Forget vintage Prada, you have got to be seen carrying this purse. I found this sleek and chic Diskette Purse (with a total of twelve 1.44 MB computer disks for a total of 17.28 MB of memory) for sale at Fractal Spin. I’m not sure this is the hardest hand-bag to throw together, but I love it.

PC EZ-Bake Oven
This is taking geeky baked goods to an entirely new level. This is a new and incredibly geek-tastic twist on an old favorite–The EZ-Bake Oven. The PC EZ-Bake Oven isn’t satisfied at merely looking geekier than its child’s-toy counterpart, it must be the geekiest oven you’ve ever seen. This PC EZ-Bake Oven actually fits into your spare 5 1/4″ drive bay, and works on your computer’s power source!
Now, you literally never have to leave your computer again (until you need to pee). The PC mod, available at Think Geek comes with replacement bulbs, a few mixes (including a caffeinated meat loaf!) and a recipe book with “office friendly” recipes such as duck sauce tarts and non-dairy creamer creme brulee. Perfect blend of nostalgia, functionality, and geekiness.
EDIT: I was just informed that this was an April Fool’s joke by Think Geek (too good to be true!). I apologize for posting it as a “real” item!
Binary Code Love Pendant
I just found this sweet yet geeky pendant on Etsy from seller melissajlee. She hand-formed the pendant and added a resin heart. As of this post, it’s available to purchase.
Unrelated, check out the article Gamers’ Sugar High on forbes.com by Geek Craft reader and freelance writer Bonnie Ruberg. Geek Crafts is mentioned and there are some other links that you would all enjoy.
Memory Card Memory Book
I just found this adorable book by Craftster user boadicea. She used two old memory cards as covers and bound her pages with jump rings. I love tiny things!
Katamari Computer Monitor Cat Bed
Inez Hernandez submitted this Computer Monitor Cat Bed to us and I am just in love with it. She used a few basic crafty skills, namely; spray painting, modge podge, some feathers and rhinestones, and of course, a little fleece for her kitty to sleep on! This is one creative way to re-use an old monitor and spoil a well deserving kitty at the same time. The cat’s name is “Katamuri”, so Inez used characters from the Katamari Damacy video game to personalize her kitty’s new suite.
