I need to buy a tech / geek beanie

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 :finga:

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 http://www.geekculture.com/geekcultures ... /caps.html

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.

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.
