nerds

In honor of the upcoming scholarly holiday, I am highlighting a fun shirt from my shop. Yes, self-promotion time. Plus, I think this is a very cool shirt. I guess that might tell you something about how un-cool I am. ;-)

The "I LOVE PI" shirt expresses my nerdy tendencies and punny sense of humor (I know, it's so funny, you forgot to laugh) in a geek chic fashion statement. If this kind of thing appeals to you, go check it out. Remember, pi day is 3.14. That's March 14, get it? Right on!

This water-powered clock is so cool! Not only does it run on water (or any electrolyte liquid), but it can even do bud-vase duty.

That's good news, because not only will it tell time for two to three months on a single fill of the reservoir, but looking at flowers in the morning can help you feel better. It's true. (You can read more about the Harvard study on flowers here.)

So this clock can help you use fewer batteries and help improve your mood. Sounds like a winner! Too bad it doesn't make breakfast too... Get more information at ThinkGeek.

Remember those super cool calculator watches from the 1980s? Well, if you had one of those back then, you will definitely want one of these new video watches now! The one pictured here is available from ThinkGeek for about $79 US. Features include:

• A 128 x 128 pixel full color OLED screen (better picture and uses less energy than LCD)
• 2 GB flash memory
• Built-in microphone
• Audio and video playback
• Leather band and sleek metal case
• Charges by USB, and plays for up to 7 hours on a charge (4 hours for video play)

Oh, and it also tells time. No calculator, though. Get more information here.
