One iRing to Rule Them All?
The iPod has singlehandedly created an onslaught of additional gadgets into our market. While the vast majority of them have been equally or lesser stylish than the white brick, some ideas are simply intriguing…especially conceptual ones like Victor Soto’s iRing.
It’s a Bluetooth device that controls the playback functions of whatever iPod or IPhone it’s [...]
Kanye/Pharell Tapping Videogame Culture
If you were looking for a surefire way to kickoff your weekend, how about firing up this brand-spanking new Kanye West/N.E.R.D. video above, all set to the backdrop of an ’80s videogame montage? Space Invaders plays a predominant role as well as a crazy version of Galaga from time-to-time, all with Kanye, Pharell and (our [...]
Geek Shirts by Snorg Tees
In all honesty it’s almost impossible to be a geek without having a plethora of ridiculous tshirts. I happen to own a few..hundred.. myself but I still can’t resist a good pun, or some twisted representation of a videogame/pop culture reference.
These are a few of Snorg Tees’ lineup of t-shirts, sure to satisfy geeks [...]
Gratuitous (and Sexy) Geek Ink
So we’ve got this friend Jeff in NYC and he’s got the Triforce (yes, that Triforce) permanently emblazoned on his upper shoulder. “Sweet!”, we said. Then he got a Boba Fett symbol on his other shoulder. “Sure! Alright!”, we exclaimed. And then we saw this. “Dude, she wins.”, was all we could muster. And so [...]
Holy Beer Belt, Batman!
It’s called the beer belt, and it’s awesome. With this belt you’ll always remember where you last put your beer down, because it’ll be on your waist instead of at a table across the room! It’ll keep you from having to run back to the cooler, plus you could always pick up a few extra [...]
Pimp Your Cubicle: Race Chairs
So you spend most of your time in front of the computer blogging, designing, gaming, etc. It’s OK, we get it. As much as you want to be that guy who spends all of his time in the cockpit of an ultra high-end race car, you just can’t find the time in your schedule. If [...]
Cubesday: Jared Nielsen’s Masterpiece
In a more perfect world, I would only imagine that the majority of people would have the vision, genius, and initiative that Jared Nielsen had when he sunk $2000 into remodeling his own cubicle. The majority of the cost went into the chair and the LCD monitor, and rightly so.
Jared expresses the reasoning behind it [...]
Half Life Crab Hat: Nostalgic & Fashionable
Wow. This Half Life 2 Head-Crab Hat makes me all kinds of nostalgic for some serious Half Life gaming. Time to throw the Orange Box into the ol’ XBox 360.
Surprisingly, they’re only going to run you $30. Totally thought something like this would have been a lot more expensive. I can see Ben running around [...]
Sick Ink Brah: Alex Hillman’s Geeky Love & Hate Tattoos
Alex Hillman is one of the sweetest dudes around. He designs killer websites, does great things with Indy Hall (including an upcoming Battlestar Galactica party), gives lectures on social networking and technology, and he doesn’t yell at me when I have dumb web-related questions. And believe me, I have a lot of them.
However, one of [...]
Geek Chic: ASCII Curtains
I, for one, have never expressed a desire to own curtains based solely on how awesome they are… until now. Designer Nieke Sybrandy’s concept for these curtains (for those of you too young to remember) stems from graphical imagery used in prehistoric computing systems. American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is a character [...]
