Probably old news to some, but not to me so I include it: Make Blog, a collection of wonderful do-it-yourself projects, including case mods, amateur home electronics, mathematical crochet, and cat furniture. Seriously, there's enough in the archives to make you go "huh!" that it's a serious timewaster if you're not careful.

MadeWithMolecules "gifts inspired by science". I originally found the neurotransmitter earrings, but stuck around for the holiday cards - might need to get some of these this year.
On a more serious note, I've kept up to some degree with the thwarted UK terror plot story and am trying to keep it in perspective. In the short run this is probably the safest time to fly because the authorities are at high alert, but in the long run we're probably no more or less safer than we were before - something WILL happen again, and there's no sense hiding from the world in case it does. More cogent thoughts about six lessons learned.
