Think Geek

My latest favorite web catalogue is Think Geek at ThinkGeek.com. Some of the geeky things I love:
Digital Measuring Tape. Because I hate writing down measurements and I always forget when I don't write them down.
LOL Cats poetry magnets! Hai Doods!

LED Emoticon lights for the car. This is my favorite. You control it with a remote control and it can show 5 different messages. It is apparently not legal in some states, though.
This next one is for Brande. A DIY drinking straw! Utilitarian straw art.
Ooooh, this is a bluetooth laser virtual keyboard that allows you to type on any flat surface. It's $160 and totally not necessary but it looks SO cool.

BEHOLD:

There was no "guys guide to dating a geek" which leads me to believe that this site is for straight geek dudes who want supermodels. It made me sad. But then I thought about how they're never going to date supermodels. And I laughed. Here's the description:

"Geeks are human, yes, but sometimes they seem like a different species. They have social interactions that don't resemble anything else found in nature; they have language aspects and conventions that go against rational thought; and they many times have a unique body odor"

Sounds a lot like academics. No wonder I dig this site.

I'm totally geeked out for now.
