The Katamari theme is only the beginning. Look closely–there’s  Linux shirt! Way to elevate the geekiness of the cake. That’s taking it to an all new level.

It’s always nice to see a cake topper like this, for such a special day, that really goes the extra mile in collecting the little details that make the couple unique and special. Geek-themed cakes (or really, any themed cakes) already do a lot to celebrate individuality, but a Linux shirt? Totally raising the bar.

At least that’s what crafter Jennifer Hayes of WoolyGeeks has been doing with her needle felted video game characters. Each of her little fuzzy felt creations is lovingly handcrafted from 100% wool fiber and is so cute that I think I might hurl. I mean look at those Pac-Man ghosts. And check out Q*Bert in all of his orange-y glory!

Who wouldn’t love a menagerie of these little guys on their desk or on top of their video game cabinet? And who here among us can ever forget Slime from the NES classic, Dragon Warrior?

I always wondered why Slime was so happy. If I were Slime, I’d want to take a shower and scrub all day until it was gone. And what collection of geek craft would be complete without some Super Mario Bros. 1-Up and Super Mushrooms? As good as they look, please do not attempt to eat them. I do not believe that your stomach will enjoy the process of digesting wool. And that goes for the cat too.

Prices for Jennifer’s felted creations range from $9 to $40 and can be found over on WoolyGeeks’ Etsy shop now. And if you’re into Dungeons & Dragons, you must check out her cute and fuzzy Beholder.

And look! You can even scrounge up RSS coasters if you want to do a whole decorative theme!

But we’re talking about pillows here, and at Craftsquatch’s Etsy store, you can get a whole passel of geeky pillows, from designs similar to the Adobe CS icon pillows featured here before to–look! It’s the adorable little Reddit alien.

The pillows may vary in price and design, but they’re all equally adorable.

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 Knight. Of course, since the light can only project the Bat symbol about 16-feet, don’t expect him to show, unless he happens to live in your bedroom closet. On the other hand, the Bat-Signal might do a pretty good job attracting Mothmonsterman.

The Bat-Signal is available in a limited edition of just 500 pieces and can be found over at Entertainment Earth for a special sale price of $258.39 (USD) – it normally sells for $299.99. A real Bat-Bargain!

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 starship-in-a-bottle design:

When there’s something strange in your living room, who ya gonna call? GhostDustBusters! (Ooh, that sucked.)

Jenga anyone?

Kids too young to remember Optimus Prime? That’s okay, now that Thomas the Transformer is here:

And what geeky t-shirt collection would be complete without some Space Invaders?

You can check out the entire collection of geeky ironic shirts over at the Glennz Tees online shop.

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 (max 5 letters.)

They’re currently sold out, but you can email with your choice for a custom tee. You can get the letters attached to the sleeve or the back just below the neck. Somehow they claim to be machine washable, which seems surprising to me.

You can get them in black or gray, and at press time these were strictly for the ladies. Sorry, guys. Although it’s probably for the best, as I would postulate that while this might work on a girl, whereas a guy would probably just get his a$$ kicked for wearing this.

This marks an exciting milestone for nerdy guys everywhere, who can now, in one fell swoop, combine their top two loves: robots and lady parts. And of course, if you have no access to real, live ladies, you can always hook this onto one of your creepy stand-ins.

I’m a woman, but please don’t look to me to explain what the heck those rubberband-lookin’ things on the side of the underwear are. I have no idea and have never seen them before. They baffle and confuse me to no end.

You can get the set for around $16 from Tilly’s, if you dare. I mean, I’m tempted to get some, but I’m concerned they just might make me too magnetically irresistible to a certain binary code-loving, Star Wars toothbrush-having, javascript joke-making segment of the populace. Actually that pretty much describes myself, so that’s a bit tautological.

Rhombus’ James and Boris dress shirts are just perfect for the computer geek with fashion sense (although I’m not sure how large that intersection would look on a Venn diagram). Each one is made from 97% cotton / 3% stretch fabric – dry clean only, so be careful not to spill too much Mountain Dew on yours!

And if Binary isn’t your language, there’s another pattern that’s made from old standardized tests (No. 2 pencil not included). There’s also a traditional gingham design, but who wants that?

The dress shirts sell for $75 each, and can be found over at Rhombuswear. For you cheapskates, be sure to check out the Thomas t-shirt — it comes in the same patterns, and sells for just $20 (short-sleeve) or $30 (long-sleeve).

Up until now, I’ve written 99.9% of Technabob’s 2000+ stories myself. While I really want to be a total control freak, I’ve realized that my readers crave more content than I can handle all by my little old self. That said, I’m certain that at least one of you out there is up to the challenge of finding wondrous new geekery and weird science.

If you’re convinced that you know your stuff in video games, gadgets, electronics, hack & mods, or generally offbeat techie stuff, you could be the chosen one. You’ll need to be able to source (at least some of) your own stories, have a witty, irreverant or otherwise sharp-as-a-tack writing style, and it won’t hurt if you’ve got a little experience cropping and scaling images using Photoshop, Picnik or the like.

I’ll tell you in advance that blogging for Technabob won’t make you wealthy, but it’s a great opportunity to expose your writing talents to tons of people, and if you happen to write your own blog, it’s a nice way to get a bit of extra traffic.

Ready to throw your hat into the ring? Just e-mail an appropriate writing sample or two to tips@technabob.com, along with your contact information, and a brief explanation of why you think you’d be the ideal addition to the Technabob editorial crew.

Especially the part about blogging about diagrams like this one.

Then again, the awesomely bad Engrish phrase has permeated geek culture for quite some time now, so if you’re not familiar with it by now, you’ve been living under a rock for the last 7 years. Now you can use the phrase to stake your claim on anything that’ll hold ink with this fun rubber stamp.

Designed with an appropriately retro bitmap typeface, the stamp was created by Etsy artist Terbearco, hidden between the artist’s stamps of bunny rabbits and birdies. (Also found in the artist’s collection, the F.U. stamp, perfect for making those cute animals profane).

The AYB stamp measures about 3″ x .5″ and costs just $6.99. So if you’re ready to make your mark on every piece of paper in the office, you can grab one here.

Sure, these aren’t the most beautiful lights you’ll ever lay your eyes on, but they are perfect for serious Star Wars junkies. They’re not fancy, running on AAA batteries, and emanating a subtle LED glow. They come in both green (Jedi) and red (Sith) variants, but no matter which one you choose, they’ll each bring a bit of the Light Side to your dark room. The sabers measure in at just under 16-inches tall, making them good for a bedside table, or on either side of your couch.

They’re available now from NCSX for $23 each.

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 sitting on the pot, you can pick one up from BeWild for about $10 bucks.

Each lightsaber features a variety of cool effects, including:
• glowing blades with sliding power-up/down effect
• sound effects digitally recorded from the movie
• motion sensor controlled sound effects, Power-up, idle hum, clash, and power-down
• a heavy-duty metal hilt to looks and feels like a “real” lightsaber

The come in 5 varieties, including: Darth Maul – DUAL Red Blade – $199.99 USD; Darth Vader – Red Blade – $99.99 USD; Anakin Skywalker – Blue Blade – $99.99 USD; Mace Windu – Purple Blade – $119.99 USD; and Obi Wan – Blue Blade – $119.99 USD. Each model runs on AA batteries, and comes with a nice decorative stand for when you’re not kicking Jedi (or Sith) ass.

If only the “Star Wars Kid” had one of these instead of a golf ball retriever, maybe he wouldn’t have looked like such an idiot. (Oh, who am I kidding, he’d still look like an idiot.)
