatomic particle is, but I can say this… “That there scienc-y jewelry looks purdy.” This line of 3D printed jewelry really does blend nerdy and beauty together very nicely.

3D printing is making all kinds of things possible. Virtox is using the technology to create these necklaces and earrings inspired by actual subatomic particles and their spiral movements in magnetic fields.

Virtox wrote software to follow the paths of different possibilities, and these delicate pieces, called “Quark Jewelry” were born.

Ever since I first learned about subatomic particles and their spiral movements in magnetic fields, I could not help but be inspired. The different charges, masses and speeds determine the trajectories and create these astounding images in bubble chambers. With the arrival of accessible 3d printing, I got to work to capture this beauty in jewelry. I wrote a piece of software that would trace possible (and impossible) orbits and trajectories in 3 dimensions.

Science and fashion collide. You can get your own subatomic particle jewelry over on Virtox’s Quark Jewelry shop on MixeeLabs. Prices start at just $15(USD).

I miss the classic Metroid games. The newer ones just don’t do it for me. If you are a fan of the original games, check out this awesome Super Metroid Necklace.


These parasites like to live on your neck and are made of solid brass and red gems. Just make sure this guy doesn’t suck your life energy out of you. Though at least you will look good until you are drained out.

The parasite pendant is available in brass, sterling silver, or twenty-four carat gold. It’s perfect for bounty hunters with a taste for adventure. The brass version will cost you only $30(USD) from Criticalhitshop, while the silver version goes for $60 and the gold version sells for $1000. It’s a must have for Metroid fans.
