2gb USB Voltron for Japan relief efforts: http://incubot.com/japan/ While a Voltron USB unit has been available for some time (and very likely already reported on), this particular Voltron USB drive helps fund further relief for the Japanese Earthquake/Tsunami.

A fascinating article on Space Colony design in Science Fiction/Fact: http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/07/the-lost-dream-of-trippy-70s-space-colonies/242192/ What I really enjoyed about this was how it focused on the artistic aspects of people who thought these things up.

My God, maybe AT-AT for America isn't so insane after all; our US Army has an AT-AT prototype: http://dvice.com/archives/2011/05/us-armys-had-a.php The article explains how the US army had a fully functional AT-AT (4 legged walker) in the late 1960's.
