Today: science and fun.

In science, the periodic table is enjoying a resurgence of popularity. Now there's a periodic table of the internet, and a collaboration of artists is creating a tangible version of the original table, too.

Everyone makes fun of me for being a devoted Thompson Twins fan in the '80s. But did YOUR favorite band have a computer game of their very own? (Journey fans, don't answer that.)

The cute little knitted and crocheted figures have infiltrated the sci-fi world. I'd like to see a knitted Death Star. With exploding action!

If you liked the Baby Name Wizard, you will love Nymbler, which asks for your favorite names and then provides other possibilities based on your preferences. Hours of fun!
