Before you say anything, you should know this “Once Again in Front of the Mirror” concept PC design from architect Won-Chul Kim was featured at the Samsung and Intel Korea's PC Design Contest 2007 and actually pulled in a couple awards. Meaning, somewhere, out there, there's a whole pack of people that thought making a computer-meets-dressing-table was a really good idea.

"This might be a good idea for 'work-from-home' bloggers who don’t have to get-up and dress themselves like a gentleman for making an impression in the office," says Born Rich. "A look in the mirror will remind them to take a shower in time (just kidding)!" I can testify, that the last thing most people that sit at computers all day want to do is stare at themselves in the mirror and feel like Victorian Barbie. This one gets a low mark on the geek chic meter despite the fact that it combines something geeky and something chic. You can't win 'em all.

Last week I made a comment about some awful gamer tee shirts that seemed to strike a cord with some of you and I realized I should clarify: I recognize the joy of a nice gamer/geek shirt, but it has to have at least a hint of chic to get geeksugar approval. Geek Chic Tee Shirts (Girl Geek Edition)
