Everything is better with a little brick. Sure, we’ve got the Lego Moleskine notebooks coming soon, but this journal with stackable covers is nifty. It’s made from 5″ Lego base plates, and you can distract yourself from writing in it by building on it instead. Perfect.

QMx is offering Doctor Who fans an “extremely limited edition” example of the 11th Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver. As part of the QMx Artisan Master Series, the prop has been completely handmade by Nick Robatto, who has been the prop maker for the show since it rebooted in 2005. Each Sonic Screwdriver takes two weeks to make and consists of 148 aluminum, copper, brass, resin and leather components. Like the example seen on screen, the prop also extends, opens and lights up. The custom-built, lighted display stand features text in the language of Gallifrey, as well as the edition number and Nick Robatto’s autograph.
If you want one of these props, you’ll want to sign up for the waiting list on the product page as soon as possible, as only 25 will be made at a whopping $4000 each.

The iPad’s $500 price point is really good by Apple standards, but it’s still a chunk of change—especially in a tough economy. At least one Apple fanatic has resorted to building his own iPad out of felt to save money. Sure, it looks like it was designed by a drunk Matisse, but it does provide a soft haptic feedback that original iPad simply lacks.
