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.

Apple should start making a clothing and jewelry line. Apple logo studs, t-shirts that say "My other heart is an ï£¿", and shoes that do the walking for you =P

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.
