Emoticon Pillows: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
I seem to have a love/hate relationship with emoticons. On one hand, I have a soft spot for geeky emoticon products like this shower curtain and these emoticon magnets. On the other, I frown on the overuse of emoticons, especially when it comes to dating.
Check Your Head Pillow Cases: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Hooray for more retro-themed goodies! I'm digging the Check Your Head Pillow Cases ($25), featuring a cute screen print of a vintage turntable on one side and a set of headphones on the other.
They're similar to the mixed tape pillowcase I found earlier this year, so now I'm excited to have another geeky set in rotation.
Boardy Paper USB Stick: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Admittedly, I have a ton of USB sticks and funky flash drives hanging around my desk, but I have never seen one made out of paper. Until I found one while surfing online, that is.
But the Boardy USB Stick isn't your usual run-of-the-mill flash drive — it's made out of recycled paper and electronic parts to make an eco-friendly product you can use in any format.
Time T-Shirt: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Rocking a geeky watch is one thing, but this Time T-Shirt ($37) with a fully-functional digital clock ups the ante. The shirt uses electro-luminescence technology — a very weak electric current that passes through the shirt, causing the material to generate light and display the time. Don't worry, it doesn't radiate heat or use hazardous materials.
Calculator Watch: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic ?
This Calculator Watch (on sale for $70!) is a replica of a retro Casio. It comes in three colors — blue, black, and white — and features a calculator, four alarms (one with snooze!), a stopwatch, and a calendar . .
Key Ring WiFi Finder: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
You know I've got my iPhone loaded up with a few WiFi finding apps so that I can hop online wherever and whenever, but what if I'm without my trusty smartphone? Hopefully (knock on wood), that will never happen. But if it does, then this little gadget could come in quite handy in a pinch.
Tengu Lip-Syncing USB Toy: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Although these little guys don't provide any sort of service, assistance, or overall use, they are pretty cute. The Tengu Lip-Syncing Toy ($40) sits on your desk and entertains you while you work by lip-syncing to the sounds around you. Even if you aren't blasting your iTunes, he'll still mime the sounds of your co-workers laughing, or the TV that's playing in the background of your home office — check out a demo on Tengu's website.
Polaris Personal Assistant: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
If I could afford one, I'd probably jump at the chance to have a personal assistant to keep me on track. As much as I love organization, I sometimes don't have time to follow my own advice. Go figure.
QlockTwo Clock: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Forget old, traditional clocks with those lame arms — the QlockTwo (around $1,200) timepiece is breaking all the rules over here. Set in a wooden box with a custom color glass face, this clock uses little lightup words to tell you the time in five-minute increments. Not only does it give you an update every five, but for all you traditionalists who need a more accurate quote, you can check the little (more familiar) clock in the bottom corner.
Find a Face Area Rug: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Why do I like this Find a Face ($180) rug? Cause it reminds me of those fancy found object robots from Gordon Bennett I showed you last year. Yes, I'm still thinking about them.
