Folksy Friday: Geek Chic

I'm a self confessed geek. In my day job I do experiments and play with numbers, and outside of that I spend way too much time on t'interweb (and referencing geek cartoons and urban dictionaries as I go). Having recently relocated, I realised how many ways in which I use the internet, and was incredibly grateful for mobile broadband seeing me through until I got a proper connection.

Inspired by all this, this week's Folksy Friday is on the theme of Geek Chic. First up, because I'm a practical girl at heart, I was very drawn to this item which has not one but two (albeit rather different) functions - a USB stick shaped like an old skool clothes peg:

Next, a homage to everyone's favourite feminised yellow major circular sector:


Carrying on the gaming theme, who could possibly resist a bag o' Lemmings?


If you're after a personalised gift for the geek-boy in your life, these might do the trick:

Another aesthetically pleasing yet practical item:

Finally, although I share Charlie Brooker's attitude to Macs and their disciples, I have to admit that style-wise, Apple are consistently streets ahead:
