Design geek or regular geek I think there is something all geeks can agree on, off beat rare products are awesome! A geek with a replica 11th Doctor Who bow tie is a very happy geek. Although the design geek would order it for the cool factor and pick apart the packaging design seconds after ripping the tape off that FedEx package.
Anyhoo, for all the nerd, geeks, and dorks out there check out Geek Alerts. Trust me you will not be disappointed.
Here a few of my favorites. I think my geekness is showing.

"HARVEST by haroshi has been a refreshing take on recycled artwork, known for producing various items out of used skate decks. Showcasing all of the collective’s work throughout the years, they recently held an exhibition at the PLSMIS Gallery in Tokyo. Images of the show can be seen HERE, courtesy of Brandon Shigeta."
