Who said geeks don't have a good fashion sense? We do... kinda...

USB Flash Drive Cufflinks

by cwhitmore | Posted May 26th, 2010 at 8:19 pm

As we’ve said before, geeks like fashion too and though these aren’t Transformer cufflinks, their pretty damn cool. Each of these USB Flash Drive Cufflinks ($200) house a mini 2GB flash drive , giving you 4GB of fashionable storage.  You can get this techi-bling in three styles; polished, gunmetal or gold (for all you gangstas).

Mr. Jones Cyclops Watch

by cwhitmore | Posted March 24th, 2010 at 8:20 pm

So I’ve got a thing for watches and this Special Edition Black Mr Jones Cyclops ($184) is hot!  Instead of the traditional minute hands this guy has a hoop that eclipses circles that represent the hours. The special edition version features a black stainless steel case with warm gray minute markers and a red marker.  I’ll be adding this one to my wish list.

Reuse your bike tires, make a belt

by cwhitmore | Posted March 3rd, 2010 at 8:20 pm

Cool idea to make a Bicycle Tire Belt($30) from a used(recycled) bike tire.

“This tire was rescued from the trash after a tire change at the bike shop. It has little use to it and the tread is barely showing any wear.” Backing is black rubber. Belt is 1-3/4 inches wide, buckle is nickel plated steel.

Welder K24 Watch

by cwhitmore | Posted March 3rd, 2010 at 11:04 am

The Welder K24 Watch ($1,350) is a beast.  It’s got some hardcore industrial looks, a sturdy matte steel body, and mammoth 50mm face. The K24 features large markers at the 10 and 2 points, with submarkers for every five minutes in between, oversized white main dial hands, three sub-dials with red hands, a black rubber strap with a butterfly buckle, a JS55 Miyota movement, and water resistance down to 100 meters.

I’m digging the stopwatch button look too.

The US 2010 World Cup Jersey by Nike [I Want!]

by cwhitmore | Posted March 1st, 2010 at 11:38 pm

Who’s ready for the World Cup?  I am!  We’ve shown you the Adidas Jabulani, the official ball for 2010 but to get you a little more pumped, here’s the US 2010 World Cup Jersey by Nike ($70).  The jersey is retro in style refrencing the 1950 World Cup match versus England.  Some of it’s new features are Nike Sphere Dry and Dri-FIT technology, an embroidered US team badge and a big ass Nike logo.

Now I want to go to South Africa…

Best Controller Shirt EVER! [Tuesday Tees]

by cwhitmore | Posted February 9th, 2010 at 12:00 pm

I usually don’t have really pricey t-shirts for our Tuesday Tees series but this German made Controller Shirt ($42) was just too classy.  I can look at this three different ways…

1. Directions for geeks
2. Proof that Play Station taught me valuable life lessons.
3. This is how you control women… I mean the cord does go to her head.

The new Nixon watches are killer!

by cwhitmore | Posted January 27th, 2010 at 4:04 pm

I love watches and the new Spring and Summer collection by Nixon is no exception.  I really like the new 51-30 PU ($370). They have used bright orange  as the key color so it PoPs out at you.  I also think its cool that the knobs are on the left as opposed to right and the silicone band lets it dress down for those summer days that need to get here soon.  I’m done with the cold.  Done I say!

The Dive Bar Shirt Club [Tuesday Tees]

by cwhitmore | Posted January 26th, 2010 at 9:48 am

I’m a huge fan of dive bars and beer… cause thats what they sell at dive bars.  Anyway  as you may or may not know here at Freakn’ Sweet we like to share some our favorite t-shirts with you on Tuesday (Tuesday Tees) and this week is a special treat, it’s a club!  The Dive Bar Shirt Club to be exact.  This is such a genius idea actually.  This special team of beer lovers travel around and find the best dive bars with the best shirts.  You can enter the club and be a cool kid for $20/month and then you’ll receive a new shirt every month from a random watering hole.

I don’t know if they have it but my favorite dive is The Glory Hole in Camdenton, MO.  No joke, it’s next to “Well Hung Windows” and it’s on the road to “Climax Springs”  Here’s a picture below, round windows and all.
