Flickr Find: Geek Your Earings, PowerBook Style
TUAW reader Scott Benson pointed us to these fab-u-lous earrings made from the power buttons of two old Powerbook cases. After drilling a hole in the tab, they make a beautiful and geekalicious pair of earrings. From an Apple-female-wise karma-point-of-view, these earrings go a long way towards making up for the fact that the iPhone was designed in a way that forces women to trim their fingernails or otherwise tupe loke this.

... might well be the international on-off symbol -- but it sure looks different on earrings!

I've never bothered with pierced ears, but seeing those makes me think it might be worthwhile to poke holes in my perfectly good earlobes.

Those power buttons would make nice cufflinks as well...

I have always thought about getting an ear pierced...
Apple should start making a clothing and jewelry line. Apple logo studs, t-shirts that say "My other heart is an ", and shoes that do the walking for you =P

That's fantastic!
It also goes well with the fact that earlobes are "on buttons" for some...

Hey now! Women aren't the only ones with good nails! I've gotten pretty good at typing with mine when they're decently long, and I wouldn't give up that worn-smooth edge for the world. Can't get it from filing.

And women aren't the only ones with pierced ears! How sexist, Erica!

Almost as sexist as the term 'fanboy'?
