The Heads of State "Star Trek" 50th Anniversary Stamps
I was already a fan of The Heads of State's work, but now they've given me one more reason to love them – these fab Star Trek USPS stamps. I'm gonna buy a lot of these. Like, a LOT a lot.

tempescope - ambient weather display for your home
How cool is this? Completely unnecessary, but SO cool.
(via bored panda)
The tempescope is an ambient physical display that visualizes various weather conditions like rain, clouds, and lightning. By receiving weather forecasts from the internet, it can reproduce tomorrow's sky in your living room.

Honey Badger mugs.
Okay. EASILY my favorite product this week. Brilliant.
Honey Badger SET of 6 mugs by corduroy on Etsy
p.s. If you have no idea what this is about, you'll need to Google "honey badger." And, if you don't like swearing, you will not like what you see.

USB Film Roll.
Want to back up your photos? These little guys are upcycled, 4GB and only $20. Sweet.
These upcycled jewels hold 4GB of information: that’s up to 1000 photos!
Since we get these from film labs that were just going to throw them away, you never know what kind of canister you’ll end up with. It’s like a grab bag: will you get Fuji Velvia? Tri-X? Precious but elusive Kodachrome? Who knows, you’ll just have to wait and see!

BITBOTS! (Updated)
Update: Roy Barazini, the creator of Bitbots (and a fellow UXer!), just sent me a note with some updated pics of his Bitbots. So fab. Check 'em out.
Babylonian Kingdom is an orderly and organized place: a city where well-programmed BITBOTS live a calculated life. Their ruler, BIGBOT, has ordered them to build a never-ending tower, as part of Babylon's eternal quest to rule the sky.
BITBOTS work perfectly and predictably, spending their days and nights building and behaving as good robots should.
One day, as a result of a mysterious mishap in the manufacturing process, something went off-bit.
Some of the BITBOTS began expressing themselves in an unusual way, revealing new personality, daydreaming and questioning their leader's orders. Life in Babylon was disrupted. BIGBOT was not pleased.
In a fit of rage he declared these BITBOT rejects "OFFBITS", and exiled them from the Babylonian Kingdom to fend for themselves in human society.
Now, with nothing but their human-like malfunctions, these OFFBITS search for a human adopter, to take them in and let them continue to express themselves in a new world.
The OFFBITS

Ben Walker.
Yes, I'm totally in touch with my inner nerd. Saw this guy's work at Comic-Con in San Diego and LOVED it.
