Walking Dead Walker Chest Plate

Walking Dead Walker Chest Plate

Step right up to Doctor Timmy's Traveling Survival Emporium! It may look like nothing more than a station wagon, but let me assure you - Doctor Timmy has in here all the goodies you need to keep yourself alive and un-bit. Whether you call 'em Biters, Walkers, or Geeks (though Doctor Timmy ain't none too fond of callin' them that last one - Doctor Timmy fancies himself a geek, and not the bitey kind), the best way to sneak through a herd of 'em is to disguise yourself as one of 'em...


Adjusts to the job

Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench

Gadgets For Geeks

Doctor Who has his sonic screwdriver - a small tool that can adjust to any situation. It uses advancements in technology to provide an infinitely adaptable tool. While the Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench won't let you start up your TARDIS, it will let you fiddle with twenty three different sizes of bolts and nuts. And the secret resides in wrench's liquid core. Take a look at the little computer graphic cut-away, and you'll know what we mean. To adjust the Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench, just open the valve, fit around the nut or bolt of your choice, and push the gripper on the opposite end. It will compress the liquid which will, in turn, push the gripper on the end you want. Once it is snug against the nut, close the valve and your Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench is locked into position. It's that easy! The slim heads of the wrench will let you sneak it into tight spaces, and the design of the grip will help you turn even damaged nuts and bolts. Once you get your Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench in your hands, you will instantly know its power - that it looks like something from Doctor Who or Star Trek doesn't hurt either!

Geek Apparel: "Did I just use 'bacon' as a verb? Maybe."

Best Gadgets

I [Bacon] Delicious Meats

We are proud to present to you the conjugation of the verb "to bacon" in the present tense. *clears throat* SINGULAR PLURAL I bacon. We bacon. You bacon. You bacon. He/she/it bacons. They bacon. The beauty of the verb "bacon" is its plasticity of meaning. It could mean "love;" it could mean "eat." The only restriction is that any sentence in which it is involved must have something to do with tastiness. The Word Police told us so. "I [image of bacon] Delicious Meats" printed in bacon-y shades of red on a Vegas gold 100% cotton t-shirt. Yeah. We don't know about that Vegas gold thing either. But, you know, hey.

Herocross DC Comics Metal Figures

Herocross DC Comics Metal Figures - Batman

We're looking forward to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. No matter how we feel about what we've seen in the trailers and leaked images, we're looking forward to the release of the movie, if only to give us more reason to talk about Batman and Superman in mixed (read: non-geek) company. Plus, if we don't like the movie, we can rewrite it and direct it with our own figures and upload it on YouTube. Nyah nyah...


A survival tool for creating a tool of survival

Swedish FireSteel

Originally developed for the Swedish Department of Defense, Swedish FireSteel is a flash of genius. Its nearly 3,000°C spark makes fire building easy in any weather, at any altitude. Used by a number of armies around the world, Swedish FireSteel's dependability has already made it a favorite of survival experts, hunters, fishermen and campers. It has also found its way into cabins and backyards as a fool-proof way to light stoves and gas-barbecues. Amazingly enough it also works equally well when wet. We think geeks will appreciate the power of being able to start a fire with such a simple tool. A metal blade is slowly moved across the Firesteel, generating sparks that can easily be thrown onto a small pile of dry grass, leaves or paper to start a fire. When the fire is becoming established, thin sticks of wood can be added, gradually increasing to thicker ones. The Swedish FireSteel has these great features.Best gadgets For Geeks


Finding the Perfect Gadget For the Geek in Your Life

Geek Gadget Guide - Finding the Perfect Gadget For the Geek in Your Life
By Tate Fontaine

The task of buying gifts for gadget aficionados can seem very daunting. They have seemingly every gadget under the sun and they know about all the newest gadgets. The goal of this guide is to help you avoid the pitfalls and get the ultimate geek gadget for your loved ones. Gadget obsessed geeks are notoriously difficult to buy gifts for. They either have it or they have a better version of it already.

"Uh, thanks granddad! An All-in-one phone-MP3 player-address book-internet-camera. Its uh.. fine, I mean great. What? Yeah I love gadgets. Thanks.." If your buying a gift for one of these types, every family has one, this guide will help you find the ultimate geek gadget!

