Space Invaders Alarm

The true geek is more likely to be woken up by a chance to play videogames than by any alarm clock. To take advantage of this totally natural instinct, use this Space Invader alarm clock, which emits the game‘s trademark beeps, sweet music to your ears to wake you up in the morning. It lights [...]

LED Mascara

It’s almost Halloween, and if you haven’t come up with a costume yet, these LED-enhanced fake eyelashes are a great way to throw a little geek-chic into your look. Even better, they’re hooked up to a tilt-sensor so that when you turn your head, the lights blink on and off. Cosmetics and electronics should mix [...]

Math Lamp

If the math watch from last week wasn’t enough to satisfy your lust for numbers, don’t worry–this lamp is a math geek’s dream come true. To turn it on, simply solve a randomly-generated math problem on the attached keypad! The chalkboard mounting lets you calculate in longhand to your heart‘s content, though it probably won’t [...]

A New Kind of Computer Bag

Portuguese designer João Sabino has taken geek-chic to a whole new level, crafting stylish purses out of discarded computer keyboards. The “Keybag,” available in four fetching colors, is not as large as standard computer bags and backpacks, though it could probably hold a small laptop computer as long as it wasn’t packed in with too [...]

This math watch ensures that anyone surreptitiously peeking at your wrist to tell the time had better at least know their basic algebra. All the mathematical operations on the face simplify to the numbers on a “normal” clock, of [...]

Geeks Deserve Cold Drinks Too!

Sometimes, leaving your computer chair to grab a cold, refreshing beverage from the refrigerator just isn’t an option. It’s not laziness, it’s just–there’s so much interesting stuff to read on your newsfeed, and you have to finish this level of the game you just downloaded, and you found this great site full of customizable products [...]

Mac Aquarium

Like all the other geeks out there, I’m always on the prowl for new technology. This thirst for novelty becomes a problem when the old computers, mp3 players, cameras, and other electronics start to pile up. Disposing of old computers in an eco-friendly manner is costly and time-consuming. What’s a sustainability-minded geek to do? Why, [...]

Giant Earbuds

The MP3 player and its classic earbud headphones are staples of every geek’s wardrobe, but what about when it’s time to listen to music in the home? Thankfully, you don’t have to abandon your beloved earbuds just because you want to hear music out of real speakers once in a while. These earbud speakers are [...]
