Pacman quilt
More in the “I’m a big geeky loser” category – a quilt I’d love to have, just to show how much geekier I am than everyone who visits me (well, they actually visit my wife – I have no friends in the real world).

Q-Bert earrings
Just because I am a big, geeky loser. I want some of these.

Video and voice over IP
Sure, it’s almost $300, but that price will come down, and rather quickly, I bet. It’s a 5.6 inch color LCD and phone that works over IP.

Smart fridge magnets make poetry
From Engadget. Here is a set of refridgerator magnets made up of a 16 character LCD display. The magnets can recognize what other parts of speech are nearby and adjust themselves to make poetry without user interaction. And if you don’t like what comes up, you can shake a magnet to change its word.
As you compose a poem, placing words in grammatical order, the magnets communicate with each other to learn the grammar rules you are using.
Once they are ‘trained’, the magnets can change the words they are displaying to substitute words that don’t fit the established grammar rules, like an autocorrect function.
