And totally geek.

It seems this guy, Mark Hoekstra, a self-described “professional hobbyist, maker or hardware hacker”, had a ‘black tie’ event he was invited to. For those of you who aren’t socially adept enough to know yet: “Black Tie” means tuxedo, especially in The Netherlands, where Mr. Hoekstra lives.

But, Hoekstra couldn’t find his precious cufflinks.

So, he did what any self-respecting geek would do, he made his own.

Constructed out of “some UTP-plugs, some twisted pair-wire” with a pair of crimping pliers, and a few moments of work, and viola: There you have it.

Your own set of Do-it-yourself Geek Cufflinks:
