If there was ever a situation that called for fine stemware and even finer wine, it’s the 30th anniversary of Pac Man. Celebrate this momentous occasion with some vintage Lafite Rothschild and that special someone while you move a dot munching pixelated pie chart around a maze for old time’s sake. That’s what dreams are made of.

One of the trends I’m seeing right now is the desire to merge the home office with the kitchen. We have tiny microwaves, tiny fridges and a myriad USB devices that deal with food (I actually have a huge wine fridge in my home office, but that’s a whole other thing that I’ll probably have to work out in a 12-step program).
This pencil bowl is another one of those products that blurs the line between home office and kitchen. Use it to hold fruit and vegetables while it simultaneously functions as decorative storage for your writing implements.
From Nerd Approved twitter follower @GiftStumped RT@personalwine:
Looking for bizarre food/wine pairings. Elvis stuff like fried peanut butter bananas with zinfandel. I will RT good ones!
Grape Nuts and port.
Here are the top ten Nerd Approved Gadgets for the week of March 8th-14th, 2010:
Feature: 10 unique St. Patrick’s Day tools for opening beer and wine.
Kick-Ass Figures: These action figures really kick-ass.
The Wheelie Robot: Like a Segway that does your bidding.
Ninja Weapon Cellphone Charms: For highly skilled warriors.
Lian Li PC-T1R Case: Is not for people squeamish about spiders.
You’re gonna need some serious tools to open all of that beer and wine on St. Patricks Day. Unfortunately, I can’t help you with that—but I do have 10 completely ridiculous tools you might be interested in.
The whole cantina band is here, but they have diversified their services to include bartending. Check out the rest of the set after the break.
As promised with last week’s preview of the Cthulhu water bottle, Archie McPhee has also delivered on a 1936 vintage of Jackalope Tumbleweed wine. As any connoisseur will tell you, this vintage is truly exceptional—dry, with notes of sand and a long leather boot-flavored finish. Of course, you could fill it with just about anything from water to moonshine.

While it will be hard to stay on home keys with your butt cheeks, the Wolfgang Keyboard bench from designer Nolan Herbut (Her butt?) does cushion your ample hind quarters with pressable keys. It’s a non working concept of course, but I say version 2.0 should have a anus trackball.
I mean, you’re still drinking wine right? Oh wait, that’s a bottle of moonshine you made in a dumpster. My mistake!
