Kristen Hawley — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 05:21:24 PDT

Modcloth, purveyors of a wealth of vintage-inspired wares (second only to my love of Urban Outfitters), has two new options for professing your camera love: the Stick With It Magnet Set ($10) and the Sweet Snapshots Air Freshener ($6).

Both feature sweet yellow, vintage, plastic cameras, awesome for their kitsch factor and adorably affordable (the air freshener comes in pink, too!). And both are fun ways to declare your vintage geek.

Battlestar Galactica may be off the air, but its legacy - and fandom - live on. Fans are making tribute videos, kokeshi dolls, and now, magnets! I spied this set of Battlestar Galactica magnets ($17) on Etsy recently, and I immediately thought that I must have them - until I realized they may be too Geeky, even for me.

The magnet set is pretty inexpensive and might make the perfect gift for the super BSG fan in your life. Imagine all the conversations that will start around the fridge! What do you think?

I know I've mentioned my avoid-unless-necessary feelings on emoticons several times, not to mention calling a guy out over his emoticon use (to which most of you responded my friend should chill out).

You loved this emoticon shower curtain; do you feel the same way about these emoticon magnets ($15)? They're 2.5 inches in diameter, so they'll definitely make a statement on the fridge. What do you think?

What's the Deal With: Health and Magnets

FitSugar — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:00:56 PDT

Many of you said that when it comes to exercising, you don't like to wear jewelry. Dangly earrings can be annoying, yes, but the bracelet below looks sporty and comfortable.
Not your style? Don't worry, it's not for looks. Many athletes are wearing this type of magnetic bracelet or necklace strictly for the health benefits. Wearing magnets are said to relieve pain, remove tension from muscles, improve circulation, and combat fatigue. How? Electricity is constantly flowing throughout the body, and our cells emit positive and negative charges. If something disturbs the charges, an imbalance is created. Magnets are believed to regulate and balance the flow of energy throughout your body, which helps you relax when you're stressed and speed up recovery when you're hurt.

What's Going on Here? A Lesson in Magnetics

GeekSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 13:00:21 PDT

So the other day PetSugar was explaining to me how she lost the top to her earbud and was peeved because she couldn't listen to her tunes at work, when suddenly something happened - her earbuds picked up a paper clip from her desk! Was it due to Mercury being in retrograde? Was it because our office is haunted and the ghost was messing with us and our electronics? Or was there some other reasonable explanation?

I dove into the subject, and it didn't take me long to find the answer. To see what it is, just

Magnets help the wire coil inside all headphones stay balanced and produce sound waves, which in turn, gives you your music! So I guess the next logical question would be, "Is this harming my brain?" From what I can tell, no. In fact, magnets have been used for centuries to help relieve pain, circulatory problems, and even baldness. So next time you find your earbuds picking up a paper clip from your desk, you'll know why!
