This thing uses Google Maps Street View to create a game where you try to guess where in the world you’ve been dropped. Then you get a score.

Bit Brigade.
Filling the whole in my heart left in The Advantage’s 6 year absense, Bit Brigade not only covers whole NES soundtracks, but does so while some dude beats the game from start to finish. I’m so in love with this.
MakerBot Thing-O-Matic 3D Printer Kit
This would make a great last-minute gift, if only it didn’t take 4-5 weeks to ship. Either way, I’d totally go in on this with someone.

Super Crunchers
An awesome book I have been reading about how statistical regressions are slowly but surely replacing expert intuition in pretty much every industry. Fuck you Mr. wine connoisseur, I have data and equations!
Courier
Holy Crap! It’s everything i would expect the Apple Tablet to be…only it’s made by Microsoft
The Power Glove. It's so bad.
The dude is annoying, but I never owned a power glove and always wondered how it worked. Now I know: horribly.
