What you see here is the “Geek Hand Sign” T-shirt by British designer Roger Denyer. Roger designed the shirt so you could demand some respect from your fellow geeks. If you are a web developer or coder use this sign and you’ll get a nod of respect from your fellow computer geeks.

Or maybe you will once and for all prove the world how incredibly geeky you really are.

Either way, the shirts are for sale at RubyRed T-shirt Design for €21,46 (that isn’t a random price of course but a number that only real geeks understand the meaning of) in a variety of colors.

If you are a REAL geek you will have to ask your sister which color will look good with your zits and pimples.

The most geeky tattoo, ever.

Wonder where it says <small></small>…

The most geeky tattoo, ever.

What other lame HTML Tattoo jokes can you come up with? Yeah, throw in some PHP, CSS and Javascript while you are at it.

Could it be that we pissed off someone somewhere recently on this blog? It certainly seems so.

In the last 2 days Zee’s email accounts and my Twitter account have been hacked. Zee is still working on fixing his stuff.

I was able to change my Twitter password pretty fast and take back control over the account. Unfortunately the hackers haven’t given up. This is what Twitter told me this morning:

Looks like your account was compromised and then suspended. I show multiple login attempts.

After that I received a new password (64 character hexadecimal) which won’t be easy to guess. But you can imagine my surprise when I logged into Twitter yesterday evening and saw this:

My Twitter account is suspended?

Unfortunately Zee is still locked out of some of his emailaccounts. I hope the damage stays limited to Twitter and email but if you see something out of the ordinary here at The Next Web blog do let us know.

Camouflage for Photoshop Users

This could be the ultimate in camouflage for geeks – an ‘erased torso’ t-shirt – available to buy.

Personally, I just can’t see why it’s so appealing. (That was a gag, but you might have missed it.) Can’t see. Missed it. Geddit? I’ve seen enough invisible gags, thanks. – Ed.

Question: With Valentines Day tomorrow. What are the best geeky love gifts you have given or received?

With the advent of computers and the web, I adore making the use of desktop applications, scanners, web services and basically anything tech orientated for gifts. Not only is it more fun, but it’s easier, you learn quite a bit about a particular piece of software and on top of all that – it will often make you look pretty good!

So what gifts have you given which have made the use of technology? 

I’m happy to go first as long as you follow!

Question: With Valentines Day tomorrow. What are the best geeky love gifts you have given or received?

1. A Timeline of her life.

Using AOL’s CircaVie, which has recently shut dow, I made a timeline of my partners life from birth until now including all the “love-dovey” stuff we did together in between. The beauty of it is that we then spend time every few weeks, adding to it which was a date in itself.

We did end up moving the timeline over to Capzles who offer a similar service.

The other gift which went down a storm was a photomosaic poster I made which had about a hundred different photos of us and our families – all fitted together perfectly to form one large poster of us. We still have the poster in one of the rooms of our home and it still looks good.

For a wonderful review of various photomosaic applications, click here.
