Around San Francisco, that mecca of art and technology, Oobject has become a favorite gadgety diversion--and inspiration. It's a tribute to industrial design and arty engineering, with a bit of a history angle.

Check out the site's clean design aesthetic and endless galleries of carefully curated collections, among them: "stunning ray guns," "Soviet satellites," "abandoned technology," and not to be missed, "DIY Frankenstein lab items."
