A geek designer from Florida, Francisco Molina, has come up with his own unique solution to the problem that drives us anal retentive geeks absolutely crazy: cable management! If you’re like me (and if you’re a geek and reading this blog, you probably are), you’ve got lots of gizmos that need to be plugged in – to power, or USB or AUX or something or other – and the one thing you don’t want is a mess of tangled wires cluttering your beautiful altar of tech greatness. The project he’s launched on Kickstarter ends in just 2 weeks, so be sure to check it out before it’s too late. As cable management doohickeys go, his are very reasonably priced and it’s an innovative design concept.

Geek Toolkit Has Wee Bits for Just About Every Kind of Screw There is
The 54 Bit Driver Kit by iFixit covers most bases for the modern geek. Not only does it have conventional hex bits and flat head and Phillips head screwdriver bits, it also has pentalobe, JIS, torx, torx security, square, triangle, and tri-wing. All in the multitude of tiny, wee little sizes needed to open up iPhones, MacBooks, and all kinds of electronic devices requiring wee little screws.
When I worked at the Apple Store, we used a lot of iFixit tools in the Genius Room – they are nice little tools. High quality, and precision machined.
