A good majority of you reading this are fellow geeks like myself. Well geeks, if you feel like your wardrobe is lacking a sense of your geeky personality then fret no more! thinkgeek.com once again has provided me an answer to that very dilemma with a shirt that is the epitome of geek fashion (and function).

I just bought their wi-fi detector t-shirt, and I must say, it is quite rad. The shirt itself is merely a black t-shirt with a velcro patch in the center, but it comes with a decal that, as the product name states, detects wi-fi signals around you in real-time. Thats right, without busting out your laptop, you can merely glance at your shirt to see if the connection is strong enough to get online and show that video to your friends you’ve been raving about. How awesome is that? the answer is very awesome, my friend. The first day I wore it to school I got nothing short of amazed looks and responses from everyone :-) Awesome way to make yourself stand out! Other stylish electronic shirts the have include the T-qualizer shirt(shirt with a sound equalizer board that displays nearby ambient sounds and noises).

the shirt itself is listed on their site at $29.99. to view the t-shirt itself, click here.

This phone is the pinnacle of ThinkGeek.com’s collection of cool.

I recently was given one of these as a birthday gift (April 29), and what a gift it is. Even though I’m only 20, I still enjoy those old rotary-dial phones. It was great to pull this out of the box and find it to be such a great resemblance of the original. They even did a decent job at making it weigh the same. One thing that was different, though, was that it wasn’t attached to a rotary phone!

The only thing that aggravated me was that I had to wait 6 hours before I could use it in order to give it enough time to charge, which was a problem because I was really excited to try it out.

Finally, once it had charged (via USB from my computer), I paired it with my great LG VX8300 by using the PIN 0000, and then I was ready to start chatting like it was late 1949.

This phone is great for casual use around the house. I wouldn’t consider it practical for walking around with, but if you’re looking for attention, I’m sure you’d get plenty of it from this device.

To answer and hang up, there is a small white button on the bottom of the receiver that you press. Also, by holding it, it toggles the power. I was very happy to find out that the charging port is a standard Mini-B USB connector. If you don’t have a mini-b to standard usb cable lying around, don’t worry - it gives you one for free.

I’m very happy that I received this gift from my girlfriend, Alysse. She obviously knows me very well. Now all I need is for somebody to call me so that I can use it more often. :-)

This was one of my first purchases from ThinkGeek.com
and is easily one of my favorites. It never ceases to amaze people when they first notice it. A great description for it would be an on-the-go box cutter combined with a precision screwdriver. I swear that the screwdriver on this thing is the only one I own that is small enough to open up those small gadgets that we all own. The screwdriver is a bit difficult to use due to the placement of the blade, but I quickly got used to it. The product is made up of very durable metal, and so far has never needed any tweaking. Before I purchased it, I didn’t believe that it’d actually be as small as a regular key, but it held up to its description. I reccomend it to all of my friends, because in all seriousness, for 10 dollars, this thing is a real bargain.

It contains:

• Semi-serrated knife blade
• Micro Flat or Phillips screwdriver
• Eyeglass screwdriver
• Bottle opener

And if you’re wondering, it doesn’t have to get threaded onto your key-ring. Instead, it just snaps on and off for quick and easy access!
