Applephiles will surely recognize Susan Kare’s old school icons and fonts. She’s the one that designed all those user system and application icons that we have grown accustomed to. The MoMA store has a mousepad with one of her most popular and beloved icons, the Macintosh smiling computer. Would make the perfect gift for any Apple geek. Retails for $14. Magnets are also available.

Sure Apple offers you free engraving when you purchase an iPod, but why be confined to two lines of text? Adafruit Industries will laser etch anything onto your prized possession, be it a love letter, logo, cartoon, etc. Just send over an EPS or AI file and they’ll take care of the rest.

Which real estate space is looked at everyday and often? Why, your cellphone desktop of course. For only $1.99 each, you can decorate it with an original work of art. StartMobile.com has a dizzying array of artists’ [some very well known, most emerging and/or underground] works made into downloadable wallpapers. The only caveat is that it currently only works for T-Mobile, Cingular, and AT&T phones, and you must also have internet access.
Are you as excited as I am about the upcoming Transformers movie? What’s not to like… they’re robots and they’re in disguise. Have 80’s flashbacks by making your very own Paperformers. Cosmic Rust has detailed instructions and print-outs of various Autobots and Decepticons that you can download… although, somehow they’re missing Optimus Prime and Megatron. No matter, carry on with making your mini robotic army.
