Fractal Spin                         vs.                  ThinkGeek 
  Purple Resistor Necklace                               Atomic Dog Tag



Although I enjoy ThinkGeek's assorted t-shirts, accessories, and other miscellaneous geek items, I always encounter two problems:

1] A disproportionate amount of the items are for the malefolk

2] Many of the items meant for girls, are dare I say, a bit too geeky.  We want to nod to our inner geek, not a wear a giant RAM chip hanging from a vending machine quality ball chain.  Something tells me it is geek/gamer boyfriends who want us to don this blingy nerdwear of Mr. T proportions...



For bourgie fashionistas like me, Fractal Spin offers an excellent alternative for geekcessories.  The jewelry, for example, is of much higher quality, and it maintains a tasteful element of geek without being tacky.  The site also offers a large selection of bags, wallets, and watches that are suited for grown-up geeks -- not 14 year old boys who play WoW all day. 

The nicest thing about the items at Fractal Spin?  They can be appreciated by geek and non-geek alike.
