To Geeks in Love (and are willing to enter into legal partnerships)

To honor the recent nuptials between Jefe and his previously stated hot new wife, and their wedding with its delightfully geeky elements (handmade boardgames anyone?), I present here some scenes of geeks entering into legally binding bliss.  Whether it be awesome invitations and announcements, ceremony in a geek venue, or wedding party decked out in their finest homemade costumes (or uniforms, farbeit for me to offend those nuts), what follows are some examples of folks letting their freak flag fly.

And good on them for it.

Invitations and Announcements (from io9)

These are just so creative, and have such geek yet personal elements.  I'm most partial to the comic book covers, especially the "indie" comic style example.  He's dressed for Firefly, she's in BSG gear, and the items stacked are great personal touches.  The Star Trek logo invites are very "geek sleek", and the ouija board is totally outside the box creative.  A shame they couldn't have the ceremony in the fall.

Ceremonies

That first wedding looks like a hoot, but talk about your mixed media.  They must have told guests to wear whatever they wanted.  Halo, Star Wars, AND Spiderman?  Madness!  Master Chief as the officiant of the wedding of what looks like a regular wedding?  The bride must have caved on that one ;).  I know that Trek fans can take any part of the Roddenberry-verse, but ToS mixed with Next Gen, and of all things a Borg in attendance is kooky.  And WTF is going with the Katamari wedding?!  Cut to scene of elderly family looking confused and a little frightened.

And Now, the Cake!

Casting a broad generalization about our geekiness, I assert that we like the sweet treats.  And these cakes are the perfect centerpiece to a geek reception:

 This AWESOME cake topper can be found along with a ton of neato trinkets @ Etsy's Website.

Both are awesome, but I've gotta give it to the Mario cake!

Finally, this wedding looks like it was so cool I had to give them their own rundown.  The lady of the house quickly put the kibosh on any such theme to any potentially pending wedding of our own.  But a man can dream.

Browncoat Wedding

Invitations autographed by both Joss Whedon and Nathan Fillian.  Wow.  All the best wishes in the 'Verse to these citizens.

Been to a geeky wedding lately?

Back in the Saddle, with a Stash Pocket

Hey readers! I'm back from foreign lands and reacclimating to the West coast timezone and rediscovering my regional allergies. Good times. Luckily, I still have a job despite a new round of fresh young hires. Because of the increased competition, however, I haven't had time to catch up on my web-slacking and my Google reader is overflowing with articles (1000+) and my podfeeder is leaking audio content (100+ podcasts)! I don't know if I can catch up, folks, and I may need to do the unthinkable and just hit reset and start over.

Before I do that though, here's something fairly recent I saw that I wish I had had on my travels. Luckily I didn't get pick-pocketed on my trip, but I was hyper vigilant about it ever since losing my wallet in Poland. If I'd had a pair of these babies on me, however, I wouldn't have had a care in the world.



Brilliant. Maybe I shouldn't admit this, but I love watching this guy shove stuff in his pants. I doubt anyone would want to bum a smoke off him after they've been in there for awhile, and not just because they got bent, but would have a slight hint of man taint to them. What kind of stuff would you hide in your Stashitware shorts?
