Why be content with buying your own geeky clothing from ThinkGeek when you can now make your children spread the geeky word as well. Amber over at sister site Babblebaby sends word that one of our favourite online shopping sites has now launched a special sub-site for kitting out your mini-mes with smaller versions of the same tech-inspired threads. There's also a whole host of geeky toys to keep junior entertained for hours. And with Christmas just over a month away now, the timing couldn't be better for geeking out your entire family's wardrobe...

The last colour-changing, heat-detecting showerhead was some kind of nebulous OEM product from China, but this LED Shower Light is actually purchasable from Thinkgeek. Unlike that one, this only has blue and red, but it works exactly the same: red == hot, blue == cold. Unfortunately, the red in this activates at 32 degrees C, which is actually still colder than your body, so unless you like lukewarm showers, this maybe ain't so great after all. [Think Geek]
The reason that the official Indiana Jones Fedora is available on Think Geek is that only geeks think that they can pull off wearing a fedora in the year 2008. The only fedora you (us) nerds should stick to is Red Hat's version, leaving Indiana Jones' to the still handsome but greying Harrison Ford. If you really do want to pick up your own version for some down-home sexy play, it's US$99. Everything's in stock except for X-Large and XX-Large, further proving our point that only overweight nerds will buy and wear this outdoors. [Think Geek]
We humbly suggest this When In Doubt, Try Another Hole shirt for your annual "please let me keep my Gizmodo" plea to your IT guy. But note that while we condone the apparel, we can't necessarily support the advice. Lest it lead to an awkward night with your spouse, or worse still, their printer/fax. [ThinkGeek via Gearfuse]
ThinkGeek is shipping Art Lebedev's Optimus Maximus keyboard at last. Price is US$1,589.99. [ThinkGeek]
Do you want to prove to your office mates that you've got an acerbic wit and great sense of irony? This Paper E-Mail isn't the way to do it. Sure, it's clever to write notes to Bob that look like emails (cc: your mom!), but is it really clever? Is it US$3.99 clever? Perhaps. Is it US$3.99 plus shipping clever? Perhaps not. Either way, you only get 50 chances per pack to impress. [ThinkGeek via Tech Digest]
This 10-inch diameter Stargate mirror comes with 39 glyphs and nine chevrons to a) give you two trillion planet destinations to travel to, b) show you your hangover face every morning, c) open a wormhole door to an alien army so they can invade and destroy the planet, or d) all of the above. In any case, completely worth the US$49.99, as the guy after the jump can attest.
One of ThinkGeek's many fantastic April Fool's products is now becoming real, following the same path as the 8-bit Tie last year. This one, the Personal Soundtrack Shirt, takes a little bit more engineering effort than a tie, so if you're interested in one you'll have to put yourself on their notification list. But think of it, being able to blast the Imperial March or Magnificent Seven theme or the Get Smart theme whenever you enter a room? That's what we call quality. [Think Geek]
