Parabola, a wooden ball launcher
I think I could watch this ball-launching sculpture for a long time. Called parabola, it was created by Youtube user MechanicalSculptor.

Computer chip earrings
These are lovely. I also like these fishing lure earrings from CRAFT volume 03… And of course, iPhone home button earrings…
Brewing Open Mate, an open source mate soda
Over at Hack Pittsburgh, we are running an experiment to try and brew an open-source version of the highly caffeinated Club Mate soda drink.
Not that kind of resistance
My then-girlfriend-and-now-justfriend Melody made this little diorama for her study partner when she was getting her undergraduate EE degree at UT-Austin back in 2003. There’s one more pic on my old personal webpage. It was I who advised her on the spelling; in retrospect, I’m pretty sure it should be “le” instead of “la.”
Pac-Man shelves
I dunno why you’d set it up to be NOM-ing your flatscreen TV, but I like the look of this, er, “Puck-Man” shelving unit from Italian firm Ginepro Design. Would be an easy remake, too, especially if you’ve got access to a CNC mill. [via Slippery Brick]

Need a unique spot for your studio/workshop/cave? Inside, perhaps you could get inspired to incubate your latest crazy ideas. They’re being pitched as an environmentally benign alternative to commuting and less expensive to heating a whole house for a home office. These appear to be production models with standardization of design and materials. Anybody have alternative versions we can see?
