As all lifestyle-conscious consumers know, accessories reveal an awful lot about a person. Digital types are not immune to these subtle forms of social stereotyping: does your laptop mark you as a hip, ironic twentysomething engineer, or merely a boring businessperson? And isn't there an accessory that says "geek" more elegantly than a pair of NHS glasses with a Band-Aid across the nose bridge?
Thanks to the designers at Marché Noir, you can now reboot your sense of style with a Computer Key Ring. These life-size sterling-silver replicas of old-school PC keys are available with a choice of Alt, Ctrl, Delete, and Esc inscriptions. Sturdy and bulky, the smallest rings are too big for the more delicate-boned programmer, but a full range of larger sizes is available. Buy all four and wear them simultaneously - it's like a nerdy set of brass knuckles. Best of all, the key rings are spring loaded, so they make a satisfying click.
