Yes! Just in time for winter comes a hat that will surely satisfy your tentacle fetish. They are hats that resemble squid and are handmade by Mike, aka MikeST on Flickr. Two of the tentacles contain mittens; a neat feature on headwear that’s already pretty creative!
Found on Flickr user Andi Butler’s page, I like the look of these Star Wars cupcakes due to their aged and rustic design. Instead of happy Yoda with happy colors, we get sort of a dystopian, Warhol-styled set of characters on top of delicious-looking cupcakes. No seriously, these cupcakes look really tasty.
Hit the jump to see the cast of characters I’m referring to, as well as a link to the rest of Andi’s Flickr shots. Reminds me of the work of Ian Dingman somewhat.

Supporting the Obama campaign can be tiring, unless you build your own stool out of the handlebars from your bike. Then of course, you’d ride your bike with no handlebars.
Spotted on Make, Flickr user Xnedski found this Obama supporter carrying bike handlebars. As you can see, this man carries his handlebar stool everywhere. It beats wearing a garbage bag for a seat.
Ever wonder what other gadgeteers are carrying around inside their laptop bags? Surely a computer of some sort and a phone, but what about all that other junk bulging at the seams? Core77 has a great Flickr roundup of photos that showcase the inside of people’s bags. Among some of the items included, we found a joystick, SD cards, books, DAPs, iPhones, keyboards, headphones, stickers, pens and so much more.
What’s in your laptop bag? I tend to keep it light and usually only carry my laptop, books, chargers and iPod. Sometimes I like to bring my Nikon D40 DSLR with me as well.
Found on Flickr user Tableauvivant’s page, this above photo shows the musical components of a Hallmark musical greeting card. I must say, this is quite surprising. I was sent a few musical cards back in May and when I took them apart, I found a tiny PCB with a piezo speaker and some other circuitry. This appears to be a speaker with gears and cardboard. Very cool. I wonder how you could hack this thing to make it play different tunes.

When Wolfenstein 3-D and Flickr wanted to get married, I gave them my best wishes. Just kidding, software and photo sharing sites can’t get married, silly. They can, however, be fused. Thanks to some anonymous geek with Javascript skills, this mashup of the popular FPS shooter game and photo sharing site takes the best from both and allows users to see their pictures hanging in the galleries of the Third Reich. That’s actually kind of creepy, now that I think about it.
It’s simple to use: just enter your Flickr username and let the app collect your photos. It then maps them on to the walls of a 3-D maze resembling Castle Wolfenstein. Awesome concept but it performs rather sluggishly when high res photos are taken into account, or if you just have a slow computer. Hey, it beats having Nazi propaganda on the walls.
It wouldn’t be Monday without the obligatory Star Wars post. This Star Wars themed wedding posted on Flickr has all the guests dressed in their favorite Star Wars characters. The groom as Admiral Ackbar is for some strange reason or another settling for some Corellian chick. Where are all the Mon Calamari women?
Complete with an At-At Walker based cake, this wedding had nearly everything. Holy moly, even Lobot made an appearence:
