So your mom can program in assembly? Or maybe she’s just really into totally unique jewelry? Either way, we’ll help you find a nice Mother’s Day gift for her that she’ll adore. For instance, check out these Estrogen Earrings featuring the estrogen molecule cast in sterling silver. There’s also a matching necklace to complete the “feminine” look.

Your mom loves to travel? Why not get her a matching set of Circuit Board Luggage Tags? The bright red ones will make her suitcases stand out in a crowded baggage carousel so she can grab them quickly and get on with her trip. Pick up a matching Circuit Board Notebook so she can keep a journal of her journey and jot down notes. And surely she’ll meet interesting fellow travelers along the way and want to stay in touch. A Circuit Board Business Card Case is just the thing to hold her calling cards.

She won’t believe that the pretty teal “beads” on the Teal Triple Capacitor Necklace are actually real capacitors until she sees them up close. For the less-nerdy moms out there, just tell her to flip the package over so she can learn about how vital capacitors are in most electronics. And to complete the look, get her a pair of matching Teal Capacitor Earrings.

Most women have either a handbag or shoe addiction (or both!), so why not get your mom a cool purse? She’ll flip when she sees the Diskette Handbag that has six real floppy disks on each side. And for nights on the town, she’ll appreciate the use of duct tape in the Duct Tape Purse and Starburst Duct Tape Clutch. Remember when mom would put little notes in your lunch? Write her a note saying how great a mom she is, and then hide it in one of the pockets for her to find–it’s totally sweet and it’ll make up for all those times you forgot to call.

Here’s a few more of our choices for nice gifts for mom.

We just added two more sizes to the line of circuit board notebooks and binders: a composition notebook and a half-sheet, smaller binder. If you’re especially wordy you’ll appreciate the larger page size of the composition notebook and if you’ve got endless scattered 6″ x 9″ pages, punch some holes in their sides and gather them together in sequential order, protected by tough circuit boards on the outsides. Nerdy but definitely cool.

Good news and bad news. The bad news is that the host that the Fractalspin blog is on got had its databased erased and the backups corrupted (but the main Fractalspin.com site is perfectly fine–it’s on a different, dedicated server). So we’ve lost all the posts from February – April.

The good news is, we were inspired to create a line of “fbxrd” gear, like the sticker you see above, and the t-shirts down below. The shirts will be great to wear when you have a hangover–or when you get all your websites hax0rd into the ground.

Fear not–more new stuff is on the way!
