NB’s Closet makes awesome laser cut jewelry perfect for just about any nerd. Some standouts include necklaces featuring dual NES Zappers, the Power Glove, a crazy-faced Game Boy, a chainsaw, and Casio Sk-1 & VL-Tone keyboards. There’s a bunch of different colors available for each design as well; so if a baby blue Power Glove isn’t your thing, you can always opt for a color that better suits your manliness.
They also make rings, dog tags, and… fish bowl covers — talk about random. But you should totally check out their bargain section for things like Game Boy cell phone charms and keychains, NES controller charms, and for the chiptuners out there, they even have LSDJ necklace charms (currently sold out) and stencils!
And best of all, everything is dirt cheap! The necklaces only go as high as $10 and the most expensive thing in bargain bin is a mere $3.
Oh yeah, and you also get a free cock ring with every order.

Thretris is a chiptune musician and console customizer (previously featured for his NES mods) who’s whipped up this extra sexy custom keyboard for use with the LSDJ tracking program for the Game Boy. They keyboard lets you actually play each note rather than having to program each note by hand within LSDJ.
The overall paint job on this is killer and the modding process doesn’t even seem all that hard. Thretris has an easy-to-follow tutorial which you can find right here.
If any of you out there are curious about making chiptunes of your own, I highly recommend bookmarking Thretris’s blog. There’s a heap of valuable resources totally worth checking out.

This set of stickers replaces letters on your keyboard with amusingly charming designs by Christopher Monro DeLorenzo. Instead of the letter “C” you’ll see a Yeti. Instead of the letter “S” you’ll see a skull.
Or instead of the letter “B” you’ll see the head of Mr. David Bowie…

From the artist:
We used to learn our alphabets by reading those classroom banners that associated each letter with an animal or object. These days as kids become increasingly computer dependent at an early age I thought it was about time to adapt an old method to a new medium.
From cultural icons to Greek mythology, this keyboard sticker set will advance the alphabetical knowledge of any child, or adult.
