Binary Button-Down Has Me Doing the Math For Shipping + Tax

Yesterday I introduced you to the geeky clothing line Rhombus, and because I was so caught up in the presentation of nerd courtship, I didn't get to highlight any of the individual pieces. Something I couldn't resist showing you was something truly geeky, but in such an undercover way that it's not like wearing a message T and bashing people over the head with it: The James dress shirt in binary (it's in Flash, so just navigate to the women's section in the online store).

Other binary apparel can be sort of geek in the unglamorous way, what with t-shirts that make you wear your hobbies on your sleeve, literally. I love a good button-down, and for one in subtle binary code, it's already got me sold. The only thing I'd be worried about is fellow male geeks staring - they've got the perfect excuse: "I'm trying to read your shirt." Sure you are, buddy.

Never say a geek can't be sexy. Lisa and James Clunie started their own clothing line, Rhombus, to have "something for us computer kids who like science and math and bugs." If you're not squealing with nerdy sartorial anticipation yet, then you should be. Building on clothes that look like the wardrobe for the most glamorous librarians, physicists, and web engineers ever, Rhombus hits home even more with the geek chic styling in the following slideshow!

Binary Encoder Ring: Love It or Leave It?

Binary apparel is so hot right now! First it was that awesomely chic clothing line Rhombus, and now there's this Binary Encoder Ring by designer Jonathan Ben-Tovim.

Now if I were going to wear a binary ring, I'd pick this over the metal Binary Wedding Ring - the material is rad looking, and you can of course customize the code, but no price on it kinda scares me. I think they're cool and classy, but I could see others not being as into them. What do you think?
