Not Just for Geeks
Rambling around the internet you stumble across many interesting things. Some are so useful, wonderful, fun or just plain interesting that you want to share them with others.
Here I'm building that collection to share - much of it is Geek Fodder, but some is just as much for the non-Geek or Geek Wannabe. You just never quite know what will show up here.
While I'm at it, I'd like to share the proceeds from anything purchased through this lens with a charitable organization: Sobriety High.
I hope you find what it is you are looking for - or something even better!
Get a Great Gift for Your Favorite Geek AND Support a Great Cause
Supporting Education and Sobriety for Recovering Youth
1/3 of all proceeds generated by this lens will go to Sobriety High.
About Sobriety High
For fifteen years, Sobriety High has brought new hope to chemically-dependent students in grades 9-12. To be eligible to attend SHS, students must be committed to maintaining their sobriety and continuing their education. To date, it has successfully graduated over 200 students.
Sobriety High School is not a treatment center or recovery program. It is, however, a safe and caring place for students in recovery to receive a quality education. Few, if any, other programs are as successful as SHS in providing a path toward a productive adulthood coupled with long-term sobriety for youth with addictions.

Too Cool for School - Way Cool Wi-Fi Detector T-Shirt
Be a Beacon of Connectivity!
Description from ThinkGeek:
Here at ThinkGeek we're pretty lazy when it comes to technology. We expect our gadgets to do all the busywork while we focus on the high level important tasks like reading blogs. That's why we hate to have to crack open our laptops just to see if there is any wi-fi internet access about... and keychain wi-fi detectors, we would have to actually remove them from our pockets to look at them. But now thanks to the ingenious ThinkGeek robot monkeys you can display the current wi-fi signal strength to yourself and everyone around you with this stylish Wi-Fi Detector Shirt. The glowing bars on the front of the shirt dynamically change as the surrounding wi-fi signal strength fluctuates. Finally you can get the attention you deserve as others bow to you as their reverential wi-fi god, while geeky chicks swoon at your presence. You can thank us later.
FEATURES:
- Glowing animated shirt dynamically displays the current wi-fi signal strength.
- Shows signal strength for 802.11b or 802.11g
- Black 100% Cotton T-Shirt
- Animated Decal is Removable (with hook and loop fasteners) for Easy Washing
- Runs for hours off three AAA Batteries (not included)

5.0 out of 5 stars
So much fun, November 18, 2007
By Lauren Love
People for some reason don't know what this is. Personally, it makes me happy because they don't and I do. I love this shirt. The batteries are a little annoying but you can just wear another shirt under it (or a bra) and you won't even notice them.I bought one for my boyfriend, and he loves it. After all, who wants to go through the annoying process of turning on a computer to find a wi-fi network?
T-Shirt Comes in 5 sizes:
Small

X-Large
