Just a little Link

Who isn’t addicted to the Legend of Zelda? It has worked its way into the ranks of Best Video Game Ever list. Link has slashed his way through countless enemies and into the hearts of many of us. While doing a bit of geeky research earlier today, I found an etsy shop that is sure to please any Zelda lover.

Grandma Thunderpants! has an amazing collection of poly clay creations including this Link necklace. Give her etsy shop a look for some incredible creations!

Keeping Geeks Warm!

Keeping Geeks Warm! It’s not hard to realize that no matter what kind of geek you are, whatever you do involves using your hands and fingers at some point.  Whether it’s typing away on a keyboard, working a game controller, or creating something in craft or art, use of the hands and fingers ends up being involved.  That’s why it’s important to take good care of your hands and keep them warm.

Gayla Oglesby has come up with the perfect pair of mittens for your geek of the binary nature.  While designed to appeal to the programmer and Linux lover, these Geek Mittens are geeky enough for anyone to want to wear.  She even provides the chart for them here.

The Sacred Order of Geeks Infographic

sacred orders of geek

The Best Colleges Online has posted an infographic entitled The Sacred Order of Geeks that mentions various types of geek like Apple Geek, Star Wars Geek, Film Geek and… wait for it… Craft Geek. It describes a Craft Geek as:

  • Calls televisions “picture boxes”
  • Can knit from zero to bivouac in 6.8 seconds
  • Is on a first-name basis with the staff at Jo-Ann Fabrics and Home Depot

I’ve no idea what the television comment means or has to do with us crafty geeks. What do you think in general about this infographic?

Now you can dress up as Princess Leia without using 3 tins of hairspray, WINNING!
