Test Your Skill With A Geek Clock

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Do you think of time in mere digits filled with ways to make calculations? Ok, well… some people actually do, my mother for one. Time was never simple if you asked her. Time was always a complex answer filled with, “well, it is 15 min later than the last time you asked, so figure it out!”

Ok, so I am failing at being funny here, but whatever… the important thing is this clock is the ultimate in geek home accessories for any math loving nerd around! Plus, it will definitely drive your kids crazy if they actually feel as tough they have to calculate the equations in order to tell time! (hint: the answers equal the actual time). This geek clock has a nice chalk board style background and the other geek clock comes styled with a graph background~ check both geek clocks out.

Wheeled Laptop Bags Are The Ultimate in Convenience

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Wheeled Laptop Bags are truly the ultimate in convenient carrying vessel for laptops and more, especially for those people who carry around a lot of work, books, or equipment with them. Often time traditional laptop bags can get very heavy or are not created to hold additional weight or baggage. The biggest advantage with wheeled laptop bags obviously is that you no longer have to carry this weight on your shoulder; instead you can just wheel it along with you like luggage.

When searching for wheeled laptop bags, you should keep in mind what and where you will be using it. Like all laptop bags, wheeled laptop bags come in different styles, sizes, and with different options. If you’re a student or travel a lot, something durable yet still lightweight might be ideal. However, if you work in a office and often tote around your computer for presentations or sales meetings, perhaps you might wish to consider more of a leather briefcase like bag.

Our beautiful selection of Siamod wheeled laptop bags are not only attractive they are incredibly durable and convenient. Perfect for the traveling professional, this stylish wheeled laptop bag also accessorizes as a non-wheeled laptop case with its Patented 2-in-1 Convertible System. It features a flap-over design with two accessory pockets while its interior provides space for personal and professional items.

‘Tis the Season for Fun Geek Toys

Monday, December 14th, 2009

I just love this time of year… the chill in the air, the gleam in the eyes of kids as they walk by department stores filled with lights and bright shiny objects, the smell of cinnamon and pine, and of course… the gifts. But, we all know that it’s not really about the gifts… it’s about being together and just spending time with our loved ones. .. ok ok, so the gifts help a little.

Sharing a few meaningful gifts with each other makes the holiday season a bit more special I think so I have put together a small little list of some very cool geek toys that I am sure any geeky guy or girl would be thrilled to have, play with, or share.

EmoticonCoastersFor that geeky mom that already has everything but deserves something a bit different check out the eco-friendly emoticon drink coasters.Whether you feel :( or :D these coasters are for you. Mix and match and rearrange to your hearts content. They are made with layers of Eco-Felt (100% Recycled plastic bottles), cotton and cork and she will appreciate the humor in these stylishly geek emoticon coasters.

OctopusRobotTeeMensFor the sweet geeky guy you get distracted by at work every day… how about a fun and super soft Robot Octopus tee. Might just be the key to his heart… plus its soft and cuddly… score!! These tees are really cool, completely original design and created using environmentally friendly water based inks. They have a womens version too.

Robotred_fullFor the most amazingly smart and cute geeky kid, try the wooden robot toy. It’s not flashy, it doesn’t beep or screech, but it allows your kids imagination to soar large and is so much fun, plus its super sturdy… seriously, my son has thrown his up/down the stairs, outside… against walls… and yeah, it’s still working just fine ;) Arms, head, and legs move, made with  nice solid wood and quality workmanship.

robot_flashdriveFor a perfect stocking stuffer idea that is that not only is useful but cool.. try the Robot flash drives… comes in all different colors and the perfect size to keep in a backpack, briefcase, laptop bag, or even in a pocket. 1Gb offers enough storage for tons of necessary documents, music, or just transferring important files. And not only useful but super cute which makes it easy to not lose!

Infinity EarringsFor the new geeky girl in your life jewelry is something you can never go wrong with! Whether she is a designer, artist, gamer, wicked lil’ geek, or just someone special the geek chic jewelry will make her smile.

There is always that one person on your list that seems impossible to shop for… I know I have one. So finding a great charity and donating an amount in their name is really an ideal gift. A few charities I feel are worthwhile include: Heifer InternationalCharityWater and Soles4Souls.

Regardless of the gift, we all know if it’s given by someone special, then the gift usually offers more of a special meaning. If we can be of help to you in any way… ever… please ask. Finding something fun, unique, chic, or geeky is what we enjoy and are always willing to offer a hand in finding that perfect gift to put a smile on your geek.