What makes a great Geek Gadget?

First you have to understand the psychology behind technology enthusiasts. They are, at heart, big kids and gadgets are the acceptable face of the adult toy industry. With that in mind lets take a look at what factors go into making a great geek gadget.

  • New. If the gadget has been out long enough that you have heard of it they will not want it. It has to be cutting edge. If it was available last Christmas chances are it is already too old to set your beloved gadget lovers heart on fire.

  • Practical. Well not so much practical but it has to fulfill a need. Preferably one that they did not even know that had. Like metal detecting flip flops.

  • Advanced. As a rule of thumb it needs to impractically overpowered for what it needs to do. If your buying a secure USB Flash Drive it needs to have better encryption than the CIA uses.

  • Uncommon. Every gadget geek wants to show off to their friends. They all have a need to be the first one in their group of friends to have something, so they can casually pull it out at the pub and start tinkering with it.

Mens gadgets are always popular, look at one of the more successful brands of shaving razors on the market today and you will see the the rules mentioned in this article playing out. Whether it be the number of blades, the frequency they release new models or if it needs batteries you will never look at gadgets in the same way again.

Please bare in mind that gadgets do not have to cost the earth in fact some of the best ones are weird gadgets and they are more often than not cheap gadgets. Good luck finding your gift gadgets. If you need inspiration in finding the latest gadgets take a look at the latest geek gadget blogs on the internet.

Geek Apparel: What the High Council wears on casual Fridays

Geek Apparel

High Council of the Time Lords

You know the High Council of the Time Lords? Not exactly known for their fashion sense. They're big into lamé. Plus the floor-length robes with make mobility complicated. And they have that huge collar with the silly headpiece that makes it impossible to blend in. We can just hear Michael Kors intoning as one walks the runway, "She looks like she belongs in a Vegas church choir.

" We had the option to get this in a mustard yellow with a red print. It had a sort of all-over-condiment feel to it. The vendor who holds the license, fortunately, let us do it on something a bit more subdued. We opted for an ice grey with the Seal of Rassilon in a red reminiscent of the robes. The inscription around the seal reads, "High Council of the Time Lords • Gallifrey - Kasterborous." 100% cotton.Geek Apparel

Tantalizingly Frustrating Puzzles to Perplex

Fiendish Japanese Pocket Puzzle

These palm size puzzles are almost too deviously evil to inflict on you and your friends. The moment these solid metal precision crafted monstrosities arrived from Japan, productivity at the ThinkGeek world headquarters dropped to an all time low as puzzle solving obsession kicked in. In fact we barely had time to write this description because we've been fiddling with these lovely things for days. The Fiendish Japanese Pocket Puzzles are based on classic mechanical puzzles from around the world. What makes these puzzles so appealing is how you always seem to be on the verge of solving them. The precision metal casting becomes apparent as you try to separate the parts of each one to solve it. They are just sooo close to coming apart you will be cringing with delight. Solutions are NOT included... but maybe if you call us and ask us nicely we'll give you a hint... that is as soon as we solve ours.

We're offering four different difficulty levels of the Fiendish Japanese Pocket Puzzles. We would rate level 3 as "solvable if you fiddle with it long enough". While level 6 is "insanely hard and requires some serious thought". If you solve one of the level 6 puzzles snap a photo and e-mail it to us... we'll certainly bow to your superhuman puzzle solving prowess.Geek Shop


Who needs a watch when we have the sun?

Best Gadgets Sundial Ring

Technology is awesome, but can we trust it? How can we be sure that our cell phones aren't recording our brain waves and transmitting our ideas to evil corporations? How can we be sure that our watches aren't silently recording our pulses and sending the data to Big Food so they know when to advertise those juicy bacon cheeseburgers on TV and ruin our diet plans? Yeah, see, now you're paranoid too. We've taken the mirrors out of our bathrooms to avoid that classic horror movie moment, too. We recommend you do the same. Preventative paranoia is the key to success.

