Hot In The Hive: F1/F2 Lamp Shade

Anyone who's ever owned a Macbook (or any Apple product, for that matter), has likely fallen in love and surrendered themselves to the iWorld (not a real thing -- don't get excited). Ever since the general public accepted the iPhone as their go-to do-everything phone of choice, I've been seeing Apple-related references all over the place, on and off the touchscreen. iPhone app coasters, iChat speech bubble pillows... and now an F1/F2 Button Lamp Shade?! I gotta say, it's probably one of the cleverest gadget-to-decor adaptations I've seen thus far, and it gets the geeky idea across without looking too gimmicky. For $65, it is just the shade itself, but it's available in either table lamp or ceiling form so you can dress up pretty much any naked Ikea-bought fixtures you may already have in your apartment. Now, if only the light could be programmed with the press of your Macbook brightness key... I'm sure some of you geekier Hivers could figure out how!
Price: $65
Appeal To Your Inner Nerd By Revamping Your Pad With Geek-Chic Decor!

I may be the ultimate fashionista when I'm out on the town (ha!), but behind closed doors I'm a total nerd. Beyond my pile of shoes is a neatly-arranged collection of Nintendo DS and Wii games (not to mention tons of movie musicals on DVD), and slightly obstructed by all those unpacked shopping bags is a whole Sanrio store worth of Hello Kitty collectibles that I definitely bought in the most recent quarter of my 23 years. And since my working life largely revolves around a computer (and it's hell on my vision), I've recently joined the "four eyes" club with my new eyeglasses that I can't even watch "Project Runway" without! I thought my geekdom was complete... that is, until I stumbled upon all this cute nerdy decor! I don't have an iPhone, but these App Coasters are still an adorable addition to any tabletop, and these Tetris Wall Decals are a fun and colorful replacement for that "Battlestar Galactica" poster you have hanging in your home office. And now you can sing a tune-deaf ode to your favorite periodic table element while you wash up in the shower. For more geeky-chic additions to your home, check the slideshow!
