So, in keeping with the theme, I now present you with the Space Invaders Ultimate Magnet Set!
Taken from actual screen shots of the original arcade version of the game, this is a set of 9 awesome Space Invaders button magnets. The buttons are all to scale, and match the game pixel for pixel. I recolored them so they would be more Ultimate.
Everything important is included in this set:
» Small Invader (open & closed) - Blue - 30 points
» Medium Invader (open & closed) - Orange - 20 points
» Large Invader (open & closed) - Purple - 10 points
» Saucer - Red - 50~300 points
» Explosion - White
» Cannon - Green

I recently started creating buttons that appeal to my geekness. My favorite creation so far is my Pac-man Button Set.
I used screen shots from the US Arcade version of the game to create these buttons. This means that they are all accurately colored & to scale (except for the “READY!” button, for size constraints).
Everything important is included in this set:
- Pac-man
- Shadow / “Blinky” / Red Ghost
- Speedy / “Pinky” / Pink Ghost
- Bashful / “Inky” / Blue (Cyan) Ghost
- Pokey / “Clyde” / Orange Ghost
- A Reverse Ghost
- Bonus Cherries
- Pac-dots w/ Power Pellet
- “Ready!”

So I pull up Google Maps today to find a Taco Bell (because the one near me was recently torn down to make way for a BIGGER Taco Bell, but it still not finished), and I am greeted with what looks like a simplified version of the site.
Upon further inspection, it is more featureful, and just visually simplified.
This new Google Maps now contains a Terrain View, can pull in Wikipedia articles for all of the locations on the map, and pulls images from a new Google service called Panoramio.
It is pretty friggin sweet.
Take a look at this screen shot of the terrain map, loaded with Wikipedia articles & photos: http://nexdot.net/gmaps_new_wikipedia_and_photos.jpg
