Your guide to unique Christmas ornaments

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007


For the Star Wars geek in all of us, stormtrooper ornaments can restore order to your intergalactic Christmas. Also available: Leia, Luke, Amedala, Jabba the Hutt, and more.

Flying Spaghetti Monster
No Pastafarian Christmas tree would be complete without the Flying Spaghetti Monster ornament.

Cthulu
Any steampunks hiding among us won’t be able to sleep until they have adorned their tree with a Cthuluclaus ornament.

Commando Fetus
And for the super-conservative, liberty-hating, support-the-troops crowd, my personal favorite is the unaborted commando fetus ornament. Now you can support the troops from the womb to the war and topple despotic scrooges for the holidays.

Some nice Nixie clocks

There are a lot of really nice looking Nixie clocks here, but my favorite of the bunch is probably this one by Tyler Root.

This one, by John Lazzaro, is pretty nice too.

Maybe one day I’ll have a proper workspace where I can try making one of my own.

Custom iGoogle skins

Steampunk iGoogle theme

Google users familiar with iGoogle can relate to the frustration of having to choose from the seven themes available when customizing your iGoogle page.

Fortunately, Greg Bullock has made a solution available over at his website. He has created a custom iGoogle skins Google gadget for iGoogle users. The gadget includes many new, more attractive skins for iGoogle, and also allows you to create your own.

Naturally, I chose the steampunk theme.

I totally want one of these!

If this seems like a shameless attempt to get someone else to buy this for me, well, it is. I really want one of these clocks.
