Fall of Magic<\/strong><\/a>
\nThis is one of the most interesting looking RPG\/board games I’ve seen. The primary piece is a scroll that you unscroll as the game progresses, revealing more locations and story. I really like the idea of the game being revealed as you go along in this way. They promise the game has replay-ability, which it better have at the price!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Fall of Magic is a game of collaborative storytelling were we play a group of travelers in the company of the Magus. The game follows a literary tradition of the fantasy journey where the character\u2019s relationships, transformations, and experiences take center stage.<\/p>\n

The game features an elegant rule set and stunning presentation including a canvas scroll which unrolls as we travel, revealing perilous roads, strange hosts, and fantastic locales. The scroll is over 5\u2019 (1.5m) in length and is masterfully illustrated by award-winning artist Doug Keith.”<\/p>\n

Fibonacci Clock<\/strong><\/a>
\nI love the Fibonacci sequence, and this clock uses the first 5 numbers of the sequence to tell you the time. There is math involved and you have to remember what color means what. So I don’t think I want to think quite that much to figure out the time. But it looks really cool, and would be a fun clock to have around.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“I present to you the Fibonacci Clock, a clock for nerds with style. Beautiful and fun at the same time, the clock uses the famous Fibonacci sequence to display time in a brand new way. The Fibonacci Clock has been designed for curious and inventive people who like a time piece that keeps them on their toes.”<\/p>\n

CHIP- The World’s Smallest Computer<\/strong><\/a>
\nThis is a $9 computer. That’s crazy. It has 1 GHz processor, 512 MB of ram, and 4GB of storage, and connect to WiFi and Bluetooth. I want one just to play around with! If you spend $40 more you can get the PocketCHIP, which has a small touchscreen, keyboard, and battery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“C.H.I.P. is a computer. It\u2019s tiny and easy to use.<\/p>\n

C.H.I.P. does computer things. Work in LibreOffice and save your documents to C.H.I.P.\u2019s onboard storage. Surf the web and check your email over wifi. Play games with a bluetooth controller. With dozens of applications and tools preinstalled, C.H.I.P. is ready to do computer things the moment you power it on.<\/p>\n

C.H.I.P. is a computer for students, teachers, grandparents, children, artists, makers, hackers, and inventors. Everyone really. C.H.I.P. is a great way to add a computer to your life and the perfect way to power your computer based projects.”<\/p>\n

A Feminist Deck<\/strong><\/a>
\nThis deck will be full of cards featuring feminists that are currently active within the community. I think it’s great to have a project celebrating women and their work in a variety of fields. Unfortunately, this project has come under attack from various internet groups due to it’s content. There will be a variety of decks to choose from, but here’s info on the main one being offered.<\/p>\n

“The Main Deck: The main deck has 56 cards, each highlighting a feminist writer, artist, game dev, activist or other creator. Each card is in the style of the old Fleer Marvel trading cards, with a big picture on one side and facts, quotes and recommendations on where to find their work on the other side.”<\/p>\n

Wink Pens<\/strong><\/a>
\nThese pens let you use any liquid that has a staining pigment as ink. So if you’ve been wanting to draw with wine, coffee, tea, or beer you should check this out. I kind of want to write all my letters with cheap wine now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“The basis for the branding, WINK, was derived from the concept of using \u201cwine as ink\u201d but the pen can be loaded with virtually any liquid that possesses a staining property.<\/p>\n

The idea of using raw inks was something I thought of while working on a concept for a sustainable printer, during which I learned that inks\u2014even those made with vegetable and soy\u2014used in traditional printers are not 100% biodegradable. From the printer project, I re-evaluated my approach toward product design as a whole and began taking into consideration the full cycle of products; everything from how materials are first sourced to the manufacturing processes, as well as environmental foot prints pre and post-consumer use. Being inspired I ran with the idea of integrating alternative inks leading me eventually to the creation of the WINKpen!<\/p>\n

In essence, the WINKpen was born from the desire to create a sustainable alternative to something that many of us use in our daily lives. Traditional pens are, more often than not, disposable products; once the pre-loaded ink stem is exhausted, they essentially just become empty plastic cases that inevitably wind up in a land-fill somewhere. With with the WINKpen, however, an ink reload can be found right there in your kitchen.”<\/p>\n

Ctrl-Alt-Del 1.0: The Box<\/strong><\/a>
\nI used to read Ctrl-Alt-Del religiously, and now you can enjoy this long running webcomic in book form. If you’re a fan or have been a fan of this series, it’s definitely worth checking out!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“The Ctrl+Alt+Del 1.0 Box Set houses the entire first ten years of the comic. Everything from the first strip in 2002 to the end of the original Ethan and Lucas story arc in 2012.<\/p>\n

Each 8″x12″ book is a cloth-wrapped, foil-stamped hardcover, and includes a matte dustjacket with front\/back synergy artwork. The title and volume number reside on the spine. Inside, the comics are arranged two-per-page, side by side on quality matte art stock. Each comic is printed from my original, high-resolution Photoshop files and is accompanied by the title and original publish date.”<\/p>\n
