Fewer things bring a smile to our hum drum and glum office (yeah right!) like babies wearing ridiculous / cute hats. Check out Itchy Stitchy’s Prince of All Cosmos Baby Hat:

Veronica offers the pattern for some diy fun. Make a giant green sausage on your wee one’s head. Or soysage if you’re raising veggie babies. Soylent Green is people!

Denmark may be the land of Lego, but LA has the Band of Lego. Check out the Band of Outsiders LEGO® project that celebrates the blocks’ 30th birthday with a Lego-inspired minishop at Opening Ceremony in Los Angeles.

I was just thinking of a way of explain binary code to my friend Jenn when I saw Intangible Art’s Gomez Explains Binary Code. So simple and cute even a baby (wearing the Mer-chan binary tee) can grok.

Today’s Style section of the New York Times features the article “Steampunk Moves Between 2 Worlds”. It’s solid steampunk 101 with some good interviews. What I love about the article isn’t mentioned at all; it doesn’t discuss race or gender but features steampunks who happen to be African American or women. The Victorian era was anything but inclusive but steampunk isn’t about blindly copying a period. It’s about making it better and modern. Technology as a casual part of everyday life is very technocuddly! More pics in the Robin Wright/NYT slideshow.

When I see bags that are just not right, I call them sad bags. Now Ladybags can tell you exactly how they feel when they’re missing something. Apply an RFID tag on the things that have to be in your bag. The prototype Ladybag scans its contents to make sure everything’s in it before you head out the door.

The Ladybag above looks happy and may even be ticklish. But in the event that your cellie doesn’t find its way back into your bag after a gab session, a sad icon will illuminate on the exterior of the bag to alert you that it’s missing. Blackberry, lipgloss, keys, ipod. It’s the girlie version of “Testicles, spectacles, wallet, watch.”
