Birthday cards are hard to pick out as it is, but when shopping for a geek, it becomes even more difficult. Skimming through the cards at your local Walmart doesn’t leave you many options. These iCards are inspired by the original Apple iBook laptops. I haven’t seen many greeting cards which are specifically geared to Apple fans, in fact, this might be the first. You can grab your own set of three from Etsy for $12.

If you’re one of the moviegoers heading out to see Transformers in the coming days, you’re going to need a new outfit to fit in with the rabid fanboys.

What do these three movies have in common? They are three of the most important factors of geek culture. Now available convienantly mashed onto one clever t-shirt design. Seems like Frodo didn’t do quite a good enough job of destroying the precious. Darth, model T-9000, has managed to save the ring from the depths of Mordor. Is it possible that robo-Darth is actually Sauron himself? Trippy.

While you’re sure to get some strange looks from both sneering fashionistas and mildly frightened parents, you can’t help but enjoy the honesty of this t-shirt. You might not get a confidence boost from acknowledging the fact that you have more toys than a 12-year-old Japanese school girl, but anything else would simply be a lie. If us geeks are known for anything, it’s our complete and utter honesty when it comes to our geekery. Link [via]

Who would’ve thought that all of those AV nerds in high school would one day work on Best Buy’s Geek Squad. If geeks you know haven’t gotten a job on the squad then your next bet is to check your local Radio Shack. This holiday season, it’s not Radio Shack trying to steal your money with cheap RC cars and hearing aid batteries, it’s the Geek Squad with its gaming system set up service. For the holiday season, Geek Squad... Continue reading

SlipperyBrick painfully reminds me of what a loser I am with its latest list of geeky goodness. More importantly it reminds me that I’m a loser who’ll never get a chance to eat these desserts. Conner Flynn has comprised a list of 25 geeky cakes he feels were cleverly made to fit into his belly, all the while my belly remains emptier than a disco club in 2004. Among many in the list are some familiar ones you may have... Continue reading
