When Cufflinks & Weblinks Collide
In general I think if’s fair to say that us I.T Professionals are a pretty casual bunch. We’d rather be slobbing around in a t-shirt and jeans than wearing a shirt and tie.
But sometimes you just need to dress up. Perhaps you’re selling your Ajaxified Web2.0 app to Yahoo or begging a VC for a couple of mill.
It’s good to know that when you don that starchy white collar you can still allow a small measure of your inner geek to shine through, so today I present to you the top geekworthy cufflinks from around the net:
5. Robot Cufflinks
First up are these robot bad boys from Cufflinks.com. On the back side is a little wrench. Definately got a "Calling Will Robinson" vibe to it.
4. Computer Keys
If you’re looking for something a bit more understated these computer keys are pretty nice. Pick this pair up from Cufflinksworld.com although you can find similar cufflinks at most online stores.
3. Fractalspin
Next on our tour is this classy black pair of microprocessor cufflinks from fractalspin
2. iKuffs
I think these iKuffs did the internet rounds last year but in case you missed them then these are the perfect pair for you mac crowd.
1. USB Cufflinks
Finally, and in my eyes the clear champion, we have these USB cufflinks from toniawelter.de. No need to explain how completely cool these things are. Sadly still in prototype form but will be offered with up to 1GB memory. Only problem will be your shirt flapping about linkless when you actually use the thing.
Of course this is just the tip of the nerdy cufflink iceberg. All the big sites like cufflinks.com have a tech related section but these are my personal faves. If you’ve found any others you think are particulary geeky feel free to suggest them in the comments
