I live in Indianapolis and it is starting to get very cold. I need to know where to buy a beanie, toboggan, sockcap with some amount of techiness to it. I have been to thinkgeek and right now there is a ubuntu beanie that is at the top of my list. Isn't there some place with a decent selection?
If you know of online retailers of beanies for techies let me know. I don't want a propeller beanie, I want a regular beanie that will fit completely over my ears. I bought a google beanie and it leaves my earlobes exposed and cold.
Let me know your suggestions

Real geeks knit their own beanies
Kind of an odd question to ask, my first instinct would be thinkgeek...you sure you don't want a propeller hat? they are awesome

Yeah,
I'm a medical student, and I think the propeller puts it over the top. I think the Ubuntu beanie might be subdued enough. I also just found the +15 frost resist beanie which is a strong contender.

LOL:
Our caps aren't like those goofy joke ones you'll feel like a nerd wearing. These are the Rolls Royces of Propeller Caps, ...quality beanies for seriously fashion-conscious geeks!

I saw a Headphone toboggan on some tech-news website, can't remember where.
It is a toboggan hat with built in speakers.
Personally, I want to get a Meatwad toboggan, though Hot topic doesn't carry them anymore.

Thanks guys,
I went with the +15 Frost Resistance beanie. I like the Jinx one, but the skull is a little extreme for me.
