my geeky valentine

This entire week has been about love, crushes and of course, geeks. We featured stories on two of our favorite crushable geeks Jason Chen and Om Malik, showcased great Valentine's Day gifts for guys and gals, and even told you about My Super Proposal, an effort that gives all new meaning to "geek love." Our fellow geeks have also been busy whipping up Valentine's Day gift guides, so I've compiled a list of my favorite lists from my favorite sites.

• Top Five Valentine's Day Presents For You Lucky Loved-Up Sods - Shiny Shiny
• Saucy Valentine's Day Gift Guide - Gadget Candy
• Last minute Valentine's Day Gift Guide - PC Magazine
• In the mood to splurge? Love at Vegas $100,000 package - Luxist

This Valentine's Day, you and your man can have his and her sonic alarm clocks which will shake you both out of bed. Geeksugar already featured the Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock for him and now she can have her own version of the bed shaking clock. How cute, a pink heart-shaped design with colorful rainbow number display! This clock has the same features as the Sonic Bomb - buzz, buzz/bed shake, and only bed shake alarm settings, plus alarm tone control and a snooze button! Click Sonic Boom Love Clock to purchase from Think Geek for $40.

Thanks to amyfinke, who submitted these adorable heart-shaped mini digital photo frames to the My Geeky Valentine Group! Each frame holds about 56 images and costs around $50. They can also be used as a keychain or pendant so your sweetheart can show you off to all of his friends. That's what I call a great Valentine's Day gift idea!

These are hilarious! Forget cheesy red hearts with poorly glued paper doilies, now you can send your Valentine a YouTube Dump Cupid Video Card! You can either choose one of these funny vids from their gallery, or create your own with a personalized lovey dovey message and upload it to YouTube.

A few days ago I asked you guys to help me find great Valentine's Day gifts for my geeky valentine, and while Brian's pick may be a little more extravagant than you are ready for, there is no reason a geeky girl or guy can't dream.

For those of you that missed it, last week the makers of Mini Coopers launched a new ad campaign with special billboards displaying personalized messages for mini drivers as they go by. How does it work? Mini Cooper drivers in trial cities filled out questionnaires with information like birth dates and special interests - for example "I love my girlfriend," "I need to work out after work" and "I love my boyfriend." The drivers were then given a chip with Radio Frequency Identification technology inside and the magic of technology takes over. Can you imagine getting your significant other a new Mini Cooper and then sending over a cute love-y dovey message? Too cute! What are you getting for your geeky Valentine?

Shows like Beauty and the Geek give male geeks a bad rep. I have news for you folks, not all geeks think pocket-protectors and worn corduroy pants are trendy. In fact, I know plenty of fellas that showcase the very best of geekiness: smarts, passion, chic clothing, success in their field and the ability to program your TiVo, computer or Blackberry when you’re not in the mood. In an effort to celebrate this month of love, I have put together a series of interviews with some of the most interesting geeky guys out there to prove that geeks are just as lovable as A-list actors.

When it comes to guy gadget sites, Gizmodo.com has earned a reputation as a go-to source for all things geeky - combining breaking news, gadget reviews and a saucy grown-up nerd attitude you can’t help but love. The site’s cool content and buzz is created by a team of geeks that are dedicated to keeping the rest of the world updated on the inner-workings of the gizmo world around the clock and not afraid to admit how many hours they spend playing Xbox or cruising the internet. Among these fearless techie leaders is Jason "JC" Chen, a technology writer/associate editor for the site, who is known to make a "Wii in my pants" joke now and again. While Jason is happily attached, he agreed to share some of his secrets with us. To find out what makes Jason such an alluring geek, read more

Shows like Beauty and the Geek give male geeks a bad rep. I have news for you folks, not all geeks think pocket-protectors and worn corduroy pants are trendy.
