Tools for the Wannabe Geek

:ahh:

Ok, at first I was like… Oops. Ogre posted a wrong link… And then I looked at the back of that thing.

I have 3 words.

I want one!!!

This watch is the ultimate in geekdom. And I know someone who owns one. :smiley:

Okkk. The most essential thing to g33k-hood is like a really heavy, obscenely huge, complicated, and uber cool calculator. I mean not just any ordinary calculator, I mean the ones with a keyboard on it and 3D functions. They’re soo cool. I wish I had one.
-mmm… calculator. lol :smiley:

You have to read the whole manual for your graphing calculator, otherwise you’re one of the billion losers (;)) who don’t know how to use it. The manual is only 150 pages for the TI-83+ family. :smiley:

But aren’t g33ks frequently w/o $$$? All I know is that a Voyage 200 is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Give me an 84+ SE any day!

You can’t be a geek unless you have the Original Star Trek Series.
Haha.
–Dori

not only can you not be a geek without some, but you still havent even started life until you have some LEGOs :smiley:

Any of the Fisher Space Pens.

They were mentioned in this thread

Who else would want a pen that can right in 0 gravity?

You’re right about that one :smiley:

Wow, a lot of this stuff is awesome. But aren’t they for uber cool g33ks? I mean honestly, I think people who have that kind of technology are sooo cool. Or maybe if you think people who have those stuff you’re a g33k yourself. haha
-so, for the stereotypical g33k, I feel these things are essential

  1. a pocket protector
  2. glasses
  3. calculator always at hand
  4. a vast arrangement of pens and pencils
  5. kleenex (g33ks tend to sneeze a lot)
  6. a formal understanding of D&D
  7. mebbe an inhaler
  8. their own internet site or 2, it depends
    haha. okk… I had some time to think about this kind of stuff :smiley:

cd distro of linux. might i suggest phlak.org?

How about a PDA?

Go old school—
get a slide rule

How about a case or two of Bawls and an RJ45 crimping tool…

i second the bawls, and you need to have g33ky music also

mebbe reading the dictionary for fun :smiley:

Two words: BINARY CLOCK :slight_smile:

A high quality DDR home pad is a necessity. I prefer Cobalt over RedOctane myself, but if you must take RedOctane you are still geeky for purchasing any of the above.

A Binary bed set (pillow & blanket) are available at thinkgeek.com

A must for any selfrespecting geek.

Also!!!
A good Emulator on your computer, Zsnes if you want old school geek like me and play Super Mario World all day (I loooove that game).
