If you’re a girl (or a guy with a girlfriend) that loves listening to music around the house while in your boxers, check out the iBoxers from Pl>y Underwear. Made from 93% cotton and 7% spandex, the geek chic boxers sport a little pocket in the front to keep your iPod, cell phone, or other MP3 player nice and safe while you comfortably dance in your underwear.
You can get them in print, black, pink, white, yellow, or turquoise. Visit Pl>y Underwear to find a retailer near you, but Amazon has them starting at $19, including Men’s version.
Here’s more geek clothing to add to the previous post. Check out these Space Invader and Pong themed scarfs from bits2die4. All of their scarfs are 100% Italian merino wool. They aren’t scratchy to the feel, in fact, they’re soft. Each scarf measures approximately 63 x 9 inches. $39 Euros each ($60 USD).
Ah, here’s some clothing that only geeks can appreciate.
First up is the “Broken Image Necklace”. The handmade necklace is on a 7″ leather cord closed with a sterling silver clasp. The ‘broken image’ pendant is lightweight plastic and measures about an inch. $19.99 via ThinkGeek.
Then, we have the “Broken Image T-Shirt” to match the above necklace. Available in sizes small to 4X large, you can proudly wear the logo that’s every web designer’s nightmare. $14.95 - $17.95, depending on the size, via J!NX.
Perfect for those that enjoy biking at night is the Turn Signal Biking Jacket. Using the LilyPad Arduino microcontroller board and LEDs, a biker can signal to drivers much easier without having to use arm signals. By using the controls embedded in the wrist, signaling your turns are no longer a problem in the dark. No more wearing those hideous bright reflector vests.
O’Neill, the sports clothing company, has announced the NavJacket, a sweater jacket with a built-in GPS. The NavJacket looks like your ordinary ski/snowboarding sweater jacket, except it has got a flexible GPS LED display sewn onto the left sleeve. The display provides information about your current speed, distance traveled, and weather forecasts. It also has built-in speakers inside the hood to provide audio instructions. In addition, the NavJacket allows wearers to connect their cell phone to the GPS, providing the phone with 3D maps and points of interests throughout the resort. Other reported features include the “find a friend”, which allows you to locate your friends on the slopes or follow the route they took. O’Neill plans to release the consumer version in time for the 2008/2009 Winter season.
We hear news stories of lost snowboarders every winter. The NavJacket should help prevent snowboarders from getting lost should they travel off course.
Check out this Donkey Kong t-shirt, which is actually the first level of the of awesome arcade game. It costs $19.99 via MyTeeSpot.
On another related note, if you haven’t seen the documentary, The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, I highly suggest it. If you’ve seen it already, skip the rest of this. For the others, it’s about two nerds, Billy Mitchell and Steve Weibe, going at it for the high score on Donkey Kong. You’ll be in disbelief with the amount dedication and deceit that goes on…just for a high score. Go rent it or something.
Hot Topic has a rather geeky Pac-Man hoodie for sale. I’m surprised to see them carry an item like this, normally they only carry music-related items. Regardless, for retro-fans, snag one for $45. The front is zippered.
From Etsy seller, Beatboxtaun, is a Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out themed scarf. Measuring 72 inches in length, it even seems to replicate the 8-bit graphics. Unfortunately, the scarf costs $175 USD and has been sold. I’m glad someone was willing to fork over $175 for a scarf.
