Solid Alliance Goes Goth, Crams 2GB RAM into Skull Ring
A skull ring with 2GB of RAM squeezed inside. Scary. What else is there to say? It'll go nicely with your skull-and-bones motif keyboard and mouse... but probably won't cheer you up on a dreary winter's morn. Particularly when you find out one will set you back $145. [GeekStuff4U via Akihabaranews]

Lisco USB Snake Combines Jewelry, USB Cable in One Wearable Device
Designer Laurent Hongisto has crafted the Lisco USB Snake as an attempt to solve that age-old (ok... decade-old) dilemma of never having a USB cable handy when you need one to charge/connect-up your device. So the design combines elements of those '90s "slap bracelets" with a USB A to mini-USB cable, wrapped up in colorful polyurethane and designed to be carried around on your wrist. Hmmm. Ok... so it looks kinda odd, and do you know anyone who'd want to wear this as jewelry, let alone anyone who's frequently that desperate for a USB cable? It doesn't have the geek-chic of the USB watch, and looks like it's aimed at the teen girl market. Sooo, this'll remain firmly in concept-land, methinks. [Yanko Design]

Eyelid Jewelry Contact Lenses: Just Seeing Them Makes Eyes Water

Just don't think too much about the eyelid jewelery from designer Eric Klarenbeek, or your eyes too will fill up in sympathy with that poor model.

Precious Metal Cover Makes Jewelry of Apple Bluetooth Headset
Apple's Bluetooth headset is already small and stylish, but designer Andi Monn has come up with a way of adding to it that also improves its utility. His headset "sleds" slide over the device and turn it into techy jewelry, of a sort. Plus they let you carry the gizmo around without wearing it in your ear, and thus you avoid looking overly geeky. The headset is held inside magnetically, and the sleds come with a keyring so you can carry it around discretely, if that's your fancy. However, since they're available in high-grade brushed steel, .925 Sterling silver (or other precious metals, on request) and cost around $253, then hiding them in your pocket is probably the last thing you want to do.

Custom Nervous System Jewelry is Carved to Your Algorithmic Designs
Designers Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg have come up with a mathematical way to design jewelry. Via their Nervous System site, you steer open source "Processing" algorithms to produce a pattern you like. This is then machined by water-jet, etched and even gold-plated for you into real jewelry. Currently they've got a particle algorithm dubbed Radiolaria (think: bubbles in glass) and a diffusion-limited one, Dendrite (think: coral) but will soon add a tree-like Algae one. The prices vary, of course, depending on what you want—the gold necklace in the image costs $70. If you prefer, you can choose a pre-made pattern... but where's the fun in that?

Concept Jewelry Celebrates Birth With Plasticized Human Milk
Did you know that science has made it possible to turn milk into a plastic by solidifying the casein it contains? Well, you do now. But I bet you'd never think of using the technique to turn human breast milk into a "jewel" of sorts, and then use that to make a necklace. But that's exactly what French design team Duende are suggesting. Titled "Perle de Lait" their jewelry range is part of a bigger upcoming art exhibit that celebrates birth and explores "sharing of food between mother and child." It's a pretty amazing idea, though I'm not sure I know many people who'd wear it. Also to be exhibited is a set of "placenta coffins." Weird. There's a detailed preview over at Dezeen if you've got the nerve. [Dezeen]

Pillow Ring: Mobile Naps For People With Tiny, Tiny Heads
I am all about taking naps whenever the opportunity presents itself. The problem is that getting comfortable is often a major obstacle when there is no bed in sight. The Pilo Pilo ring from the Downstairs Studio offers a solution by attaching a tiny cushion to the end of a ring so that you can prop your head up on a soft surface. Unfortunately, those of us with freakish cartoon heads would probably find this method to be ineffective. What we need is something with more surface area—like a pillow book or pillow glove.

CAT5 Wedding Bands Pronounce You Geek and Geek
Here's something from 2004 worth bringing up again as it circulates the blogs. I am guessing that wedding bands featuring male and female 8P8C Ethernet connectors have a somewhat limited demand. I mean, sure I have met geeks that would be right into this, but never a pair of them, though the fact that they are sold out tells me that they do exist. For those that do want to confirm their geekiness and love in one fell swoop, the sterling silver and plastic rings are available on Etsy at $175 for the set. [Etsy via Gadgetell via DVICE] -

Skull PCB Bracelet Brings Back High School Memories

Remember Ring Gives You a Burning Reminder
The Remember Ring has a special nagging feature, using its "Hot Spot" technology that warms up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 seconds, every hour, on the hour, beginning 24 hours before that "special day," apparently honoring the anniversary of your voluntary servitude. That's supposed to be warm enough to be uncomfortable but not hot enough to burn you. The Remember Ring converts the heat from your hand into electricity using a micro-thermo pile, keeping that battery charged and its heat-bomb clock ticking away, ready to burn you again next year.

Fingerprint Jewelry: Unquestionably Yours
So this isn't really gadgety or anything, but it certainly has a geek quotient to it. You send a copy of your fingerprint to fancy schmancy jewelery maker Piaget, and they'll make a watch or pendant design out of it.

eBay Deal of the Day: Boeing B-52 Bomb and Rocket Control Panel
The "gadget-girls" over at eBay have managed to get their hands on a nice piece of vintage memorabilia for all of those interested in death and destruction. This is the bomb and rocket control panel that was once in a B-52. Surprisingly this control panel is in excellent condition. All knobs and switches are in functional order and the paint job is also well done. This gem came from a former Boeing engineer, but unfortunately there is no data or information tag on the panel for more specific identification. The potential with this is endless.
