Gotta love it when you're waiting for a picture to upload on a site and then all of a sudden you get that annoying blank white box with the tiny box of doom — the broken link box. Now you can display your love (or hate) for this box by wearing a broken link necklace by i love blocks. This piece of geek jewelry costs $25 and comes with a 17" leather cord plus a sterling silver clasp. And if you're ordering it for a gift, the necklace is said to come in a sexy gift box. What are your thoughts? Way too techie or kinda geek chic?

I think it's kinda cute, but I could never buy it, given that they stole it from Queen of Wands: http://www.warehouse23.com/search.cgi?gtype=t-shirts&pline=Queen+of+Wand...

It's sort of weird. I think it's cool for single women, but I wouldn't buy it for my lady.

I can see the idea, but it didn't play out well as a necklace. Maybe a shirt with a quote or something?

I love me some geek gear, but I hate that damn box. No way could I wear it.

It definitely wins "Geek Chic" points but I'm not sure if I'd be bold enough to wear it.

I get annoyed enough seeing that come up on the screen. I wouldn't want to wear it on my neck.

I am with gooniette, who wants to be reminded of something so infuriating?!
And with dcroan and kristenhomesick: it is totally single-looking!! So I guess it could serve as a means of shy nerd girls letting shy nerd boys know they are available...in which case it could actually serve a purpose! +
