Microsoft Game Studios Software Development Engineer Ray Arifianto’s soon-to-be wife had this custom USB wedding band made for him. Why? Because flash memory is the language of looooove. Psyche, it’s actually COBOL C++. The gold ring isn’t actually a functional USB drive, but its design is reminiscent of one. The interior is engraved with the words, “For a lifetime of memories,” an allusion to the USB’s storage capabilities. Aww! Shouldn’t it actually go on the thumb? Get it?! You know it’s a really beautiful thing when two people decide to share their lives together. Unfortunately, there’s something about me that sends all my relationships packing. BUT I THOUGHT WE SHARED SOMETHING SPECIAL! And I’m not just talking about clothes.

The Gear Ring from Kinekt has functional gears in the middle that allow the bezel to rotate . And that’s pretty much it. No lasers or anything. They’re available in US sizes 9-12 for $165, and may need to be oiled from time to time. Not unlike the Tin Man! Who, fun fact: is not a robot. Don’t get me wrong, I’d still crush his ass on my face like an empty beer can, he just isn’t a robot. No laughing, Lion, you’re next. Hit the jump for a video of the ring in action (with bonus sausage pinky at 0:17!).

How often do I ask you for anything? Almost never, right? Well now I’m asking you for something. Where can I buy and/or get the materials to make this dinosaur necklace ? Because I want one. And, even if my girlfriend doesn’t know it yet, she wants one too. I think if I could just stroke those lucky dino bones while I write, this blog would stop sucking so hard. And by sucking I mean suckling . Nipples. GEEKOLOGIE IS THE TITS. Cool Dinosaur Necklace [collthings] Thanks to Mel and Tiff, who had matching dino-bone anklets until I hid under their car and cut them off when they were unlocking the doors. I got dragged 8 blocks but it was worth it. And to Jessica, who kicked the knife out of my hand and backed over me.

The DiamondNite Diamond Moissanite Tester can discern between synthetic diamonds and real diamonds within just 1.5 seconds. That’s if the diamond is made of silicon carbide , of course—synthetic diamonds that are chemically identical to carbon diamonds will remain nearly impossible to tell from those dug up from the dirt.
