This cool geeky ring was created by Luke Jerram and jeweler Tamrakar for Jerram’s wedding to Shelina Nanji. Inside the ring are tiny photographic portraits of the couple. When you shine a light through the ring, it projects the images out like a tiny projector. The ring was made by hacking apart a disposable camera to get the lens. Unfortunately the ring was stolen when his house was robbed!!!!!!! Sorry Luke! So Jerram is working on a new version to give his wife.

This might be the most logical kitchen accessory we’ve ever posted here. Recipes are always calling for odd size measurements that force you to do the math in your head and use multiple measuring spoons to get the amount of ingredients required. Problem solved with the Odd Size Measuring Spoons, a set that has all those inbetween sizes as well as your standard ones. The set, which nests neatly, includes pinch, 1/8 teaspoon, 1/4 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, 2/3 teaspoon, 1 teaspoon, 1.5 teaspoons, 2 teaspoons, 1 tablespoon.
Yes a “pinch” is an actual measurement- it’s 1/16 of a teaspoon. Who knew? These dishwasher safe plastic spoons come in red and cost $7.95 from Vat19.
The iPhone 4 gets the full Stuart Hughes treatment, covered in 150 grams of 24ct gold. It will run you $33,622 (exactly- not a penny more, not a penny less) to buy this Trumpalicious iPhone but I bet you could make an even trade by melting down enough of Grandma’s jewelry for those cash for gold people on TV. No word on whether or not gold plating improves the “death grip” antenna signal problem or not (send me a review copy of this phone, I’ll let you know).

Roadtrip to Niles, MI, baby! Apparently AT&T is not exactly location aware with it’s email list just yet because they sent an email out to customers Nationwide inviting them to see the recently remodeled Niles, MI store. They were thoughtful enough to include a 25% coupon for accessories in-stock only.
Twitter is ablaze with people from NYC, Virginia, Oregon, North Carolina and beyond who all got the same FAIL email. 25% off is a great deal despite the conditions (Excludes Apple-branded products, data modems and installed car kits. Offer cannot be combined with bundle discounts or other promotional offers. Must present coupon at time of purchase. Limit one coupon per customer, per item. Valid only at AT&T locations identified in this email.) but I’m not about to drive to 700 miles for a discounted car charger.
Got wood? Austrian design firm KMKG has created this incredibly large iPod speaker dock made from a tree trunk. This 130 pound log (hopefully it’s mounted to the stud and just the drywall!) was hollowed out using a “special technique to create extraordinary sound”. Give me a plate of beans and I’ll show you my own “special technique to create extraordinary sound”. Rimshot. Thank you folks, I’ll be here at the Comedy Yert all week.
The designers will be using Swiss pine to create the production model of this big boy. Customers will have some input as to the wood, trunk length and type of sound the iPod dock puts out. I’ll wait for the Sequoia version to come out, cause I always go big or go home. No pricing yet, but are you seriously considering putting a log on your wall?

No Star Wars fan’s home is complete without a Han Solo Frozen in Carbonite Woven Throw
, another new exclusive Star Wars Shop item being rolled out for for San Diego Comic-Con International. This soft cotton blend throw measuring 52 by 68 inches would look great keeping you warm on the couch, hung on the wall, or used as a rug. It’s pretty much life sized, so if you’ve ever dreamed of having Harrison Ford hanging around in your home (and isn’t that everyone’s dream?), this is your chance. $59.99 from the Star Wars Shop.
To celebrate San Diego Comic-Con International 2010, the Star Wars Shop has just released a few awesome new exclusive items like this Lightsaber Bottle Opener
. This 5.5 inch long stainless steel tipped opener with a sculpted handle uses the Force to open your bottles. The Force of leverage that is. This is by far the coolest bottle opener ever. And it’s modeled after Luke’s lightsaber so you know it’s the goods. $16.99 only at the Star Wars Shop.
When you’re rolling heavy with a ball of juice you’ve gots to watch your back yo. What’s true in gang warfare is also true in the fruit carrying industry. If you’re sick and tired of carrying heavy watermelons everywhere you go (and who isn’t these days?) then maybe it’s time you stepped up to the plate a little bit and took responsibility for your life and bought yourself a rolling watermelon cooler.
Sure it’s $230 and you’ll have to import it from Japan but this is by far the most advanced watermelon cooling and transporting device on the market. It has a built in cooling cartridge that you can charge up via a car adapter. But wait, there’s more. The cartridge can also be used to HEAT up the watermelon, allowing you to stay toasty warm this winter with some nice hot watermelon. Because nothing says winter like watermelon (and here comes the Australian fans chiming in..3..2..1…). So save your back and get juiced everywhere you go. Don’t leave home without it.
