I have two little kids, and my mind would explode if I could take them to comic con dressed as an Ewok and a Jawa. However, I would also settle for this tasty hand-knit outfit. Dress your offspring as Link from The Legend of Zelda.

Craftster.org user UpKnitCreek created this outfit for a friend’s baby shower. BFF.

Hug lovers/addicts now have a new way to hug. Forget the outdated bear hug, group hug, side hug, and the sandwich hug because the minds at Cute Circuit have created a hug that can now defy distance. With Bluetooth technology, it is now possible to give hugs no matter the proximity of the hugger. The patented Hug Shirt™ has embedded sensors and actuators that can transmit and receive the strength of the touch, the skin warmth, and the heartbeat rate of the hugger to the huggee. The hug is sent via a Bluetooth java enabled phone with the HugMe™ java software and the sensors and actuators on the shirt respond accordingly. Shirts are available in an array of color combinations to suit any style.

One small step for technology. One giant leap for huggers.

As a kid, I was obsessed with glitter. My mom gave me a glitter glue set, and let me tell you what, my dolls and just about everything else in my room (including the carpet) had a little more glam by the end of the day. Now, as an older version of that little girl, I’ve expanded my creative energy into the wonderful world of fashion. You see, I’ve always had and still have a passion for “pretty” things… let me explain.

When I say pretty, I’m really speaking of beauty (a close cousin… or maybe its twin that was separated at birth? We may never know… back to the point).  Beauty encompasses a great deal to me, including all forms of expression and communication, whether that be a great story that inspires a kid to dream and imagine, a cleverly written song that tickles your ears, a t-shirt that makes someone smile, a dance that causes an astonished curse word to escape your lips, or picture that tilts your head with a thoughtful “hmm”. And I might be speaking only for myself, but this is beauty to me. It’s anything and everything that helps me appreciate this life of mine and the lives of others. It’s the thing that leads you to embrace the quirky, unique creature that you are and makes the best of the world in which we eccentric individuals interact.

So if you’re a fan of beauty, then I’m a fan yours.

Comrades, a revolution in gaming is upon us! Now is the time to show your support.

(Thanks to Katie Mann for bringing this, ingenuis t-shirt design, to our attention.)

If you’re the type of person who frags a lot better while wearing shoes, then the price tag on these babies may not make you flinch.

Designed by urban artist Solo Junkie, they are being auctioned on eBay for a “Buy It Now” price of $2500. These kicks have less than two weeks left on the auction block, so you may have plenty of time to start mowing those lawns, but there have already been offers made.

The free shipping should help seal the deal.
