It’s hard to hang out on these wide internets without appreciating kitschy ‘net-related gear, so of course this RSS pillow caught my eye. It looks nice and soft, and that icon is so homey and familiar that I almost wish I didn’t have a red sofa that would clash with this thing in an eye-shattering sort of way.

And look!…

Perfect for closet crime-fighters, this replica Bat Signal will definitely give you extra geek cred the next time your friends come over.

The miniature replica Bat-Signal features a sturdy metal construction and stands about 12-inches tall. It’s got a built-in cooling fan and can be swiveled and tilted to give you the best shot at making contact with the Dark…

Looking for some new fashions to upgrade your geekster wardrobe? Look no further than these clever t-shirt designs from New Zealand graphic artist Glenn Jones.

Ever wonder how Darth Vader keeps his helmet so shiny and squeaky clean? Now you have your answer:

Star Wars not your thing? That’s okay, Glenn doesn’t discriminate, as he proves with this Star Trek…

I hate the misuse of the word “literally” but in this case I will tell you that you can literally wear the word “geek” on your sleeve. And you can do it with computer keyboard letters, too.

Etsy crafter pipix whips up these sweet tees. In addition to “geek” you can get N3RD, L33T,<B>, ShiftY, CtrlZ, or even a custom combination…

We’ve already seen not one but two iterations of Space Invaders undies for dudes, so it’s high time we let the ladies in on this brave new world of geeky underpants. Behold: the robot-themed bra and underwear set.

This marks an exciting milestone for nerdy guys everywhere, who can now, in one fell swoop, combine their top two loves: robots and…

At first glance this just looks like a nice, stylish button-down dress shirt. But upon further examination, you’ll notice that its shading isn’t just some sort of abstract pattern. It’s actually comprised of tens of thousands of little 0’s and 1’s.

Rhombus’ James and Boris dress shirts are just perfect for the computer geek with fashion sense (although I’m not…

I can hardly believe it myself, but Technabob is almost two years old, and with hundreds of thousands of readers each month, I’ve decided that we’re getting big enough that it’s time to add at least one new part-time writer into the mix.

Up until now, I’ve written 99.9% of Technabob’s 2000+ stories myself. While I really want to be…

This geek lifecycle flow chart recently appeared in The New York Times, and I’m more than a little frightened by how much of it rings true.

For those of you out there who never played the 1989 Japanese game Zero Wing, “All your base are belong to us” might not mean anything (not like it made much sense even if you did play it).

Then again, the awesomely bad Engrish phrase has permeated geek culture for quite some time now, so if you’re not familiar with…

I’ll start out by saying that I’ve always enjoyed the Star Wars franchise (except for the Ewoks and Jar Jar), but I’ve never as nuts about the series as say, that girl on American Idol last night who showed up for the audition wearing a Princess Leia outfit, hair buns and all. These lightsaber lighting fixtures are made for her and for…

If you wore one of those Casio calculator watches from the 80’s, here’s something else that just screams “I’m a geek, I have no girlfriend, and I don’t care.”

The chrome calculator belt buckle lets you add, subtract, multiply and divide, all from the convenience of your waistline. If you just have to be able to do math while you’re…

ThinkGeek is now offering these totally over the top Star Wars Force FX Lightsabers. They’re far more substantial and effect-laden than the cheapo toy lightsabers out there.

Each lightsaber features a variety of cool effects, including:
glowing blades with sliding power-up/down effect
