Gifts for Nerds
Floating Lightbulb
This is the coolest piece of decor in my living room right now. I may need to get another one for my work/studio area.
Novium Hoverpen
Precision engineering, luxury feel, super cool floating floatiness! Owning it automatically makes you feel rich. Buying it makes you feel poor 😉
FerroFluid - Venom in a Bottle
This stuff is fascinating to play with, whether you’re 5 years old or 50. Also a cool way to teach electromagnetism. Also might be an alien parasite.

Air Purifier
This has been the best bang for buck air purifier out there for years, even at it’s normal ~$185-$190 pricing. Now it’s down to $133!
- Great for rooms ~500 sq ft, still a solid effect for the 500-100 sq ft range.
- Top Wirecutter pick
- Best combo of coverage, noise, and price (including year 1 filter) in this analysis of 50+ air purifiers!
Note: The effectiveness of any filter-based air purifier is a direct function of it’s fan speed. When shopping for any air purfier, look for something that says “CADR” or “Clean Air Delivery Rate.” As a rule of thumb, aim for a CADR of ~50% the square footage you’re trying to treat, assuming ~8.5’ ceilings.
