USB Memory Box: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 13:40:00 PST

Years ago, we used to fill albums with photos and pile them high on shelves. Nowadays, we fill up USB memory sticks and keep them scattered around our workspace! TeamSugar user Calamari has just brought this USB Memory Box from dialog05 to my attention, and it's totally tech chic! Featured on Swissmiss, this USB memory box helps keeps all of your flash drives filled with pics from various events in one handy spot. Label with actual names, events, holidays, and parties for quick reference later.

Box or not, I still think they'd get lost. I'd rather have everything on one memory stick with a massive storage capacity or upload them online. And I always print out the ones that I really like and put them in a book anyways . . . I guess you could call it mixing the old with the new. What do you think about this memory box: geek or chic?

Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? iPod Dock Toilet Paper Holder

GeekSugar — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 00:05:23 PST

I asked my boyfriend to put together a Christmas wish list this year so I don't overload him with gadgets per usual. His response to my request, however, was only half serious - or so I suspect. Among his appeals for a new laptop bag, the Blackberry Pearl and a wireless adapter for our TiVo was the iPod Dock Toilet Paper Holder, which is either the greatest invention ever, or too geeky to handle.

So, which one is it?

Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? The Hug Shirt

GeekSugar — Sat, 16 Dec 2006 10:06:38 PST

Hug Shirt is a wearable Bluetooth accessory for your mobile phone that allows users to exchange the physical sensation of being hugged through telecommunication networks. The shirt contains embedded sensors that feel the strength of the touch, the skin warmth and the heartbeat rate of the sender and actuators that recreate the sensation of touch and warmth.

Created by CuteCircuit, the Hug Shirt made Time Magazine's Top Inventions of All Time list in 2006. The question is, is it chic?

We have brainy icons like Woody Allen and more recently Tina Fey to thank for popularizing geeky specs; now they're showing up everywhere - in Madewell's lookbooks, on bloggers and celebs, and here at Sugar HQ, our Fab editorial assistant's been sporting them all week, sans prescription. Case in point, you don't need a doctor's note - and neither do these celebs. Vision may be 20/20, but these specs are all about the style statement - just click through to see the celebrities sporting them and decide who's better off with and without the specs.

If you're obsessed with photography, you'll probably dig these handmade Vintage Camera Pillows ($45) from Etsy seller Intheseam. Each camera comes in at about 16 inches wide and would definitely make a statement in your hipster-chic abode. But what do you think - too geeky, or geek chic?

Pacman Ghost Tee: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:00:41 PDT

Pacman fans rejoice! Japan LA has these perfect-in-pink Pacman T-shirts on sale for $24 for geeky gamer girls like myself.

I don't know if this falls along the same lines as the Polaroid Tee (which most of you loved), but it's got that retro geek-chic appeal that looks so adorable on a fitted tee.

What do you think? Too over-the-top geeky for your liking? Or so geek chic that it's worth paying the $24 for?

Here are some of Hollywood's most talented and colorful women, from all walks in life, getting in touch with their inner librarians!
