some cool, science-y type stuff:

Fossilized snowflakes. I wish I lived somewhere where I could try this. It sounds very cool.

Ripping records straight to an iPod. I love this for its Rube Goldbergian quality, and also for the fact that you could FINALLY transfer those 78s to a medium where they can be listened to on-demand without searching for a fresh phonograph needle or fearing that you'll drop them and make them shatter.

I am not a beer drinker, but if I were, I'd want a t-shirt with Adam Savage's "Science, plus Beer, equals Good!" equation from Mythbusters*. Here's another example of Science+Beer=Good or at least Amusing. (It can post the drinker's BAC to a website).


(*Apparently the only t-shirt they currently sell has the Mythbusters logo and the words "Human Guinea Pig" on it. But I think they could make a killing with "Science plus Beer equals Good" and also with "I reject your reality and substitute my own" Or other catchphrases. The nerdy fanbase would probably eat it up - nerdy fans ALWAYS want t-shirts with the catchphrases on them)
