Five totally awesome ways to geek up your place

As I move out from home and make the transition into the working world, I’ve been finding myself increasingly looking at some awesome “home stuff” that I would normally never even notice. 

I’ve put together a list of some awesome ways to “geek up” a condo, while keeping your own style.

Without further adu:

iOS app coasters

I’ve been looking for these coasters for a couple years now. They are the real deal. Another company offers a smaller, lower quality offering, but they don’t measure up the ones pictured below.

Where to buy: I have no idea! If you do, please email me at hiconnor [at] me [dot] com.


Slide to Unlock doormat

It’s cool, it looks good, and it’s functional. Awesome.

You should probably keep this inside the door, because I know I would steal it if my neighbor has this.

Where to buy: $49 available at Meninos.


Ctrl + Alt + Delete pillows

These were featured on Two and a Half Men apparently. I really like them.

Personally, however, I’d get these ones instead.

Where to buy: $55 set of 3, both Mac and PC, available at Etsy.


Magnet Key Holder

Magnetic key holders are nothing new, but this magnet key holder is definitely an eye-catcher. Install it near the door on a dark accent wall and you’re set.

Where to buy: $49 available at Meninos.


Ctrl + Alt + Delete cups

Out of the five items I’ve featured here, this would be my least favorite, but nevertheless, they’re still pretty good. Looking like keys from a keyboard when upside down, these cups are perfect for a morning pot of coffee.

Where to buy: $19 set of 3 available at Brando.

My issue with Words with Friends*

*The Facebook version. I have no problem with their iOS app. It’s great.

I’d rather not spam my Facebook friends with every god damn action from Word with Friends. So I turned off the application’s ability to post to my Facebook Timeline. All good, right? Wrong.

When I go to play a game, however, it gives me this message. Zynga is using a ‘best game experience’ to mask this blatant disregard of privacy rights.

And that’s not right.

Just brilliant work. Change matters.

Here’s a lovely student piece, scooped from http://www.studentadfinds.com/. There was no description attached, so I don’t know if these were intended to be handed out as flyers or what. No matter. It’s a great idea that very efficiently tells us that at Taco Bell, your loose change is enough to get you fed.
