Timmy’s rescued!
We’re happy to report that Picard and his crew were able to take down the evil Kirk and rescue Timmy from the Claw Game machine in our lobby. And it’s a good thing too, since Timmy is coming with us to New York City for our Wired Store field trip and geektacular tweetup at Barcade Brooklyn this weekend. Will you be there? The only acceptable answers are: “YES!” or “No, because I’ll be at home cooking my favorite Asian dishes and awaiting the arrival of my Star Wars Chop Sabers.” Choose wisely, geek friends.

Time for Timmy to save you!
One crisis averted! Share our post-Kirk holiday joy and use code TIMMYSAVED for $10 off your $40 order, good now through 12/12 11:59pm EST. But… what’s that? You don’t know what to buy?
