Eternal Image has announced a line of Star Trek funeral gear. Great for that last trip into the heavens. Featured is both a Star Trek Urn and a Star Trek Coffin. Are you geeky enough to demand this gear in your will?

The Star Trek Urn is designed to resemble the 24th century feel of the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet and will be available in late 2007. The coffin is based on the design of the photon torpedo from The Wrath Of Khan and will be available in 2008. For those of you planning to die within the next year, you might want to pre-order one of these. (more…)

Icuiti VR920 makes us wonder why Geordi was so melancholy

Winner of the 2007 CES innovations award, the Icuiti VR920 brings us one step closer to a Star Trek-esque world of designer technological eye wear. The headset creates the illusion of watching a 62-inch screen from 9 feet away, with a resolution of 640×480. And from the look on the womans face, the picture looks as cool as it sounds.

Seeing the VR920 raises a monumental question. Why was Geordi LaForge always so serious if he had this hot gadget over his eyes constantly? Their’s probably more to the story then we are privy to (we happen to be Star Wars guys), but if we had access to something similar to this, we’d have an expression closer to the womans. The VR920 is not yet available, but will likely be awesome. — Andrew Dobrow
