Sure, Travelocity's Roaming Gnome gets around, but we'd like to think that TechRepublic swag has reached remote corners of the world as well.

If you've ever received TR swag, please send us a photo of it to trol@techrepublic.com so that we can add it to this gallery (be sure to include the state and country where you reside).

If you don't have any TR swag, but you'd like to receive some (and are willing to send us a photo of it in your natural surroundings), send us an e-mail with your mailing address to trol@techrepublic.com.

We took advantage of TechRepublic's page on Facebook to ask the TechRepublic community what geeky vacation destinations they'd recommend. Here are some of the places that top their geeky travels.

For the most part, IT professionals are self-proclaimed geeks who love to play with gadgets. So, the TechRepublic community was the perfect group to ask, "What is your favorite geeky gadget?"

Take a look at this photo gallery to see how some TR members responded.

Send all correspondence to trol@techrepublic.com.

In case you missed the announcement in the discussion forums, TR member OldER Mycroft (OM) passed away. Not only was OM active in the discussion and questions forums, but he also participated in the TR Member Spotlight interview series, sent in numerous photos for the TROLOV video series, and even recorded an audio greeting for TechRepublic's 10-year anniversary celebration. We've compiled some of these photos and audio clips in memory of a valued TR community member whose intelligence, humor, and friendship will be greatly missed both on and off the site. RIP, OM. For folks who can't view Flash video, you can choose to just listen to the audio file.
