On Tuesday afternoon, the adorable Rachel McAdams was spotted in the Apple Store in Toronto getting some iPod help at the Genius Bar. This got me thinking. . . If celebs like McAdams and Elle Macpherson can swallow their pride by going into an Apple Store and asking for help, I'm wondering how much everyone else utilizes the Apple Store's staff and services? And when I say services, I'm not just talking about the added bonus of being able to meet men there!
If you are one of those geeks who like to add some pizzazz to your workspace, I've got just the thing for you. These handmade keyboards are skillfully crafted works of art, featuring various designs to suit all tastes. But why oh why do they have to be so ridiculously expensive with a price tag of $156?! Especially when I can pick up a brand new aluminum keyboard from Apple for $49! As CG points out, they would make for amazing gifts for a special occasion, so maybe the price can be justified after all. Check out all the beautiful design options below!
Last week, Heidi and Spencer's separation of gadgets was getting me down, so I now cast my geek-love view on hope and the future: wedding registries! Registries are supposed to be the gifts you and your betrothed choose to start your life together, and you pick what will make your house a home (check out Casa's roundup if you need any help).
In my case, home tech and gadgets figure prominently. My first instinct is that registering for a flat screen TV would be excessive when you consider the price, but considering other things couples register for, maybe it's not so outlandish. Though I've yet to see someone register for a Wii, I say, why not? If you're geeks, then how is it any different than registering for pricey china you may never use? You already saw all my favorite geek items for registries, and though it sounds untraditional, wouldn't a new camera be a perfect way to make memories as a new couple?

I just had one of those classic brain-fart moments when you see something and think it's clever and harmless, and then you actually, you know, think about it, and go, "Oh, come on." And with that I bring you this new Slide to Unlock T-shirt from ThinkGeek.
At first I was like, cool! iPhone T-shirt! And then my brain worked and I realized that it was an invitation your momma wouldn't approve of.
Call me a square, I can take it. Don't think it's sexist? Well, they're not making it in mens' sizes.
Whenever I need an instant weather report, I usually refer to my six-day forecast widget which sits nicely on my dashboard. However, whenever I'm planning a trip and need to check the forecast (do I need an umbrella or sunglasses?), I couldn't be bothered changing the default city for my widget, so I usually head on over to a site called Weather Studio.
Similar to Simple Weather, which is also fabulous, Weather Studio provides an easy-to-read weather report for the city you enter. You can also check out an hourly report as well as the five-day forecast for a given location. And if you really love it, you can download the free Weather Studio toolbar!

I obviously love flatscreen TVs, and one thing I have been dying to do with mine is mount it on the wall. So chic! So out of the way! So intimidating! I'm convinced that even if we do figure out the mounting hardware correctly, it won't hold — one bad thing about a charming old apartment? Plaster walls that don't support anything.
So when I saw this new Benno TV stand by Ikea, with a reinforced back to "mount" the TV — no drilling into soft, old walls necessary — I lost it. $140 and no damage to my walls? Score! I know that some of you will say all Ikea stuff falls apart, but it doesn't — well, if you're an Ikea expert like me, you can spot the duds from the winners. That said, I'd have to see this in person at a store, but right now, I'm all over it. What about you?
