This is far from good, apparently, due to dwindling growers and a warehouse fire, there has been a shortage in the growing of hops, for thise of you that dont know, hops is what makes beer, gods nectar. We must help, maybe there should be a new charity campaign setup.Cost of hops crops hits tops: Won't someone please think of the beer? - Boing Boing
Help the hops.

They are adorable
This is an awesome piece of ingenuity, allowing people to create their own water purifier from crisp packets, and other waste items. Whilst this means that sadly countrie that sell prepackaged goods can make use of this, it is for sure a step in the right direction, not only keeping them healthy, but educating people on the science of what they are doing.ISEF: Sterilizing Water with Trash! | EcoGeek
So thumbs up, lets eat more crisps to clean some water
I think I am in tshirt heaven, I don't need more clothes, yet I want to buy every last one from this shop . You see they aren't just run of the mill obvious t-shirts, a lot of them use logos and emblems from the backgrounds in the films, not just a big picture of an alien with the slogan 'in space no one can hear you scream'. Instead there is a penetentiary t-shirt, or one with the nostromo emblem on.
A must have at some point for me, but i think the one for me is 'Dapper Dan' or 'the overlook hotel' shirts. Any gifts, much appreciated :-D

This may look ugly to some, but I think it looks really nice. It's by a New York artist called Damon Ginandes, and has definately made this otherwise dull, and ugly block look full of life.design fckr™ | Featured | The Work of Damon Ginandes
This is a t-shirt of famous robots that I would love to wear with pride each day (although the geek in me must state that certain creatures portrayed such as a Dalek are my Cybernetic Organism than robot, but hey, it's still pretty cool). I can name too may of the robots in this t0shirt, does that make me a sci-fi geek, or well educated in the world of futuristic media?Chop Shop / Tee Shirts / weRobot
Why oh why didn't they advertise this. I'd have gone with some deckchairs and popcorn to which a bigassed explosion that harms no one. Look at the size of it, NICEGiant WWII mine detonated at English seaside town - Boing Boing
Some days, there are so many cool things in the world. This is just a nice piece, stackable bowls, that have a nice area for holding your spoon, similar idea to the chopstick holding bowl, but for us westerners who look like, well, spoons when we use chopsticks.Bowl with spoon-rest - Boing Boing
This is one of those book covers that makes you salivate and want to hug someone. I get so bored with ordinary covers. I love the embossed hardback art some people to direct onto the book, but this is a pricey process. Not that using three sheets of paper is cheap (or that great for the environmant), but it looks really nice. And the cutout in the center is simple, but effective. I want this book just to show off to my friends.Jordan Crane's amazing cover for Michael Chabon's Maps and Legends - Boing Boing
Blog over board today I think, but come on, loads of bees stinging penn and teller. Awesome
I for one (and my friends for a few more) loved Sillofs steampunk justic league he modded and posted online a while back. Now he is back, and with start wars steampunk, and they look no less cool in the slightest. The detail he has put into darth vader as far as the photo shows, is awesome. These are definately items I would love to have in my flat (although I dare say my better half would want them in a cupboard and out of sight).#Steampunk Star Wars modded action figures -- woah! - Boing Boing
These are also interesting as recently there was also some steampunk star wars artwork buzzing round the internet. I would love it if Lucas joined with some leading anime artists to make a steampunk star wars film.
Ah well, still want 'em
Wow, an interesting short article on why iron man is anti linux, and representative of the windows/linux war.Iron Man: Iron Man Armor Now Comes With Proprietary Software
And dell are in with not only making their computers run using less energy, but this beauty contains recycled plastic bottles, and, like previous posted computers, is encased in bamboo. It just looks really nice, and is small to, so will take up less desk space. and what about putting it in your bag and carrying it around with you, hmm, maybe not that small, probably not too light either.Dell Unveils A Wooden Desktop for the Greens | EcoGeek
Solar roof tiles may sound daft when you can just have one big solar panel for less money, but, these would not only keep old tiled building aesthetically fitting with their surroundings, but also, if one break,s only a small part needs to be replaced, not the whole damned thing.
