Posted on by

Towels in the kitchen. Where do you put them? Some people put them on the oven handle, other’s on the fridge handle. But what if you don’t have a handle on your fridge door? That’s where these Stick ‘Em Magnet towels come in handy.

You don’t want your towel to end up on the floor, but in the kitchen that is a serious possibility. The Full Circle Stick ‘Em Magnet Kitchen Towel will attach itself to the fridge so that it’s always handy.

They say that it’s super soft, absorbent, and the best news is that it will cost you around $12(USD). Why sew a magnet onto your own towel, when you can just buy one? Who needs the extra work? This handy towel will make life easier.

Take Your Game Boy to the Beach Without Worrying About Getting Sand in It

Posted on by

Whether you’re Game Boy or a Game Girl, you need a new beach towel. You know you do. Especially if it looks like this. Inspired by the classic Nintendo Game Boy, ThinkGeek’s Beach Boy towel is the perfect thing for geeks having fun in the sun.

Of course, looks are about where the similarities with an actual Game Boy diverge. Not only does this thing not play games, it won’t fit in your pocket either. Still, it’s pretty great, and you don’t have to worry about getting this Game Boy wet or full of sand while playing a round of Beachtris.

So slather on a bottle or two of lotion and head on over to ThinkGeek, where you can get the Beach Boy/Game Boy towel for $19.99(USD).

WalkBag is a Bag and Beach Towel in One

Posted on by

WalkBag

Summer is fast approaching. Whether it’s a trip to the beach, a picnic, or even a camping trip, it’s time to get your gear ready for whatever activities you’ve got lined up. You should add the WalkBag to your list. It’s a bag that’s also a towel at the same time, so you can use it to carry your essentials and whatever stuff you need.

When you’ve found the perfect spot, just empty it and pull it inside out to transform it into a beach towel or picnic blanket. It also has a sleeve on one end where you can insert an inflatable or makeshift pillow for added comfort.

The WalkBag retails for €39.95 (or about $53).

Geeky Hand Towels: Cleanliness is Next to Geekiness

Posted on by

Etsy seller Elizabeth Dean’s hand towels are embroidered with icons from classic videogames and sci-fi franchises, including Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda and Doctor Who. They’re great for tidying up the occasional geekgasm. Actually I don’t know what that’s like and I don’t want to know.

Just look at that Kirby hand towel. How can anyone resist that face? Plus it probably gets bigger as it gets wetter. I’m sorry I meant it gets bigger as you use it. Dammit lets just look at the pictures!

You can order the hand towels from Elizabeth’s Etsy shop Seams Geeky for $10 to $13 (USD) each. That Star Trek towel will go where no towel has gone before. I’m going to stop now.

Memorize Pi While You Drink, Cook and Eat

Posted on by

Mathematics geeks will often use the number of digits of Pi they can remember as a measure of pride. While I might be able to get as far as 3.141592653589793, that’s about where I lose it. But with these special drinking glasses, I bet I’d be able to recite 100 digits in no time.

TheUncommonGreen’s Pi series is printed several hundred digits of the mathematical constant – which for those of you who flunked math class is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Duh.

There’s a Pi pint glass ($36/pair), a Pi rocks glass ($36/pair) and a Pi shot glass ($20/each), so you can even memorize digits while you get drunk. I’m not sure how much those Pi coasters go for, though. And if you want to keep working on your math while you cook dinner, there’s a matching Pi kitchen towel.

And when your guests arrive, you can help them learn Pi too, while they cut the cheese on this Pi plate ($55).

But my favorite of the Pi series won’t help me memorize its digits at all – but it will help me drink more beer – and that’s the Pi bottle opener ($45).

Star Trek Beach Towels: Beach Me up, Scotty.

Posted on by

I was going to say something about “lotion me up” in the title of this post, but then the thought of Scotty rubbing his hands all over me with suntan lotion made me throw up a little bit in my mouth. Even though I can’t get that image out of my mind, I still absolutely love these Star Trek beach towels.

These large (60″ x 29″) cotton beach towels are perfect for showing everyone on the beach just how much of a Trekkie you really are. They’re available in Command Gold, Science Blue and Ops/Security Red versions, complete with appropriate Federation insignia. I think I’ll stick with the blue one, and I’m definitely avoiding the red shirt as I’m betting anyone who wears one will be devoured by a shark while sitting under their umbrella sipping a pina colada, or at least stung by a jellyfish.
