Pause Perfection: The Comma Pendant Necklace

GeekSugar — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 04:30:17 -0700

Everyone knows how much I enjoy making geeky jewelry discoveries - especially when they are as geek chic as this silver comma pendant necklace. Designed by Chao-Hsien Kuo and manufactured by Chao & Eero Jewel - sadly, I could only track it down on European territory - this comma is a part of a collection entitled "SIGNS." What's neat about this is the fact that the entire collection was inspired by the email and mobile phone messages - how rad is that?! Handmade in Finland, I'll be sure to let everyone know when they are US bound, or when Tiffany decides to make a knock off!

Techie Necklace: Totally Geek or Geek Chic?

I see a lot of geeky necklaces day to day, and the question is always, how geeky is too geeky?

Some, like the LOL Necklace, are a little over the top, while others, like the Comma Pendant, are deliciously chic and not at all too geeky.

So the question for this Techie Necklace from Etsy is the same: Is the declaration of who you are around your neck too much, or just enough?

Geek Tip: iPhone Typing Shortcut

I assumed that when David Pogue was going to address the most annoying thing about the iPhone's keyboard on his Missing Manual site, it would be the the fact that the phone makes it difficult for those of us with less than slender fingers to type, We'll leave that one for another day, but what he does provide is a great iPhone tip and solution for, is how to add punctuation to text simultaneously without having to switch back and forth from the '.?123' key to the 'ABC' key- which I've learned can be a big pain in the yoohaw! Keep reading to learn how to do this. To type on the iPhone with one single gesture: touch the '.?123' key while holding your finger down. Slide your finger onto the period, comma or any other punctuation key and release. The 'ABC' layout will return automatically. Finally- now I can get back into my speed text-messaging mode! Thanks David!
