In case you hadn't noticed, your geek is a
Twilight freak. As a fan of the books, I was really psyched on the movie, especially since there was more of an emphasis on tech in the film (and um,
Robert Pattinson). And it wasn't just the movie — the stars are equally geeky! Check out my slideshow for all the
Twilight geekiness from the past couple weeks!

I feel like I've been anticipating this news forever — almost as much as Netflix coming to Macs — and I can finally say that the HP Vivienne Tam Special-Edition Notebooks are available to purchase on HP's US website!
I know, you know, I'm a Mac girl, but when I saw this drool-worthy digital clutch on-board the Virgin America Gogo WiFi test flight, I was totally smitten. And with a starting price of only $700, I'm seriously considering saving up for one.

I'm slobbering over these Phone Receiver Salt and Pepper Shakers from Charles and Marie ($22) — which, though they're made of vintage telephone receivers, were never used in their original capacity, so you can be sure no one has already slobbered on your shakers.
They're genius — not to mention achingly cute and a perfect gift for the vintage geek-lover in your life — because you get all the thrill of vintage with none of that ABU (already been used) situation.
Do you ever joke around with friends and say things like "If you pay me $5,000, I'll sail to China and back?" I know I have, at least after a beer or two, and now there's actually a legit site that brings fairytale fantasies to fruition.
Things For Sale That I Will Mail You lists personal assignments for artist David Horvitz to achieve, like asking for $2,443 to go to Iceland to find you three things or offering to go to a small Okinawan island for $1,626 to send you an envelope of star sand (this one is my fave). You can donate as much as you like, and once David receives the full amount, he adds the task to his "view all purchases" page. It not only lists all of the adventurous tasks he's fulfilled, but it includes the name of the person who paid for his trip. A very cool idea indeed.
