Carissa Browning crocheted these geektastic stockings basing herself on the hilarious aliens from Sesame Street. Unfortunately, they’re not available for sale, but if you know how to crochet or knit, the patterns are available for free on her Ravelry page.

Update: There’s one available for purchase here from a very talented artist.

The spaceship has landed, and any fan of late 20th century children’s public television will recognize these lovable aliens.

Crochet them or knit them, use them as holiday stockings, toy storage, kids’ laundry, whatever really!

You should also be prepared to play with ping pong balls and pipe cleaners, and do a little light sewing.

An absolutely gorgeous officially-licensed Star Wars Rebel Alliance purse by the folks from Thinkgeek:

Whatever the freight, move it Han Solo style with this Rebel Alliance purse. Made from supple faux leather in the colors of Han’s Empire Strikes Back outfit, it features a kisslock top closure, which is not only a nice and secure smuggler’s latch, but also, the name “kisslock” instantly reminds us of the budding romance between Han and Leia in that film. A luggage tag hangs from the strap, reading “Han Solo – captain – scoundrel – smuggler – nerf herder,” and there’s lots of places to hide your cargo inside, with one zippered pocket and two smaller pockets hiding in the interior. Carry it by the tote handles, or add the removable chain and faux leather shoulder strap for a secure crossbody carry that leaves your hands free to pilot the ship and make a quick escape.

In honor of May the Fourth this year, LEGO enthusiast Iain Heath (aka Ochre Jelly) has created a series of ugly Lego star wars characters to add to his already existing line of REJECTZ Lego creations.

From Iain Heath:

Previous REJECTZ collections include Super Heroes and Disney Princesses. The inspiration for REJECTZ came when LEGO recently released their BrickHeadz range of sets, which was their first attempt at brick-built characters. Compared to the kinds of characters builders like myself have been putting out for years, their effort seemed like kind of a mockery, so I set out to see if I could craft ones that were even uglier than theirs – but ugly in a good way!

For its first generation of self-driving cars, Uber partnered with automakers Ford and Volvo, and used the driving technology that it has developed itself on cars that it now owns. The transportation network company has now made a deal with Daimler AG to add the company’s Mercedes-Benz autonomous vehicles to the Uber fleet once they’re ready.

It’s no secret that ride-hailing apps like Uber are investing in driverless technology so they’ll be able to rely on human drivers less in the future. Humans have unfortunate habits of sleeping, eating, and using the restroom. Worse, some drivers have also been known to illegally discriminate against passengers, file lawsuits, assault passengers, and go on strike. Some of those things are objectively bad and others are just bad if you’re Uber, but relying less on human drivers is helpful either way.

The company also tries to give the driverless future a halo of safety and eco-friendliness: CEO Travis Kalanick predicts fewer cars sitting idle on paved parking lots and fewer accidents in the future when we’re able to hail roving autonomous cars instead of owning our own.

Uber’s current autonomous fleet consists of hybrid Ford Focus cars in Pittsburgh, and Volvo SUVs in Arizona that started out in San Francisco until the state DMV objected. The difference with the Daimler program is that Uber owns its current self-driving fleet, using its own driving technology and developing the cars with Ford and with Volvo. The Daimler cars will not belong to Uber, and will use Daimler’s own self-driving technology.

Instead, they’ll be part of an open platform where automakers sign their vehicles up to be part of Uber’s network. Now drivers sign up with the cars that they own or lease: in the future, automakers could sign up with their own driverless fleets.

There’s no date announced yet for when the Daimler cars will begin hitting the roads, and Uber also didn’t announce the financial arrangements.

From Mark Vandiepenbos:

Every year we make a costume for our daughter. Being a maker, we assemble and build from recycled parts and materials. This year I had the idea of making a toddler on a tricycle pulling our daughter around. Initial concept was to make everything foot controlled to give the illusion of the toddler peddling and steering.

From Thinkgeek:

This clever ring is hand-cast in solid sterling silver and mimics the Stargate, with two separate, highly detailed components: an outer ring and an inner ring. The outer ring has a three-dimensional design that features the nine chevrons (visible from both sides) and architectural detailing along the top. The inner ring sports a screen-accurate recreation of the glyphs that orient the Stargate, also visible from either side. The best part? The two rings actually spin around each other! The only thing missing is the artificial wormhole, and really that’s probably for the best. We wouldn’t want anyone losing a finger in a mini Chappa’ai. Feel free to give this ring a spin and see if you get to work faster, though!

Youtube channel “Macro Room” tried setting fire to steel wool and filmed the whole process using some macro lenses. As you’ll see, the footage is both beautiful and mesmerizing. I especially liked the part where they spun the wool on a rotating device, creating a fantastic light show that flew sparks all over the place.

We played with the steel wool burning reaction under our super macro lenses and the result is for you to enjoy!