Part of our plan is eschewing traditional watches for the sundial. Inspired by designs from Babylonia, Egypt, the Celts of Northern Europe, the Mayans and Incas and Aztecs, we've found the most imaginative and accurate wearable sundials anywhere. Instructions for reading your new sundial are included. Batteries, however, are not. They're not needed! Who needs batteries to sense the rhythms of the solar system? Guaranteed to work as long as the sun rises... and we don't want to think about the day that stops happening.

How the Sundial works...

On a sunny day, suspend the sundial by its black satin cord. Through a tiny hole, a thin ray of sunshine will illuminate a number on the inside of the dial showing the time of day. This Aquitaine sundial was named after Eleanor of Aquitaine, who gave one to King Henry II of England so Henry would know when to return from the hunt for their love trysts. (One must always be timely for love trysts. Tryst us on that one.)

How the Stardial works... Set the middle wheel to the month, hold the dial upside down, and sight the North Star through the center hole. Move the top of the dial's arm to align with the uppermost stars of the Big Dipper, and read the time on the inner dial where the arm crosses the hour mark! Star dials were first used in the 15th century by navigators and are extremely accurate because they are based on the North Star.

Product Features

•Pewter sundial & stardial ring pendants

•Tell the time without electricity, gears, or other technology

•Modeled after historical timepieces

•Approximately 1.3 inches (3.3 cm) in diameter

•Comes with a 30" black silk cord (or supply your own chain)

Cell Stuff: Flush those other iPhone Stands down the Toilet

iPlunge Phone Stand

Ladies and Gentlebeings, the future has arrived! Convergence is here, and with it brings phones with TVs in them, internet enabled personal devices, two-way video conferencing in your pocket, and yes, portable pr0n. Take the good with the bad, right?

Now that we’ve conveniently placed all this passive entertainment at our fingertips, do we really need our fingertips to be constantly engaged in manipulating said entertainment? What we mean is, why are we forced to hold our phones while we use them? Why not put it down and eat your popcorn, like you would in any movie theater?

See, your phone, while awesomely connected, isn’t the same as a TV. A TV sits serenely in some corner of your house, at just the right angle for best reproduction of picture with a minimum of glare. Your phone, if it were to take the place of your TV, would have to be held up between 30 and 45 degrees off a flat surface for optimum viewage, and that requires something to hold it up.

You can try to prop it up with something, but that’s awkward and prone to failure. Cases can be so bulky, and goes against the slim sleek design aesthetic you’ve grown accustomed to. What you need, my friend, is a plunger. You heard right - a plunger! About two inches long, the iPlunge attaches firmly to the back of your shiny glossy i-device, and the wooden tail props itself up at just the right angle.

Not only are you able to, hands-free, enjoy your favorite shows, but you do so with just about the coolest and most ironic propping device around. Throw those other stands and cases in the toilet*, and get an iPlunge instead!

*ThinkGeek recommends not throwing bulky non-degradable items into municipal plumbing systems as it could cause clogs, water damage, and angry homeowners.Cell Phone Accesories


Yes, Empire is the Best Star Wars Movie

Star Wars AT-AT Model

In the ranks of cool sci-fi vehicles the AT-AT is clearly near the top of the list. It takes a lot of vision to create a gawky four-legged mechanical beast and have it come off so amazing. Certainly the AT-AT was one of the highlights of Empire which is obviously the best Star Wars movie ever. When we saw AT-ATs taken down with a Snowspeeder tow line we were hooked.

Problem is, AT-AT toys are few and far between. This is probably due to some kind of sad paradox where the most coveted sci-fi movie icons always have the lowest number of good toys. However that's about to change with the introduction of this high-quality Star Wars AT-AT Model.

You might think "model" and have terrible visions of half finished plastic hulks with smelly glue and messy paint. That's certainly not the case here. The Star Wars AT-AT Model is fully painted and detailed right out of the box. All that's needed is for you to break the parts out of the plastic sprue and follow the directions to assemble. No glue is required as everything snaps together neatly. Once you've finished building your AT-AT you'll find that he is quite posable with articulation on the head, all four legs and feet. Now you'll just have to keep him away from rebel troops in snowspeeders.Geek Toys
