I’m not sure what would spark the inspiration to style a gas mask after an Aperture Science Portal Gun, but it works! Incorporate it into your Portal cosplay or display it in your gas mask collection (people collect everything). If you decide to order one, I’d ask if it’s functional before you try to use it to protect yourself from GLaDOS.
Speaking of buying your own, Two Horns United is taking names for a waiting list. He’ll be fulfilling orders this summer, and the mask will cost $280.

Macetech has developed an interesting set of LED glasses that look like something people in 1983 would expect people of 2012 to be wearing. Although the glasses have been featured in a Lytro gallery, a recent Reddit post seems to provide the only details:
The shades are a 20×6 matrix (with some pixel missing of course) driven by SPI from an integrated Arduino-compatible in the right temple. There is a Lithium-Polymer battery on the left temple. You can charge the glasses through USB, and download new code to it over the same connection. A button on the right temple allows switching between modes or auto cycling animated patterns.
Currently, there’s no word on whether the specs will eventually be sold at all, let alone as a finished product or kit.
Hit the jump to check out a 10 second video of the glasses doing their thing.

Aw, look at the cute little TARDIS. I love it and I want it. This is just one of the amazing geeky hair bows you can find in the Nerdagerie Etsy store. The seller also has the TriForce logo and all the Pokemon you could ever hope to catch. Your only problem is deciding where to put them all. Wait, if that TARDIS bow is bigger on the inside then your problem is solved!

To the casual observer, this is a nice little patriotic bracelet, but to those in the know, it is clearly a Captain America bangle bracelet. It has his signature shield and silver stars and will look perfect on your wrist this Fourth of July. Or, if Gods are more your style, you can opt for Thor dangle earrings complete with lighting bolts and itty bitty Mjolnirs. Either way, your outfit will look perfectly assembled with these accessories.

I’ve never wanted to get holes in my ear lobes big enough to plug until I saw these custom pieces by Marc Short. I’m still not taking the plunge (which is just as well since these aren’t for sale) but his designs are definitely the coolest and most stylish plugs I’ve seen. He’s got designs including Pokeballs, Mario and Luigi, Pac-Man, Donkey King (with neat-o bases that look like wooden barrels), and more.

Forget about getting the whole world in a ring, you can go for the whole universe. This stunning piece of jewelry is made from a freaking meteorite and displays beautiful gemstones which represent the planets of our solar system. Wow.
This ring features a complete band of Gibeon Meteorite framed and mounted in an 18k gold band. The meteorite has been etched with nitric acid to reveal the characteristic patterns, or Widmanstatten figures, of iron meteorites, and set with 9 gemstones representing the planets of our Solar System. Mercury is represented by a rust colored Sapphire, Venus a golden Sapphire, Earth an irradiated blue Diamond, Mars a Ruby, Jupiter an Opal, Saturn a Cats Eye Chrysoberyl with an inlaid 24k gold ring, Uranus a green Sapphire, Neptune a blue Sapphire and Pluto a black Diamond.
The coolest part is that the band of meteorite is separate from the interior gold ring. The planets can rotate around your finger. Yeah, I’m drooling too. You can invest in this tiny universe at a starting price of $3,600.

If you’re trying to show just a little bit of geek flair with an otherwise normal hair accessory, then you’re going to want these hair bows. Each is handmade and can even be customized with your choice of ribbons. Personally, I’d like to see Darth Vader’s sensitive side with a little pink ribbon, maybe even with white polka dots or some gingham.
