Ever wonder if certain social networking sites could be broken down into more simpler terms? Or in Despair Wears case, more sad pathetic terms?

Well here you go. Poor guy, I think he needs a hug.

If your dreams get a bit too graphic, cuddle close with a new Adobe pillow. With a full set, you’ll never have to rasterbate alone again.

A new category for defensive clothing

Bullet  proof bra, now that’s not something I thought I would type but the BBC is reporting that a 57 old woman from Detroit was saved by her bra from getting shot. The underwire deflected the bullet shot at her by a teenage gang who were breaking into the house next door and saw her through the window. The victim sustained injuries but was saved from serious injury through luck and a strong underwire.

Sgt Eren Stephens Bell told the Detroit News:

“We need to get some bulletproof vests made from that. It is some strong wire.”

The woman is said to recovering well from her ordeal. For the rest of us, maybe we should all start wearing underwired bras? I know people with moobs could sure use them!

Have a need to game on-the-go? Typical portable gaming options too tame? Jeri of FatManAndCircuitGirl (a prototyping and hacks video blog) has her own spin on Geek Chique.

Using a flat panel screen, two Nintendo controllers, a purse, and her own custom circuit hacks she has created the Nintendo/C64 Purse! FMCG’s site provides a weekly show that covers many other interesting bits (no pun intended) of circuit bending and warranty breaking fun.

Check out her overview below:

Last Saturday, Jinx invited Jannica to do a photoshoot for their Spring 2009 catalog.  But Jannica needed a ride up to the Jinx Fortress.  Being that it was an official Jinx photoshoot, i said “OF COURSE!!!!”  When we got there, we were greeted by the super cool Kino and given the grand tour of the fortress.  Let me just say that this place was amazing.  I couldn’t stop smiling and feeling like a little boy with a golden ticket to tour one of his favorite factories.

Each office was filled with action figure collectibles, posters, and toys.  The game room had every next gen console (and a Wii  =P  ).  The office environment was like being in gamer heaven.  Fun geeky people, video games and toys.  What more could one ask for?

Big thanks to Kino, Zac, Sean and the rest of the J!NX crew for the warm welcome and food.

Also, Hi to Jessica Chobot =D

Introducing an idea that has already been done by other companies and resold at many retailers.  Mainly, Hot Topic.  No doubt you have browsed your local Hot Topic and seen a belt just like the photo above.  But what is different about this particular belt is the fact that they are selling the belt with an actual NES controller.  If you’re really a video game geek that loves to show off much you are in tune with the roots of video games, then this might be for you.  They also have a belt with an actual SNES controller.

Go check out the official online store and check it out or just get yourself a tattoo like Nicky.

Tanooki Suit! (w/ ears)

Over the weekend, I went shopping with some friends. The whole day, nothing interested me. I just kept following my GF and friends around. But then, at the corner of my eye, I spotted it. The best jacket, imo, EVAR!

After purchasing it, I felt kinda TOO geeky but at the same time proud.  Which made me wonder, what geek/nerd/gamer apparel do you wear outdoors or to work that is SUPER geeky/nerdy/gamer that you are not afraid or ashamed to wear?

Either Brazilian designer, Lucia Loria, has a significant other that ALWAYS needed to know where she was at any given point in time, or she really had good intentions. Introducing the worlds first Lingerie bikini bottom equipped with GPS. Why? I don’t know. Her thoughts were “It’s not a modern chastity belt, but instead could become a lifesaver, as a safety device on a night out.”

Riiiight.
