We have 10 new shirts inspired by video games, movies, TV shows, comics, Japanese fandom, retro computing, pulp fiction (lowercase), fantasy, chemistry, physics, and astronomy. There's a polo shirt, a work shirt, and a babydoll in the mix. For those who hanker for color, we have a couple of reds, two different greys, pink, navy blue, and, of course, a smattering of black as per usual. Check it out. http://www.thinkgeek.com/newshirts/20100223.shtml | | Universal Network Cable - The only patch cable you'll ever need | Attention boss people. Do you know why your IT department is overworked and stressed? It's because every time they need a patch cable, they have to dig through a giant tangle of every type of cable in existence until they find the right one. That's a lot of wasted hours and wasted money! Now, we know that Systems Administrator Appreciation Day doesn't come until July, but think of this--with a Universal Network Cable, your IT monkeys can justand connect anything they want to patch in seconds. They'll be happy monkeys, which means they'll probably come fix your printer now. http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/c890/ | Otamatone Electronic Instrument - Make the funky note sing | Get ready for an instrument like no other. The Otamatone is most definitely unique. Straight from Japan, this black music note has a strip down the stem and a rubbery note face. All you have to do is move or slide your finger up and down the stem tothe pitch. And squeeze the note's cheeks to get its mouthfor some some crazy wah-wah or gentle vibrato effects. Three pitch levels and two volume levelsNaturally, the choice is yours, and tools were made to make the process simple. Our staplers and tape dispensers, though, are partially transparent to show you precisely how the process of ejecting bent wire "staples" and clear cellophane "tape" is done. Be careful: you may find the actions of these gadgetsKnown as headhoppers or even headhumpers, the headcrab is a dangerous beastie and not one you want to encounter. Lucky you have me, mate! I've spent my life learning about headcrabs and I know how to handle 'em so they are nice and docile... don't do this at home, kids... http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/plush/a9d5/ | | High Fashion Headphones - Stylish, functional, colorful skull thumpers! | Now that our telephones have started performing double-duty as our music players, it seems everybody's got their headphones on all the time. They've become so ubiquitous, they're now de facto fashion accessories! Form has trumped function, though, and that's sad. What you need are good-sounding headphones with excellent features that also fit your wardrobe. Naturally, we've got you covered. These "cans" feature great sound, cloth cords, remote switches and built-in microphones for you iPhone, Android, and Nokia fans out there. Plus, they come in six delicious colors... just don't eat them. That would be silly. http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/speakers/headsets/d226/ | Portal Companion Cube Fuzzy Dice - Keep them with you forever | Straight from the Vital Apparatus Vent come the Weighted Companion Cube Fuzzy Dice. They will accompany you on road trips and generally be adorable and squishy. We expect you will take care of them while they are in your possession. The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube Fuzzy Dice cannot speak, threaten you, or stab you. (That paranoia you feel is totally normal.) In the event that the Weighted Companion Cube Fuzzy Dice do speak, we urge you to disregard their advice, especially if said advice pertains to the location of the nearest bakery. Keep your eyes on the road, friends. http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/plush/d0e4/ | | Icon High-powered LED Flashlights - Scary-bright | There's darkness, and you must attack it. What do you do? Most brave adventurers would immediately think to cast their Magic Missile at the darkness, but nay! We have a better solution. The Icon LED Flashlight can crank out up to 100 lumens of radiance with just theof a button. Silence frogs, stun lizards, break up raccoon fights, jog at night, and tell kickass ghost stories. Just don't blind yourself, k? http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/lights/d04e/ | Drivemocion EX Series LED Car Sign - Tell 'em what you really think! | How many times have you wanted to give another driver a piece of your mind and found hand gestures woefully ineffective? Affix the Drivemocion to your rear window, grab the remote, and be ready for clear communication! Apologize for your poor driving skills, tell that speedster to BACK OFF before you slam on the brakes, make goo-goo heart eyes at the hottie in the convertible behind you.

And even though some of you younger monkeys weren't alive when the movie Alien came out in 1979, we know you monster connoisseurs still have it in your top five. This figure measures a whopping 22" when it's standing upright, but with its bendy tail and points of articulation in the neck, jaw, shoulders, elbows, chest, knees, and ankles, we know you'll find way more terrifying ways of posing this bad boy. Detailed enough to be a display piece, but sturdy enough to be a toy, this figure is a must have for any die-hard Alien fan. http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/collectibles/d0ff/ | Evel Knievel Mini Pull Bike - 70s classic is back... only smaller | If you were alive during the 1970s then you probably remember the Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle made by Ideal. If you didn't own one of these crazy crank-based toy motorcycles yourself, you probably knew someone who did. Either way the TV commercial seemed to play every five minutes during Fat Albert tempting you with "gyro action" as Evel managed all sorts of crazy jumps and stunts with a perfect landing every time. Decades later ThinkGeek is offering a pocket size version of the same classic stunt cycle complete with (you guessed it) "gyro action." Take one home and create a death-defying jump on your desk to rival the Caesars Palace fountain. http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/rc/cd53/ | | Submit Your Techie Haiku, Win $50!

Use the Force... to store data ################################## Yes. There are a lot of novelty USB thumbdrive designs out there. We've seen sushi, robots, cats... even a fake thumb. However, few have encouraged us to actually get out our wallets. But finally we have found something worthy: Japanese Lightsaber USB Thumbdrives. These drives look like Star Wars lightsabers. Pop off the cap, jack them into your USB port and they glow with the power of the force (or electricity and some LEDs). Choose from Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader. Both are fully licensed Lucasfilm collectables imported from Japan.
