ThinkGeek
ThinkGeek is an online shopping haven for anyone after bizarre contraptions and novelties for tech-heads and geeks. In their own words, ThinkGeek started as
“a simple idea to create and sell stuff that would appeal to the thousands of people out there who were on the front line and in the trenches as the Internet was forged. From programmers, engineers, students, lovers of open source, to the masses that helped create the behind-the-scenes Internet culture.”
The company is based in America but they ship to Australia and are very reliable and prompt with international and domestic deliveries.
They’ve got an amazing collection of geeky related toys, gadgets and trinkets that are guaranteed to a novel gift idea for anyone who’s got everything. Items can be sorted by price range or a specific category. For more regular visitors they’ve got a Think Geek rewards program and its not too hard to clock up the points for a quirky addition to your order.
These are a few items currently selling at ThinkGeek
Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard
An amazing glimpse of this promised future has just arrived at ThinkGeek in the form of the Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard. This tiny device laser-projects a keyboard on any flat surface... you can then type away accompanied by simulated key click sounds. It really is true future magic at its best. You'll be turning heads the moment you pull this baby from your pocket and use it to compose an e-mail on your bluetooth enabled PDA or Cell Phone. With 63 keys and and full size QWERTY layout the Laser Virtual Keyboard can approach typing speeds of a standard keyboard... in a size a little larger than a matchbook.
