This bullet was designed by the Australian firm 21.19 for Bita Hairdarian’s documentary Finding Bidi. I wonder if they can make these in 5.56 to light up the AR-15. [via]

Merry Christmas.

Are you sick of using your mouse and MS Paint to draw on your computer? Be like the pros and get a top of the line graphics tablet from Wacom. The Cintiq 21UX is a 21.3 inch TFT display graphics tablet (@ 1600 x 1200 resolution) which has 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity to ensure the tablet picks up every detail of your drafting. You can use it as your primary monitor, or use it with multiple displays. The pen of the Wacom Cintiq 21UX has an easily replaceable felt tip (to insure proper friction), and programmable side switches that allow you to program your most common actions into the pen itself. In addition the tablet features 2-finger-sensitive touch strips that serves as a natural way to zoom, scroll, or change brush size. For more features see the video after on the next page.

I am a huge fan of fisheye photography, but couldn’t get into it because the equipment is too expensive. Thats why “I was all over it” when this fisheye camera from Paul Smith ($150) came out. It features a fisheye No2 lens, a 180 degree wide-angle view, and runs on 35mm film. More images.

I didn’t vote for you but you made history, and Lincoln would be proud. What better way to celebrate history than with a President Barack Obama Collectible Statue ($14). Or you can order him with his friend John McCain for $23.

I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’ for this guitar!

Custom Art Series Guitar from Blue Öyster Cult Legend

Eric Bloom, guitar god and frontman for Blue Oyster Cult, is known for cowbell – and for the many unusual guitars he’s played, from his Renaldo Custom BÖC-Logo shaped guitar, to his custom-airbrushed guitars, to his still-classic custom-made Gibson SG’s.

Sure, you can see some of these guitars at several Hard Rock Cafés around the world, but why stop there? Together with a renowned artist, Bloom has created a limited number of unique, hand-painted guitars that reflect some of BÖC’s biggest hits. AND ONE IS STILL AVAILABLE.

Got $4,000 burning a hole in your pocket? Then Bloom’s “City’s On Flame” guitar can be yours, yours, yours. More than a great guitar, it’s an incredible collectible – something to spice up your décor and your conversation.

But wait, there’s more…Bloom will play your guitar at an upcoming BÖC show, then autograph it and give it to you at that show. Talk about delivery that delivers..

This is the only guitar left from his current series, and if I had a spare $4K it would be mine already.
