Giving you a new sound to associate with each day of the year, Ingrana’s Modular Synth Days Calendar is a great way to understand synesthesia or cross-sense experiences. The modular synth comes with multiple modules, 24 keys, and two 3/4″ cables. The modules correspond to a day, date, month, and year going all the way till 31st December 2034, and each module sports a series of 3/4″ inlets you can plug your cables into. Modeled on a Moog synth, the Modular Synth Days calendar takes a funky approach to reading the date, as you plug in and out cables to connect modules to each other that in turn alter the synth’s sound, giving you a new sound each day. Hang it on the wall, display it on your desktop, and jam away till the year 2034! Or better still, hook it to your doorbell so you’ve got a new sounding riff every time someone shows up at your door!

Is it just me, or every time you see anything with Mario jumping up to smack a box with a coin inside, do you hear the “ding” sound the video game makes inside your head? That sound will surely be stuck in your head all the time with this official Mario desktop calendar.
The calendar has little cubes with numbers, days of the week, and months on them. You just drop the cubes in and put them on the correct date. Since it has no year on it, you can keep using it in perpetuity.
It’s a much cooler design than other desk calendars, but the downside is I would forget to change the date and end up leaving it on the same day for most of the month. Still, it’s a pretty sweet addition to any collection of geeky desk toys. Grab one at ThinkGeek now for $24.99.
Kelli Anderson’s books are proof that there’s a tonne of things you can do with paper and imagination. After the wild success of This Book Is A Camera, a book that literally turned into a functional pinhole camera, Brooklyn-based artist/designer and tinkerer Kelli Anderson’s next book explores the mysteries of the physical world with more paper-based experiments. This Book Is A Planetarium features a pop-up planetarium that you can activate with your phone’s flashlight, a spiralgraph that teaches children the infinite wonders of geometric art, a stringed instrument that lets you understand how acoustic chambers work and how strings make sound, a passive amplifier that uses a cone to magnify the sound from your phone, and a perpetual calendar that allows you to view the Gregorian calendar of any given year!
A wonderful gift for children (even the ones at heart) with an inclination towards curiosity, This Book Is A Planetarium allows kids to unlock small mysteries of the universe, and prompts them to question phenomena around them, helping them expand their knowledge base and eventually their wings!
