Every day here at Doom HQ we receive tons of tips from our readers about really cool stuff from the world of geek, as well as promotional materials for new films, comic books, collectibles, and much more. While we do our best to bring you as much of it as possible, we don’t always have enough geek manpower available to cover it all on a daily basis. But we hate the idea of all of this really cool stuff wasting away in our inbox. How could we NOT cover it? Hence why we’ve resurrected our long-defunct column Bits Of Doom, now rebranded and revamped as Doom Digest, a collection of easily digestible bits of news, videos, photos, and other goodies.

Today: A Star Trek engagement ring, Bill Murray‘s hologram, Star Wars as told by Dr. Seuss, house sigils for TV families, metal Game Of Thrones song, and a bird who chirps like R2-D2, plus Bits Of Doom.

Star Trek Engagement Ring

The VaLa Jewellery Etsy shop has a ring that’s totally awesome! It’s a Star Trek insignia engagement ring with a white sapphire. It can be made in sterling silver, white gold, or yellow gold. Love it!!!
