The hubby is a serious geek. And I have to own up to a little geekiness myself. After all, we did meet in a computer lab. 15 years later, our geeklings have been raised on a steady stream of Star Wars, Doctor Who, and Harry Potter.
They've been blogged about, quoted on Twitter, and each had an email address within hours of birth. The tween plays Risk and loves video games you've never heard of. The teen has TARDIS earrings. The youngest loves Jar-Jar like there's no tomorrow. (Sorry. We tried.)
We have geeky towels, sheets, clothes, and kitchen utensils. I even have two light sabers in the living room. That's right - two! So, it's been super fun to discover that geeks are coming out of the closet. We're somehow cool again, and there is no shortage of home decor to claim our status a Geek Family.

Boba Fett Tiffany Lamp
2. Boba Fett Tiffany Lamp
Whoa. This seriously blows my mind. It's completely awesome, and I would totally display one in my living room. Sadly, it is a handcrafted design and not for sale. Who wants to learn the art of stained glass for me?

Nintendo Controller Coffee Table

This coffee table is a working Nintendo controller. How freaking cool is that?! Oh, just me? I'll own that geek. It's all mine. Too bad the $3,500 price tag will keep me from owning one of these.
