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.
The future geeks of America are going to have about as much patience to learn in school as a mouse has patience to escape a mouse trap. Technology has minimized patience to a minimum, thanks to the speed of now. So, how are we going to teach future generations the essentials? Such as reading.
The A-Z of Awesomeness caught my attention right away, so I just know that a 12-year-old boy would just be sucked right in. Me and my Vietnamese boy slave have about the same patience level. In other words? This is the education method of the future! Check out more alphabetical awesomeness after the jump.
Word on the street is that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen had a HUGE opening day. Like, “second-biggest opening ever” huge. 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.
This Robots in Disguise t-shirt is equally geeky, funny and ironic. A perfect fashionable mix for this year’s premiere overrated moving picture. I’d rock it like a hurricane. Close-up after the jump.
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.
The holidays have come and gone but chances are, you still have a few gift cards sitting in your wallet. Speaking of your wallet, we’ve got to talk. It’s simply too ratty and dull for a person of your stature to use for carrying business cards in. Do you want creases and bends all over those beautiful new cards you purchased? Of course not. Plunk down that $25 Amazon gift card you got in exchange for this circuit board card case. It’ll carry all your cards and features an intricate PCB on the outside of it, ensuring your true geek colors shine true and proudly. Just don’t try soldering anything to it; it’s a lost cause.
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 will be offering a new service that will set up game consoles including the PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360. Part of the set up includes installing parental restrictions, controls and even the Internet. Sometimes AV inputs and a power cord can be too much for some folks. Don’t worry, the Geek Squad is here to help. No mention of the price of the service if you purchased a system from Best Buy, however, the Geek Squad will charge you $30 bucks if you bought it elsewhere. It’s almost as much of a hoax as that Bluetooth set up service it offers.
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 seen before such as the iPhone cupcakes, some Star Wars cakes, the infamous LEGO Batman cake and the uber elaborate Super Mario Bros. wedding cake. Of course, I post the picture of the Enterprise’s bridge because I’m a Trekkie. Don’t bust my nuts about it.

We all do some pretty dorky things in our time. Whether it be waiting two hours to get an autograph from William Shatner or cosplaying as one of your favorite Star Wars characters, dorkiness never escapes us. Hacking a video game to propose marriage is another feat that tops our list. A guy who goes by the handle TheRealPfhreak hacked a Chrono Trigger SNES ROM to propose his love to his girlfriend.
In the game, a golden knight spawns on top of one of the mountains in 1000 AD and begins to rant about a woman he loves. It just so happens that TheRealPfhreak’s girlfriend was playing and stumbled upon the golden night who revealed his love to the player herself. Talk about breaking down the fourth wall.
For the fashionista who just doesn’t have time to get jammed full of cock, here’s a pair of Blackberry earrings for you. Classier than a pair of zippers, these will symbolize your commitment to your device and undying love for it. The next time you’re popping a squat on the toilet with these on and your Blackberry device in your hand, I want you to remember that you’re a total RIM job.
Zing!
