Power Rings: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

Love was in the air for many couples last Sunday to capitalize on the 10/10/10 symmetry and symbolism, and hopefully some of the 32,000 US couples who wed that day incorporated a bit of geek into their big event.

Love was in the air for many couples last Sunday to capitalize on the 10/10/10 symmetry and symbolism, and hopefully some of the 32,000 US couples who wed that day incorporated a bit of geek into their big event. Like these power rings ($40 each), whose design is simple and straight to the point. Cast in sterling silver with a bold power symbol, these rings will show off your power couple status. Or just wear one on those days you need an extra oomph. Whether representing the power of love or the power of yourself, would you sport one?

Binary Wedding Bands - I Do or I Don't?

Over and over I tell the world: geeks are just like you and me.

Over and over I tell the world: geeks are just like you and me. And then I run across something like the Binary Wedding Band, which is hand carved by artist Gideon Weisz, and I wonder. I like to say that I'd probably adore any ring my fiancé slipped onto my finger, but having recently enlisted my sister to be his stylist when that day comes, I'll freely admit my ring snob tendencies run a little high.

Says the seller's website: Computers, like our love, are built upon very simple foundations. In the case of computers, that foundation is binary code. These sophisticated, yet simple rings ($950) bear your personalized message in that computer code.

Being that this is a band, I am going to assume this is predominantly aimed at the kind of guy that proposed to his girlfriend with a Mac widget, in which case, congrats!
