Mark Your Territory With Marquee Alphabet Lights
I really do love the vintage alphabet blocks I found last year, which would go perfectly in a little geek-in-training nursery. But since I'm not planning to add to my family anytime soon, I wanted to find a more grown-up, flashier alternative for my apartment. So when I stumbled upon these letters, I realized the missing component was — lights!
Race You to the Checkout! Vintage Alphabet Geek Blocks
It's a show of selflessness that I'm posting these vintage Geek Alphabet Blocks from Three Potato Four (the purveyors of those gorgeous vintage typewriters we drooled over together) because I'm dying for them.
They're just four vintage blocks put together, but they're spelling out a word near and dear to my heart.
They'd rep hard in my house and match their surroundings — the antique, weathered blocks don't look like the child's toy they once were, so no kids are required to own these, buuuut .
Ikea Customers Outraged About Font Change

Website of the Day: Fontifier
I know there is a small but devoted group of font lovers on geek (you know who you are), and if you're not a font-lover yet, then I may have the website to turn you into one! I've featured places to find fonts before, but have you ever wanted something really custom, something really you?! How about literally you?
Geek Tip: Drag and Drop in Google Reader
Sometimes the best geek tips aren't something huge and revolutionary — sometimes they're "duh" things that you either forget you can do, or they're so simple you feel like you should have known but just never learned for some reason.
My "duh" geek tip is being able to use drag and drop in Google Reader to organize your feeds. I've been using the "Manage My Subscription" button ever since I've been a Reader user, and manually going to arrange and organize my feeds.
