Keychain Plants:
SorobanGeeks has pictures of what they say is the latest fad in Japan: keychain plants. Each one sells for around $10 and features real, live plants that grow in a tiny arboretum until they become too large to be contained, after which they can be transplanted to a larger pot. I wanted to find a reason this was a bad idea, but I really can’t—the more greenery the better.

Self-Destruct Button DX:
The Self-Destruct Button DX is a handy bit of kit to have around, especially if you access your living space through any manner of airlock. Noted as the “luxurious edition” on the product page (only the best for your last milliseconds in corporeal form), it’s made perfectly clear that ” Installing in the reception table, and on et cetera the foot warmer please enjoy. As for function this way as a switch completely being not to be, please note.” Noted.
