Cat Taylor is a “Keeper of Scrolls/Behind the Scenes writer on the set of Game of Thrones.” She recently tweeted a small picture of a conference table the crew uses and asked readers to guess what it was. It turns out this awesome table’s surface is actually the impregnable gates of Qarth. I imagine that its presence alone makes any meeting more epic and dramatic.

No one does sexy notebooks like Moleskine. They’ve teamed up with all kinds of franchises to make drool-worthy, fancy books of paper. Though they’ve had the Star Wars styles in their catalog for a little while, they’ve just announced new limited edition planners for 2014. You can plan by the week or the day, and you can choose from several different covers. There are versions with Han Solo, Yoda, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and more. It’s making me question how many day planners I can reasonably use in a year.

This idea for a Super Mario Bros. themed lamp is incredibly clever. It’s made from black iron pipes and has a single light. You operate the lamp with the pull chain on the left (with Mario), and the switch is built into the pipe. You can choose different characters, too!
Simple and perfect. The lamp’s made to order and will ship within 7-10 days after purchase.

I know it takes a certain kind of brilliance to make something this detailed and intricate out of a pencil, but part of me wants to stick the pencil in my eye so I can UNSEE THIS. Kudos to DeviantARTist CERKAHEGYZO on the remarkable work though.

The more fun you can make office supplies the better, and it doesn’t get much more creative than this pirate pencil sharpener. You can give him a new peg leg every time you need to use a writing utensil. He’ll appreciate the diversity.

In this day and age when most of us are glued to our computers and electronic devices, error messages are scary. If my internet goes down or some vital program stops functioning I panic a little. Therefore, these sticky notes that look just like those frightening pop up windows would stop me in my tracks.
I’d get used to them eventually but at first, they’d get all of my attention. You can get a stack of notes that includes both Warning and Error messages. Just remember they won’t be as effective on Mac users.

The 3Doodler is a kickstarter with 32 days to go and it’s already smashed through its $30,000 goal, raising well over $1 million as of this writing! What is the 3Doodler? It’s a pen that has a continuos loop of plastic that passes through the body. The plastic is warmed as it goes in and cooled as it comes out so you can actually draw right off the page and up into the air to create a 3D image. You can pledge now and get yourself a 3Doodler with an assortment of colored plastic to get you started. Stretch goals haven’t been announced, but they plan to reveal them soon.
