Celestron NexStar 5SE by Tim Yu
For stargazers bored with looking at common constellations like the Big Dipper and Orion's Belt, Celestron's NexStar 5 SE is a pro-level telescope for amateurs. I got a chance to try it the other night and was blown away with the clarity and ease of use. At 18 lbs. it's highly portable and with 40,000 celestial bodies preprogrammed with coordinates, just type in "Saturn" and you'll be examining its rings in no time. For photographers, the Nexstar also features a camera control that allows you to take a series of timed exposures using your digital SLR camera.
Speaking of astronomy, keep a look out early Tuesday morning (EST), 28 August 2007, for a total Lunar Eclipse.
Available for $800 here.

Periodic Rings
Brooklyn-based husband-and-wife team, Itsnoname, bring some sexy back to the periodic table of elements. While the solid platinum version might be a bit too costly for most, the sterling silver ring should enable anyone to put their gangster nerd stamp on foreheads—or at least make it seem that way.via Computerlove...

Stringless Pleasure Stereo System
by Brian FichtnerAudiophiles have had a tough time of it in recent years. Ever since the digital music revolution made it possible for music lovers to archive entire collections on a hard drive, high fidelity and the golden age of home audio equipment have all but disappeared.

HYmini
I recently got to check out the HYmini renewable power source for a bit at the Greener Gadgets Conference in NY. In fact, I poached a little charge from it for my camera, which gave me just enough juice to get me through the event. Ask anyone from the Pacific Northwest during this time of year, sunshine can't always be counted on and definitely...
