Geek as chic? Perhaps. Thinkgeek as chic? Definitely. Total, I have probably ordered over $200 worth of gear from Thinkgeek. Items such as shirts, stickers, mugs, caffeine and a few other things that belong to the geek culture. I have been a customer since my first order back in 2000 and since then, Thinkgeek has never let me down.

Thinkgeek’s website has excellent and accurate information in regards to what is in stock and what isn’t. My orders have always been processed quickly and, perhaps most importantly, I have never had a billing problem. Also, Thinkgeek is consistently listing new products and for those of us who get bored with static or semi-static content … this is a very good thing.

Thinkgeek is a part of the OSDN, otherwise known as the Open Source Development Network, Inc. Also included in the OSDN are such geek-worthy websites as Slashdot and SourceForge. Slashdot and SourceForge are prominent open source websites. They both have a large following, geek and otherwise. Thinkgeek, as part of the OSDN, is where many of the Slashdotters and SourceForgers turn to purchase items that enhance and represent their geekyness.

I wear Thinkgeek clothing to just about any and every function I attend. Places like concerts, restaurants, playing hockey, night-out-on-the-town bars and clubs, etc. The reactions to some of the understated t-shirts from Thinkgeek are amazing. I get non-geek people telling me they love the shirt I am wearing and then ask what the shirt means. Most people genuinely want to understand the shirts and I have had several non-geeks ask me where to purchase them. As for the geeks who recognize the shirts and know what it means or know where I got the shirt, the shirts usually act as an excellent conversation piece.

Thinkgeek is the best place to buy geek gear. Thinkgeek is true to the culture because it is run by those who love the culture. So, why do I like wearing geek gear? Because Thinkgeek has made geek, chic … everywhere.
