Militant Geek Custom Shirts

Valentine’s Day is coming and love is in the geekified air in the offices of Militant Geek! Monday through Thursday I’ll be bringing you the best Geek wearables that say “I love you… and your brain.”

And so our special Valentine’s Geek Apparel Week comes to an end, but not before peaking with the ultimate in geek love adornment: a binary wedding band. How does it work? From the description by the greenKarat store:

On the Binary rings, there are 5 parallel tracks running around the ring, each track representing a digit in the binary lexicon. The track is engraved for 1 and left blank for 0. In this way, the five lines of engraving which progress around the ring spell out, in combination, your personalized message…. Your message may contain up to 20 characters.

Only 20 characters eh? Possible missives to your matrimonial mi amor may include:

• We 2 play co-op 4evr
• I Can Haz Marriage?!
• UR base R Belong 2Me
• <3 U! BFF! Now STFU!

Why I don’t work for Hallmark is beyond me.

What is Russia’s greatest gift to the west? Is it parastroka? Neyt. TaTu? Getting warmer. Vodka? Close there comrade but for most geeks the greatest gift given from the motherland was Tetris. Alexey Pajitnov originally designed the game in June 1985 while working for the Dorodnicyn Computing Centre of the Academy of Science in Moscow. Little did he know that he had unlocked the puzzle to gamer’s hearts everywhere.

The Penny Arcade store celebrates this milestone in pulmonary pwnage for $17.99.

As a famous movie priest once said “Lub, true Lub”. And that’s what your princess bride will be saying when she sees this wonderful mathematical take on modern romance. Of course, one side is significantly more complex than the other despite evaluating to the same amount. Could one side be female and the other male, per chance? Me thinketh so.

‘Infinite Love’ is computed at Nuda Tees starting at $12.

I really have no idea why artificial intelligence is so hard. As this shirt clearly demonstrates, all you have to do to make Johnny Five come alive is throw a ticker in its chest. Then it will fall in love with that shy, yet attractive girl who eventually leaves with the high school quarterback. At that point it will go into a homicidal rage because -get this- we have given it the capacity to feel but not the understanding to forgive. Which was, incidentally, the plot of Weekend at Bernies 7, I think. (I’ll have to get back to you on that.)

Forlorn robot by way of Threadless.com. For those with reproductive apparatuses of the outer variety this shirt costs $15. It’s $17 if its an innee.

Love is like a many pointed thing, full of sprockets and bearings that must be kept in fine condition to prevent the entire enterprise from coming to a screeching halt. Cogs are to be oiled. Calibrations adjusted. Flux capacitors charged. In short, it’s work. Amorphia Apparel, the brains behind the Think Science store recently featured on Militant Geek, understand this. Their Gear Heart tees start at $14.99 and can be ordered from their product page.

For those that haven’t yet seen this shirt on scads of sites on the series of tubes a quick recap: the hearts are an homage to video game characters. When you’re close to your special someone all the hearts light up. The farther away the pair of tees are from each other the fewer hearts light up.

This shirt is extremely frustrating to me because it should have been fantastic: proximity sensors, illuminated leds, and high quality, geek-friendly black fabric. However, the implementation is lacking. First, the shirt is completely worthless if you don’t have a second person who agrees to wear a matching outfit (heading to the store in matching sweats is lame but nobody will notice - but here the blinking hearts only highlight your co-dependence). Second, unless you’re within two meters of your significant other all the electronic gewgaws you paid for don’t do a thing. Third, what happens if you split with the person who has the other half of this shirt? I mean, geez, its not like a kid that you can just share; these things come in fitted sizes people!

However, if that’s not enough to dissuade you the 8 bit dynamic life shirt is available from Think Geek (Affiliate Link, Non-Affiliate Link) for between $11.99-$24.99. Remember, get a pair. Or just buy one shirt and a transmitter pack. But that isn’t very romantic now, is it?

Ever wonder what hardware does for romance? Ever contemplate the subtle eroticism of ‘male’ and ‘female’ cable termination naming conventions? Ever hypothesize that you had too much time on your hands? Well, the folks at Go Ape can help with the first two questions with this intimate ‘While the Kids are in Standby Mode…’

The shirts are available from Go Ape Shirts for $18. Discovered via TCritic.

Regular expression make handling strings fast. So fast, in fact, that they could be thought of as sharing properties with a certain overnight shipping service. As seen in this shirt from ‘Not a Shop’, RegEx is a completely apt corporate parody, even if it is a bit on the steep side at $20.

So, watching the results stream in this evening has been a bit of a disappointment. There’s no clear cut winners, nothing has been settled, and we’re in for more bickering, name calling, and annoying stumping. Yep, that’s right - the writer’s strike is still on (despite progress). They’re still not making new TV - so we’re stuck with this election stuff.

So until they get my sitcoms sorted out here’s a TShirt for Steve Jobs. Sure, a black mock turtleneck would be much more appropriate. But for $17 dollars its a reasonable way to show folks where your dollar vote goes. Get yours from Insanely Great Tees. Via Valleywag.

TODAY IS THE DAY! By this evening 20+ states will have (hopefully) narrowed down the field of candidates and further determined just who we’ll be completely sick of come November. However, as you head to the polls I offer up a lesser know ticket for your consideration: Mario-Luigi in 2008. Why Mario?

• Mario has extensive experience besting Koopa based terrorism
• Peach as first lady would be the logical heir to the Kennedy Camelot legacy
• Luigi, having played 2nd fiddle for decades, is uniquely prepared for a vice presidency
