Here is a pretty nifty gift for your inner comic book geek or you’re just a crime fighting Superhero looking to concel your secret identity, the SECRET IDENTITY EYEGLASS KIT ($40 US) is perfect for you.

Are you a Superhero seeking inconspicuous movement in the civilian world? The Secret Identity Eyeglass Kit is an ideal aid, lends ‘poor vision’ authenticity while providing legitimate fashion cred to any outfit.

Each kit contains a pair of custom eyeglasses and a hard shell case with SECRET IDENTITY debossed onto the exterior and STRIVE TO BE BORING printed on the interior. Nothing says alter ego like a good pair of eyeglasses. (why hello Clark, I didn’t see you standing there)

All proceeds benefit the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Company.

Lumix (Panasonic) recently announced the new Lumix LX5. I owned a LX3 for a couple of years now and I’m a big fan of that camera. It shoots amazing at low light and it’s one camera I won’t be replacing anytime soon. But, if you’re in a market for a new semi-pro pocket shooter, its worth your while to take the new cam for a spin. It’s a prefect camera for photo enthusisasts that captures pro quality images and the new model captures 720p high-definition vids.

The 10-megapixel Lumix LX5 nearly doubles the optical zoom range (3.8x, from 24mm to 91mm) of the LX3, and Panasonic’s lightning-fast autofocus system has been added to the mix. It’s the first camera in the LX series to offer the Sonic Speed AF focus system.

It should be dropping later this Fall.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York City had an exhibit of early artwork and the the exhibition charts the filmmaker’s growth from his childhood in Burbank, Calif., to his current position as one of America’s great artistic voices through artwork, personal papers and ephemera. Then it will travel to Melbourne and finally to the newly minted Bell Lightbox in Toronto, from Nov. 22, 2010, to April 27, 2011.

You can check out the MoMA online interactive show.

Oh come on, do we really need this? A Darth Vader kitchen / BBQ Apron. It looks terrible, but the Princess Leia Bikini is passable if your special lady is wearing it and cooking for you. But totally not cool, if your mom or 350 lbs. buddy wearing it and cooking some weiners for you. Both are available for $25 (US) plus shipping.

In anticipation of the new Tron movie (Tron: Legacy) coming out this winter, Adidas will be releasing a couple of Tron related high tops.

‘The Adidas TRON mens collection will include apparel available in December 2010. Product features will include glow in the dark stitch detailing and reflective TRON disk screenprints to echo the lighting, color schemes and self-illuminated costumes featured in the film.’

I really wished Adidas went with a LED lighting instead of just ol’-glow-in-the-dark. I will be so getting this geekefied sneakers.
