USB Memory Box: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Years ago, we used to fill albums with photos and pile them high on shelves. Nowadays, we fill up USB memory sticks and keep them scattered around our workspace! TeamSugar user Calamari has just brought this USB Memory Box from dialog05 to my attention, and it's totally tech chic!
Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? iPod Dock Toilet Paper Holder
I asked my boyfriend to put together a Christmas wish list this year so I don't overload him with gadgets per usual. His response to my request, however, was only half serious - or so I suspect. Among his appeals for a new laptop bag, the Blackberry Pearl and a wireless adapter for our TiVo was the iPod Dock Toilet Paper Holder, which is either the greatest invention ever, or too geeky to handle.
Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? The Hug Shirt
Hug Shirt is a wearable Bluetooth accessory for your mobile phone that allows users to exchange the physical sensation of being hugged through telecommunication networks. The shirt contains embedded sensors that feel the strength of the touch, the skin warmth and the heartbeat rate of the sender and actuators that recreate the sensation of touch and warmth.
Created by CuteCircuit, the Hug Shirt made Time Magazine's Top Inventions of All Time list in 2006.

Call Me Panties: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
We've seen our fair share of geeky underwear, but the Call Me Panty seems to be aimed at the woman that already has the OhMiBod and a collection of other "sexy geek" items. I have to agree with Techie Diva and say it's hard not to sound a little appalled when talking about it. The panties ship in a heart shaped box with a mock cellphone in the pocket and tiny gift bow.
Sundance Camera Tee: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
I can't help but love the Sundance Camera Tee ($45). It looks cozy and its design is classic geek chic. Sure it would be a little overkill if you paired it with camera earrings and a camera ring, but alone it's cute and artsy.
WiFi Detector Shirt: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
The WiFi Detector Shirt, $29.99, is a little masculine for my taste, but I'm totally intrigued by its capabilities. The glowing bars on the front of the shirt dynamically change as the surrounding WiFi signal strength fluctuates, so you can just look down on your chest and see if there's a signal. Luckily for those of us that are into being clean, the animated decal is removable (with hook and loop fasteners) for easy washing.
Geek Awareness Bracelet: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
While awareness bracelets are almost always for a good cause they have gotten a little out of hand in the past year or two. What started as a way to promote awareness of serious diseases like cancer, became a bit of a "fashion statement." (I only put that in quotes because I'm not sure Fab would agree they're fashionable in any way.)
On their advertisement page for the Geek Awareness Bracelets, $1.99, Thinkgeek says: "By wearing any of these bracelets, you will show you care by shouting to the world and showing your support for geek awareness in every aspect of life.
Hello Kitty's Geek Chic Tee: You Certainly Are
Normally, the gadgets and tech accessories featuring Hello Kitty are a little sweet for my taste; I don't want anyone mistaking me for an underage girl by the looks of my HK Laptop.
Thankfully, the purveyors of the girly cartoon cat have made something a little more grownup: the Hello Kitty Geek Chic Tee (on sale for $10).
It's obvious why I like the shirt — its message and geeksugar's tagline are one and the same — but I'm finding myself utterly charmed by Kitty wearing her black-rimmed nerd glasses.
Pacman Ghost Tee: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Pacman fans rejoice! Japan LA has these perfect-in-pink Pacman T-shirts on sale for $24 for geeky gamer girls like myself.
I don't know if this falls along the same lines as the Polaroid Tee (which most of you loved), but it's got that retro geek-chic appeal that looks so adorable on a fitted tee.
Ms. Pac-Man Ring: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
If you're a serious geek you understand just how serious vintage video game fans are about their game inspired apparel and jewelry. While I saw a ton of Space Invader items this fall, I think PacMan may be making a comeback.
