Geek Apparel of the Week: Don’t Panic and Portal Socks
 |
?? It seems like all the shirt-a-day sites had something nerdy today, but my favorite is Qwertee’s. Sure, it’s another of those “Keep Calm” things, but it’s Hitchhiker’s Guide-themed, and the bowl of petunias is a very nice touch. It’s 10? here for the next 14 hours.

?? Besides, no nerd shirt I’ve seen today is even a quarter as awesome as these Portal socks from Jinx. They come in women’s sizes only, which is sad but probably for the best. They’re a mere $10 a pair here.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
