Getting your pad decked out for the holidays? Might I suggest a festive Star Wars theme this year with the help of a R2-D2 light set ($24). Coming with 10 indoor/outdoor lights, this string would be the perfect addition to an intergalactic tree, a decorated mantel, or window display. Tis the season to be jolly, and show off your geeky style too. Read more
Hey iPhone owners: remember how frustrating it was when Motorola introduced that R2-D2-themed Droid last year? You knew you weren't going to drop your iPhone in exchange for an Android device, but boy, that thing was pretty sweet. Well, your patience (and loyalty) has paid off with this R2-D2 iPhone 4/4S Skin ($10) from Etsy seller Killer Duck Decals. Fitting the front, rear, and sides of your Read more
I'm a big-time Twitter fan, but I'm on the fence on whether or not I'd rock these Twitter shoes from Brass Monki (around $400). Coming with the classic colors and Twitter bird, these sneaks seem to be made for men but can satisfy the geekiest cravings for the ladies; just size down for smaller feet. Biggest problem — what would I wear with them? I guess I'd have to recruit FabSugar for some Read more
We've been talking a lot about when Android 2.2 will be hitting our favorite Droid handsets but haven't really mentioned the rumors and leaks of the Droid 2 . . . until now, that is. And you'll understand why when you hear this bit of news from the rumor mill: the Droid 2 is supposedly launching on Aug. 12 but will be widely available on Aug. 23 and is said to be coming stocked with a 5MP Read more
It's all about wearing this R2-D2 Backpack ($65) with a completely straight face as you make your way to your destination. I would personally pair it with a grown-up trench coat just to make passersbys' heads explode just a little more. Oh to be queen of irony! I don't care how old you are, a Star Wars fan is a Star Wars fan and I can't hate the idea of this backpack, but would I wear it? Not Read more

Wow wa wee wha did I get quite the surprise when I tuned into Dancing With The Stars last night. Who knew that former N'Sync boy band member Joey Fatone was such a Star Wars fan?! Joey and his dance partner Kym Johnson surprised everyone with a tango dance routine to the tune of the Star Wars theme. They even had a little lightsabers fun during rehearsals and brought in R2-D2 for a guest Read more
After hearing the United States Postal Service has decided to pay homage to the 30th Anniversary of the Star Wars series by covering select mailboxes with R2-D2 shells I went on a hunt in San Francisco in search of pimped out mailboxes. I searched and I searched, but it was all in vain. Luckily, msugar and her friend Anika spotted the kitschy mailboxes near their office in Oregon. Apparently, Read more
I can't imagine a more flattering compliment for the ultimate geek franchise than being commemorated on a mailbox. Oh wait, geeks don't send snail mail. Regardless, 2007 is the 30th anniversary of the Star Wars release and the United States Postal Service has decided to pay homage to the series by covering select mailboxes with R2-D2 shells. Word is the robot post boxes will coincide with a new Read more
