Well, I\u2019m pretty late in terms of reviewing<\/a> the new Star Trek movie<\/a>, so I\u2019ll leave that to others<\/a>. As I understand it, the way that the movie cleverly elides issues of continuity so as not to be held to the storylines of previous films and television episodes is all about the fans. The sort of folks that like Star Trek and other science fiction and fantasy\u2014myself included\u2014are known for paying attention to detail and quickly notice if plot point contradicts something that occurred earlier in the larger plot, even if it was in a book\/film that was authored by a different person, or was produced years earlier (see \u201cCanon\u201d in the Wookipedia<\/a>).<\/p>\n

However, this audience is not known for paying nearly as much attention to, ahem, fashion sense. Sure, there\u2019s \u201cgeek chic,\u201d but it operates, in part, on the premise that being an early adopter of high-end gadgets or a fan of \u201cLord of the Rings,\u201d means adhering to a particular type of uniform. What if you\u2019re a Star Trek fan who works in an office that has a dress code, or you simply don\u2019t like pocket protectors? What to do? You can find classic elements of style that hint\u2014not yell\u2014your geekdom. To that effect, these Star Trek Cufflinks are perfect:

\nTo someone uniformed, they\u2019re just lovely cufflinks with an interesting, abstract design. To a fellow geek, they\u2019re worth coveting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
