Samurai Star Wars! I would totally buy these. They'd be a step up from the old Portal posters I have up in my office.

Robert Heinlein's fan mail response letter. After seeing the cool conveniences he built into his house, it doesn't surprise me he was this efficient.

Author John Scalzi's super-secret project? He's about to publish the world's first reboot of another sci-fi classic.

Wine cork bathmat - Um, looks fairly practical, and easy to make, except the part where I'm slicing several hundred corks in half lengthwise with a pocket knife. I happen to like my fingers attached to my hand, thank you. 

Finally, Lifehacker presents several dozen brand-new, never before conceived-of "hacks" for using up all your soon-to-spoil fresh foods. Here's a mind-blowing example. Ready? Hope you're sitting down for this one.

Not particularly creative or sexy, but I make big pots of soup with any ingredients I fear might go to waste. Cool & freeze in individual or family-sized baggies (I double-bag). Then there's just a thaw, a reheat, and a topping or two between you and a really good meal.

What?! Make? Soup? Yourself? Actual soup? Out of leftovers? I'm blown away.
