1. This has been around awhile apparently, but I haven't seen it until now. It's a way to see how diverse your musical tastes are. You need a last.fm account, and you need to have listened to at least 20 different artists. Then it tells you on a scale of 5-100 how wide ranging your listening habits have been.
Take your top 20 artists. For each of these artists, collect the top 5 similar artists. The resulting number of unique artists is your eclectic score. If the score is small (extreme = 5) your musical preferences are very limited, and if it is large (larger than 80, extreme = 100), then you have an eclectic musical preference. You can compute your own score at http://anthony.liekens.net/pub/scripts/last.fm/eclectic.php
The 90 related artists for my profile are Band of Horses, Beck, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Bonde do Role, Cake, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (4), Common, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cut Copy, DJ Topcat, Das Pop, Defiance, Ohio, Diplo, Disco Dan, Divide & Kreate, Fake Problems, Franz Ferdinand, George Harrison, Hi-Tek, Hot Water Music, Ill Mitch, Jack White, John Lennon, KMFDM, Kaiser Chiefs, Kanye West, Keith

2. Casey & His Brother foldable toys! Free!!!
I got a myspace bulletin from Tim & Eric telling me of these, and they are some of the snazziest promotional items ever. I recommend making your own. You can check them out at their store.
If you're too lazy to check out their store, here they are. Because I have nothing better to do than copy and paste. But seriously, you should buy something from them in their store and contribute to the T&E empire.

I didn't think of that last line, that was totally them. But you can pretend I was that clever.
