Nerdwear: Promo Ts might be a cool fashion statement if you're a rapper or skateboarder with street cred to burn, but there's another scene that wears their giveaway steez as a badge of honour: true geeks. GeekT is a collection of historical apparel from the early days of computing all the way down the line to recent times. The winner seems to be a silver satin jacket commemorating the now defunct dBASE IV software package, fashion enough to be a thrift-store prize for any nerd poseur. Go mild at www.geekt.org. Odd Shots: The Fortean Times has a great photo gallery of weird psychic phenomena, UFOs, crop circles, religious nuts, real zombies, Bigfoot, human magnetism, cattle mutilation, faeries, goatsuckers, ectoplasm, Martian writing and simulacra - things that look like other things - including an image of Rasputin in the ear of a kitten. Oh yeah, and they debunk it. Rubberneck at http://forteantimes.com/gallery/gallery_index.shtml. Comments? Michael Citrome |
