Where to buy cool IT lanyards?

I broke my lanyard the other day and would like to get a new one that has something to do with IT. The only place I've found so far has been ThinkGeek. Anybody have any good ideas?

Thanks,

Jake

    Just use a piece of CAT5.

    I like what you're saying. But, I don't think my bosses would think it would be acceptable. I have to dress up.

    Find someone that goes to a lot of seminars, symposiums, and conventions. That person will have a drawer filled with badges and lanyards.

    No kidding. The bottom drawer of my filing cabinet is just full of exhibition junk. You don't ever need to buy a lanyard if you don't mind it advertising some product.

    I never thought I'd hear "cool", "IT" and "lanyard" in the same sentence before. Just my $.02.

    If I ever need one I will dig out one from my collection. It sure won't be IT related though - will be from a F1 or A1 GP, or maybe MotoGP or Superbikes.

    I opened this thread to make the exact same comment, glad to see I'm not the only one with that thought. icon_lol.gif

    Nice lead, but I found this one which may be more appropriate!

    I don't wear anything around my neck because I don't want to give the ninjas that are constantly stalking me an easy way to choke me.

    duh...

    I have an even better idea.

    Just get a giant tampon and use that. You'll not only be able to proudly display your work badge, you'll also be covered when your period starts!

    Tried a lanyard a couple of times, just isn't my thing. Was trying to make it work out for my access card because the clip to my belt or shirt thing really irks me, and simply sticking it in my pocket makes it convenient to lose (always great arriving to work locked out of your department, didn't have the physical key since the locks just changed).

    Turns out lanyards annoy me too, that and I dunno - I think they just look a bit tacky. I'm more of a pockets kind of person - minimal stuff though. Cell in one, leatherman and flash drive in the other. Access card rides in my wallet so I kinda have to present my rear to the door to make it open - sure I look like a tard, but it ensures I never forget it since I very very rarely ever forget my wallet.

    I have a client where aside from having to have the badge visible at all times you need to use it to enter or exit through any doors and as a part of logging into any workstation. You get used to it and it doesn't really look any more tacky when everyone else in the building is wearing them too. :)

    This is the lanyard that I use at work:

    LEGO 852330-1: Lanyard LEGO Classic | Brickset: LEGO set guide and database

    It's great because it's thick and bright so I never forget it when I'm rushing out the door to work (as I usually am) and saves me the trouble of having to turn around again when I realized 10 minutes into my commute that I forgot it (along with my access card) To show how much of a big Lego and Star Wars geek I am, I also hang this on said Lanyard:

    LEGO® Star Wars? Darth Vader Key Chain | Star Wars? Accessories | LEGO Shop

    I got a yellow Fluke lanyard as a freebie once when my employer bought a cable tester.

    I have two lanyards (the Fluke and some basic blue thing) for my keys but neither lives around my neck. Each hangs out of my pocket so that I can tell if I have the correct keys with me, otherwise I just walk out and get locked out (Yellow=work & Blue=personal).
