If you find most styluses in the market too big for your pocket, bag, or wallet, then you might want to look into Elektra Nails. It’s the most compact stylus we’ve seen yet – and a wearable one, at that.

Elektra Nails is essentially a stylus in the form of a nail that people can put on their fingers. In a sense, it turns a person’s finger (or rather, their nail) into a stylus so they can draw, write, and doodle with nothing but their digits.

The nails come in a neutral color, so guys can leave them as is while girls can paint over them with nail polish to customize them.

Made by Tech Tips, the Elektra Nails will be sold in packs of six and will come with six index fingernail styluses, adhesive strips, glue, a cuticle stick, and a prep pad for $14.95. They will be available by the second quarter of 2014.

Thank God we don’t see too many glitches in our technology these days. Visual glitches can be annoying, frustrating and often brightly blinding. Which is how I would describe these coats.

These coats are born from an unholy alliance between Japanese designers Nukeme and Ucnv. They’re available with either a black or white coat and an all-over glitch pattern that might make you lose your lunch if you stare at it too long.

On the upside, each is handmade and ships to you from beautiful Toyko. It will cost you about $295(USD) to look like a walking glitch. Too bad these coats don’t come with recordings of audio distortion to go along with them.

You can get up close and personal with a 3D scan of the outfits here.

Growing up I always liked the action scenes in the Star Wars movies much more than I liked the romance parts. For instance, I do recall the scene in The Empire Strikes Back when Leia tells Han that she loves him for the first time. To whit, Han replies with the infamous “I know.” (Then Chewie howls and Han is lowered into a vat of carbonite.)

If you are a well dressed Star Wars fan that needs some cufflinks that show off your geeky side, ThinkGeek has them. They are called, appropriately enough, the I Love You / I Know cufflinks. As you might guess, the links have a black and white image of Leia on one with the “I Love You.” printed underneath. The other has a shot of Han, everyone’s favorite scoundrel, and says “I know”.

The cufflinks are officially licensed from Lucasfilm and are rhodium-plated on the base with enamel and measure 3/4-inch square. You can pick these cufflinks up for $59.99(USD).

If modern art is more important to you than the ability to tell time, then have I got a timepiece for you. Inspired by Salvador Dali’s classic The Persistence of Memory, this surreal watch is sure to turn heads when you go to check the time.

Despite its distorted looks, the Melting Watch does actually tell time accurately thanks to a precision quartz movement. It’s available for just $29.95(USD) from our friends over at Gadgets & Gear. Though for that price you don’t get a melted face or a pile of ants with it. I suppose that’s a good thing.

For some reason I’m thinking that this is what the T-1000′s watch looked like when he melted into a pile of molten metal in Terminator 2.

Etsy jewelry shop ThreeTwelveTrinkets specializes in lockets. As you’d expect the pendants can be used to hold a couple of photographs or other small items. But unlike conventional lockets most of ThreeTwelveTrinkets items have geeky images in front.

They have ones designed after comic book heroes Iron Man and Captain America…

…ones carrying icons from video games including Minecraft and The Legend of Zelda series…

…and ones for fans of the famous fantasy books A Song of Fire and Ice and Harry Potter.

The lockets sell for $18 to $21 (USD) each. Most of them have a few finishing and chain length options. Keep your browser close to your heart and visit ThreeTwelveTrinkets on Etsy to order.