We truly do wish you a wonderful Holiday Season… may it be a beautiful and memorable one!

ChicBuds Earphones Rock it Hardcore!

Monday, November 16th, 2009

ChicBudsWhite-on-BlackI LOOOVE music, totally music obsessed… everything from old skool 80′s to today’s Alternative, Rock, and more.  Pretty much everywhere I go I have my ipod or shuffle with me in my purse, (aka the bottomless pit) however the earphones would always get tangled up and it’d take me forever to untangle the mess.

Now, with my chicbuds and the retractable cord, its super simple to listen to my music without the hassle and mess in my purse. The chicbuds actually come with a cute metal case and I just toss the buds along with my shuffle in there and throw it all in my purse now.  ~simple~

So, not only am I organized, but I have the cutest, sexiest, bling bling earphones ever too! Everyone could use a little bling in their lives and treat their ears to somethin’ sweet!

The Chicbuds are adorned with Swarovski Crystals and created with a built-in retractor that allows the cord to expand and retract to 5 stopping points for various lengths. The clip stops cords from bouncing around and the retractable device prevents tangling when not in use.

chicBuds Earphones: A sweet treat for your ears!

A Wicked Funny Geek Watch Story

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

So, the other day I was at the grocery store wearing one of my super cool geek watches from Normal Watches. Anyways, this lady was right next to me in line staring at my watch. After 6 minutes I finally decided I’d had enough of her voyeurism and I asked her if she needed the time… I was just a little creeped out she could not stop staring at my arm!

OMFG Normal WatchesSo, she said “No thanks, I don’t need the time but I was trying to figure out what your watch says.” Here I am… in line at the grocery store… with about 5 people staring at me waiting for my response to this sweet older woman whose curiosity was now making me blush a bit because of course the one I had to be wearing on that particular day was the ‘OMFG’ watch!

I stated to her politely that it reads O.M.F.G. She then asks, “well what does this mean??” I could tell she was a little irrational not understanding and the people around her were starting to giggle a bit so I stated that it just means, “Oh my fregging goodness” (I could not think of a nicer or better way to state the meaning… after all it can have different meanings right??) and then it happened… she kinda loses it. “MY grandkids sit around all frekkin day texting to one another and I swear they must use that phrase 101 times, I can’t believe it!! And NOW I know… ahahahahaha… won’t they be surprised!”

The people in line at the grocery store could not contain themselves in their laughter  anymore and let out roars as this sweet woman cackled in seeming victory as though she finally felt she’d been granted one of life’s golden meanings. It was a very funny moment and something I am sure not many people will forget (nor will her grandkids I think!) Either way, it definitely gave me a big ole giggle, all thanks to my super wicked geek watch!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

pink_ribbonBreast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and the second leading cause of cancer death. Breast cancer is three times more common than all gynecologic malignancies put together. The incidence of breast cancer has been increasing steadily every year and it needs to end. A cure needs to be found, and now.

Facts

  • Every two minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer.
  • One woman in eight who lives to age 85 will develop breast cancer during her lifetime.
  • Breast cancer is the leading cause of death in women between the ages of 40 and 55.
  • Seventy percent of all breast cancers are found through breast self-exams. Not all lumps are detectable by touch. We recommend regular mammograms and monthly breast self-exams.
  • Eight out of ten breast lumps are not cancerous. If you find a lump, don’t panic-call your doctor for an appointment.
  • Mammography is a low-dose X-ray examination that can detect breast cancer up to two years before it is large enough to be felt.
  • When breast cancer is found early, the five-year survival rate is 96%. This is good news! Over 2 million breast cancer survivors are alive in America today.

“When breast cancer is found early, the five-year survival rate is 96%.”
—National Breast Cancer Foundation

During the month of October many sites, stores, and charity organizations collect and or donate a percentage of their sales to Breast Cancer Funding. Geek Gone Chic has pledged to donate 10% of the retail price of every Caring Case Collection Bag to the Komen Organization along with 10% of the gross sales for the month of October to The Breast Cancer Site.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the largest nonprofit to deliver funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world. And since it began in October 2000, The Breast Cancer Site has funded more than 16,000 free mammograms for low income, uninsured, and working poor women throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Both of these organizations are fabulous for women, men, and children in need and provide caring support for those who have ever been affected by breast cancer.

Support for this cause can come in all forms as well; purchases, donations, and even just a simple click of the mouse can fund research to help prevent and find a cure. Working together, we can make an impact and hopefully put an end to this fight for good!
