Glow in the dark mushrooms
Hallmark's delightful miniature "The Menagerie" is advertised as a way to "relive moments from Star Trek's beloved two-part episode featuring the radiation-scarred Captain Christopher Pike." This would be a great Thanksgiving centerpiece, or topper for your toilet-paper cozy.

In praise of IBM ThinkPad warranty service
It sometimes feels like every time we mention a big company's products or services here, it's to shame them for doing something terrible or making something awful. But every now and again, you get something wonderful out of a big company, and it's worth celebrating, loudly. This time, it's IBM's ... More.
Jugaad: India's duct-tape ingenuity
Dave sez, "I'm an American who blogs about life in New Delhi. I recently published an essay about 'jugaad': the semi-untranslatable practice and philosophy of jerry-rigging that is one of the prides of India. Once you look for jugaad in India, you see it everywhere: water pumps converted into cars,... More.
The Lost Art of Cable Lacing
BB pal Gareth Branwyn has a really cool post up over at Make about the "lost knowledge" of cable lacing. This method of cable management preceded zipties, and was used in "the telecom industry, aerospace, marine applications, and elsewhere," he says. Gar's post includes some wonderful detail photo...

There's a video. You forget to mention the video.
Yes, there's dialog from the episode and Pike's light works!
Oh, what brave new world, that has such tschotkes in it!

Bender: I'd only met the defendant, Fry, once, but I knew he was up to no good.
Zap Brannigan: Use the beeps!
IT FUCKING LIGHTS UP?!
Wow - it really doesn't get much better than this, does it?
It appears to also be a CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENT!

My first thought when I saw this was that Kirk and Spock were playing Family Feud.
"Dialog from the episode"...? So it goes "boop boop"?
"Beloved" and "radiation-scarred" together make for a creepy sentence.
It'd be a great hack to add a little RC unit underneath Pike, so he could wheel around. Another would be to add controls to the lights so Pike could 'answer' Yes/No questions like in the original episode.
Does anyone else think Spock just buzzed in ahead of Kirk on some awesome episode of Family Fortunes?
yeah, what Nosehat said... guess I'm more up on Dr. Who than Star Trek.
