You'll probably have blinders for turkey, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie today but this woman wearing the Toshiba Head Dome seems to be using the bulky device to keep her mind on work. No, it's not the latest iteration of the Privacy Scarf, it's actually a headset that enables the wearer to experience a 360-degree view on a 40 centimeter dome-shaped screen. I'm crossing my fingers this thing never takes off because I think it's completely crazy.

Every once in a while an item comes along that doesn't quite fit in the totally geeky or geek chic category. In fact, I can't think of anything chic about these "wireless" headphones from Arriva. The device isn't on the market yet, but it was designed to dock your shuffle in the center of the back of your head.

I couldn't resist posting these when I saw a feature on TechEBlog which displayed some outrageously geeky shoes. The first pair of sneakers come with a wireless music system which includes an MP3 player. You can store up to 100 songs and transfer them via the USB which is, get this, on the side of the shoe!

Like the Privacy Scarf, which was deemed completely crazy by a landslide, the TV-Helmet (Portable living room), which was created in 1967 is a real doozy.
The piece is part of a "Prototypes" series of sculptures made by Walter Pichler in the 1960s.
While it's an art piece, I can't get over the combination of offbeat humor, satire and unconventional geekery.

Ever wonder if someone is peering over your shoulder - trying to read your online chats or see what's playing on your iPod? The privacy scarf might be the utmost extreme of what you could do to ward off peeping Toms, but you gotta admit, it is quite the contraption! Just my two cents, but if you don't want people glancing at you, I wouldn't suggest wearing this scarf which screams "hey everybody, look at me, I'm doing something I really shouldn't be!"

ThinkGeek has long been a go-to destination for geek shoppers online, so when I was introduced to one of their Merchandising Assistants and she immediately divulged she is a geeksugar fan, I realized we were a match made in heaven.
Andrea Owens, who describes herself as "laid back, high strung, random, a little bit crazy, fun, and a little bit of an organizing control freak," had always been a fan of Thinkgeek and had joked it would be so awesome to work there. After moving to Virginia, she checked the website to look at a gift for her husband noticed they were hiring.

Her past as Dark Angel and current role as Sue Storm from the Fantastic Four movie and video game makes Jessica Alba a TV, movie and video game star. Of course the recent return to her role as Sue Storm for Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, meant more body scans and geeky gaming meetings for the movie's video game. Word is Jessica worked closely with Activision, the creators of the game, to make it more realistic and hopes to become even more involved with the gaming industry.
