For the past couple of days, I’ve been holed up in a tiny country cottage with spotty, catch-as-you-can WiFi access. More often than not, I had no connection, and I started to think that figured the wireless router was intentionally messing with my head. Perhaps it was this plush evil wireless router that was disrupting my connectivity…

While there are many symbols of true geekdom, it’s possible that none is more iconic than the classic Casio calculator watch. There’s nothing that says “I still live in mom’s basement” more than a watch that can do math. But if you wear one of these, you probably can already calculate pi to 100 digits in your head, so what’s the point?..

Soft and squishy aren’t usually words I use to describe computer hardware. However, there’s always an exception to every rule, right?

Amidst her handmade menagerie of teddy bears, bunny rabbits and other cute critters, Delaware crafter Poisonholly created this seemingly out of place plush Guitar Hero 2 controller.

The hand crafted guitar bears more than a passing resemblance to the PS2’s cherry red Gibson SG, complete with colored fret “buttons” on the neck…

I’ve certainly seen some odd gadgets come across my desk, but these plush speakers from Korea have to be some of the weirdest I’ve ever seen.

These “BooRu-BooRu” dolls look like some sort of bizarre Teletubbies on crack. They have a soft cloth body and hide their controls in the eyeballs, ears and tummies…

Check out this awesome plush fabric Nintendo Entertainment System.

Nintendo fan and seamstress extraordinaire blueblythe, hand-sewed and embroidered this amazing stuffed-felt tribute to the classic 8-bit gaming console of yore.

She not only cranked out a console, but two game cartridges, a controller, a light gun and interchangeable velcro screens of Mario and Duck Hunt…
