I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “good things come to those who wait.” Yeah, it’s a cliche – but this watch is making it literal. The design from Mr. Jones Watches has a hidden message on the face that only reveals itself as the letters slide into place once an hour.
If you’re too impatient for that design, the company has also released a watch inspired by a phlox flower. It forms the flower at certain times during the day, but the rest of the time it looks like a beautiful kaleidoscope image. Floriography – “the Victorian system for ascribing a specific meaning to different flowers” - influenced this watch so it also has an engraving on the back.
Both watches are limited to 100 pieces.
Check out the floral watch after the break.

Earlier today we shared some of the new images from Star Trek Into Darkness found in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly. Little did we know that wasn’t where the story ended. Comic Book Movie has picked up on some interesting phrasing on EW’s back issue page that may just spoil the true identity of Benedict Cumberbatch‘s villain.
Here I issue the requisite SPOILER WARNING!
I’ll also preface this with saying, it’s a headline, not even a headline, but the name for a particular cover you can purchase of the latest EW issue. This could all boil down to some poor sod who simply typed a misleading though eye-catching tagline with no thought to its monumental consequences. Or, it’s completely true and EW has inadvertently confirmed Cumberbatch is indeed playing Khan.
(click the image to be taken to its page of origin)
I mean, why would it say that if he wasn’t playing Khan? Notice it doesn’t say Kirk & Harrison. Y’know, John Harrison, the alias he’s been masquerading under and has been used in just about all promotional material for the film. There’s absolutely no reason for it to say Khan unless he is Khan. KHAAAAAAAN!
Oh man, at this point we’ve heard so many rumors about Cumberbatch’s villains true identity wouldn’t it figure he was Khan all along. And that we’d find out in such an anti-climactic manner as an order page for a magazine. As of now, it’s still complete and utter rumor, and if it turns out to be false the guy or gal who typed that tagline better be packing their things now. But I mean, wow, the movie’s about three months out and we’re back to “Cumberbatch is Khan.”
What do you bastards think? Has EW spilled the beans and we really will see Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness?
Things must be tough for British TV shows if you’re not Doctor Who or Downton Abbey. Being Human, as best as I could judge, was a popular series both across the pond and here in the States, which is saying something since we went ahead and made our own America version. Like we do. But today it was announced by BBC Three this season, its fifth, would be its last.
Though apparently, fans should see this as good news rather than bad. Series creator, Toby Whithouse blogged about the end of Being Human, putting an optimistic spin on the events,
We must remember too that the remit of BBC Three is to encourage and support new talent, to give them opportunities to make television, to test out new ideas and formats. In that sense Being Human is perhaps a victim of its own success. We can't really call ourselves a new show anymore, and much as I'd like to think of myself as a young thrusting new talent and not a bitter old war horse, the reality is we have a duty to move aside and make space for the next Being Human. But much like the cast change from seasons 3 to 4, we viewed the news as an opportunity. It meant I could actually write a climax for the show, instead of it just popping out to the shops at the end of season 5 and never coming back. You've no idea how rare that is in television, and what a great opportunity it is to write something suitably definitive and satisfactory. Consequently we've created what I hope you'll agree is an epic, thrilling and shocking finale that'll keep the fans guessing and speculating for years to come.
I like to think fans will find comfort in this. Just think of all the American shows allowed to hang on too long, wallowing in their lack of originality. Chances are we’ll see that happen the U.S. version of Being Human, so don’t worry, in a way there’ll be more.
Are you sad to see Being Human go? Were you a bigger fan of the U.K. or U.S. version? And hey, with the series coming to a proper end I’ve got another show to add to my list of binge-watching.

What are we going to do with all those yellow stickers?
Do you like being able to re-sell products you’ve legally purchased? Yeah, me too, but it’s time to say goodbye to that basic consumer right.
It’s been rumored for quite some time that Sony’s next console will block used games, and now reports are surfacing that Microsoft’s next Xbox will also require an always-on internet connection and won’t allow used games. Hardly shocking news, but still, it’s sad to hear. Hope that Microsoft might try to score an edge by being more consumer friendly than Sony is pretty much gone.
Suddenly Nintendo always being a step behind on Internet stuff is actually, in a weird way, making them more appealing. What about you folks? What percentage of your games do you buy new? Are you interested in buying a console where $60 new games are your only option?

This beautiful Super Mario Brothers tote has an all-over mushroom design that’s been digitally printed onto the fabric. The print gets smaller toward the top of the bag to make it look like the mushrooms are marching at you. It’s a cotton/linen blend with gunmetal studs on the bottom, 22″ faux leather straps and a magnetic snap closure. Measurements are 17 1/2″ x 11 1/4″ x 5″ and it also has a small inner pocket. These are made to order so expect to wait about 2-3 weeks for your mushroom tote to arrive.
