Yet More Geek Jewelry

earringsI know what you’re thinking, ‘not more geek jewelery, I’m so over that fad.’ Well, hey, I’ll stop posting it when you stop making it, alright? These earrings are made of printed circuit boards, cut down with a Dremel.

The maker wrote in to the MAKE blog, “sand the edges straight with a belt sander and then ultra-fine sand the edges and corners smooth. Since it is fiberglass, you must coat the raw edge with a clear nail polish, and make sure there is no lead solder on the back side against your ear. The studs and backers can be purchased at a fabrics & craft store by the 50ct. bag. The perfect jewelry for the computer geek or electronics nerd!”

Text My Shirt

Buy a shirt from Reactee, printed with the slogan of your choice, and people will be able to text messages to you using the same technology as they use in TV competitions. You choose a custom keyword, which people text along with their message to Reactee’s number. You get notified via your mobile when someone leaves a message.

So, say your slogan was ‘Free Sex’, as some witty person has uploaded to the Reactee gallery, then all the messages of disgust and outrage from those you pass in the street will be forwarded straight to you. Of course, a tee shirt with your mobile number printed on will achieve the same thing… :: Reactee
