COOL 
Tags: Father's Day, Nerd tie, gifts, Bluetooth Phone Home, Power meter
Is your father a nerd? We know you love him but do you sometimes get a chuckle out of him for being so geeky? Does he program everything in sight, from the remote control to his computer? Is he the in-house tech support and network administrator? If your answer is, “yes,” your father just might be a nerd and here are a few compatible gifts for him.
| | Power meter: Here’s a gift for the technically savvy Dad that could help save the environment too. |
| | Eee PC from Asus: This mini-PC makes a great carry along computer. It has a 7 inch display, weighs just under 2 lb. and comes in colors.You can get a Windows version or Linux version for around $300 |
| | Nerd tie: If your Dad has a sense of humor and you want to get him the traditional father’s day tie, here’s a good suggestion. |
| | Hand powered radio: What techie Dad wouldn’t appreciate a good mulit-band radio that you power with batteries or hand powered magneto? A device like this could make a good addition to your disaster preparedness kit. The Solar Hand-Crank radio costs about $25 and includes a flashlight. The Eton FR400 costs about $60 and includes an analog TV audio tuner that unfortunately will be useless after February 2009 but then any self-respecting techie would have known that. |
| | Bluetooth Phone Home: Plantronics Calisto is a Bluetooth based cordless phone. Your Dad can wear the Bluetooth headset around the house and as long as he's in range talk on the phone and keep his hands free to tinker with whatever needs tinkering with. It costs around $250 but you also get a Bluetooth headset you can use with your mobile phone. |
