The geeky wall decals I've seen in the past have been cute, but the subjects (Space Invaders and Super Mario Bros.) seemed more appropriate for application in a kid's room. Here, though, are some wall decals that feature a modern symbol of technology — the power pole — which come off looking starkly chic. From Ferm Living, these Power Pole Wall Decals (click through to the wall stickers Read more

It's kind of hard to surprise me with a USB Drive these days; I feel like I've seen every novelty, and if I haven't yet, I think whatever the new drive (food USBs come to mind), it can be explained as the logical conclusion to a long line of goofy thumb drives. I didn't know quite what to say, though, when I saw the Beer USB Drive. It's not actually beer floating in there (I don't think), and to Read more

I don't know about you, but the insult "go fly a kite" never sounded all that insulting. Kiteflying is delightful! If anyone actually said that to me, I'd be all, "OK." And then I'd go grab my awesome Darth Vader kite and make everyone, ages four to 40, totally jealous of me in the park. I mean, if you're flying a kite, what does it matter if it's generally marketed toward kids? Darth Vader is Read more

With the new Weezer album cover getting some flack for being a little weird, I have to say that when it comes to their tunes, I'm still a fan. "Pork and Beans" is not only the standout track from their new record, it's also the one song that holds true to their signature sound. And since their album is hitting shelves on June 3, it's only fitting that these guys release a new (and ubergeeky) Read more

Oh man, it doesn't get much dirtier than this. For all the geeks in your life that constantly have their minds in the gutter, you know, the ones who like things like this. . . well they can now have their hands up a skirt all day long with this skirt mousepad cover by Rinkya — yes, harmless to some, while completely disturbing to others. For only $8, you can keep your mouse and mousepad Read more

Aw, this makes me think of puppies needing to sleep with an alarm clock nearby so it reminds them of their mother's beating heart. Nearly as cute as that image is the My Beating Heart pillow, a plush, cuddly pillow with a heartbeat inside. They say it's not just a sound or a pre-recorded rhythm, apparently, the little computer inside syncs to your heartbeat when you turn it on and relaxes you. Read more

I love Gameboy. I love shoes. But I'm not so sure I like them together. Funny thing about this footwear from syberpunk is that the retro Gameboys are still playable! So, if you're bored waiting for the bus (which, I only assume you would be riding, vs. walking anywhere in these), the Gameboy shoe is perfect since you just swing your foot over your knee, pop out your Gameboy, and have some Read more

As attached as I am to my laptop, when I imagine myself lying in the sun poolside, I can't seem to envision myself glued to it. Nonetheless, the good folks at LapDome made sure that those of you who suffer with GSA (Gadget Separation Anxiety) are good to go, even when you're on vacay. Spotted at MacWorld, the LapDome acts as the ultimate bodyguard for your laptop: This laptop computer carry case Read more

Isn't it freakish enough to have a wedding cake covered with strawberries and a Christmas wreath? Add in four USB ports and you've got yourself a classy USB Christmas Cake. In total, this interesting masterpiece offers 1GB of memory and you guessed — it is only available in Japan. How perfect would this cake be for a regift party, or a gag gift for a boss or coworker? Featured on New Launches, Read more

Now this is an interesting concept which I spotted on GeekAlerts. Wear a retro phone handset around your neck and use it as a your bluetooth handheld for your cell phone. Yes with the $70 bluetooth mini phone lanyard you can answer calls from your cell via the tiny one by pressing the call button. I'm gonna vote freakish on this one and suggest a possible douchebag vote as well. What are your Read more
