Stuff Geeks Want

Any geek is a true collector of action figures and other toys that help them remember their youth. Especially if we’re talking Marvel Comics.

What self respecting geek wouldn’t totally want to own their very own Marvel Comics’ Iron Man Mask?

Leave it to Disguise (via Amazon of course) to take care of you if you’re an adult, as they’ve got to have the coolest Iron Man mask (they’re calling it a “helmet”) we can find. The Helmet measures 10-inches long x 9-inches wide, with a depth of 10 1/2-inches. Fits sizes from large to extra large, with a maximum of 24-inches in circumference. $99.99, and you can have one just for yourself.

Don’t forget to pair that Iron Man Mask with a great Iron Man “vest” T-shirt, if you’re planning on going as Iron Man for Halloween. Start working out now though, if you think you’ll want to have all of your bulges and curves in the right place… and no 12 ounce curls don’t count guys. $28 from Amazon.com.

And you can top off your Iron Man fixation with a cute little Iron Man bobblehead doll, from 80sTees.com for $15.

Lastly, if you’re looking for Iron Man masks for real kids, turn to Factory Card and Party Outlet, as they’re offering Iron Man party masks for kids at around $5 for 8. They also have just about anything else you might want, for a kids Iron Man themed birthday party, for sure.

The One Laptop Per Child initiative is an awesome undertaking, and one we support wholeheartedly.

Any program that has a mission like “To provide children around the world with new opportunities to explore, experiment and express themselves” is something we can definitely get behind, which is why back in November, we signed up to “Give a laptop” to a child in the third-world, and as a bonus, we got one for ourselves.

We have a three-year old in the house who started playing with his new OLPC this past weekend, and while he’s still a little young for it, we’re confident that he’ll grow into this “child’s laptop” about the time his Dad outgrows it. If you have a few dollars to spare, we’d highly recommend supporting this cause with your donation, as we can tell the thought and care that went into designing the OLPC will set this program up for success well into the future.
