Are you in love with a geek? Got a few proud-to-be-nerd friends? Have a parent who’s still so into Star Wars you’re amazed that they ever got married and ending up having you?
If you answered yes to any of these questions and still can’t seem to find the perfect holiday present for the techie in your life, here’s a list of gifts that are sure to tickle their flash drive.
• AnnoyATron – ($9.99) – If you know someone who gets a kick out of watching people squirm, buy them a cheap and easy way to be the bane of their co-workers’ (or professor’s) existence! The AnnoyATron is a tiny device that once hidden, emits loud beeping sounds without any real rhythm. After a few minutes, most victims will probably go crazy trying to figure out what they’re hearing. A high tech version of the old cell phone prank. Nice.
• Micro Spy Remote – ($8.99) – Another way to piss people off! This tiny universal remote has the ability to change the channel on almost any television set. Whether your nerd is at the doctor’s, in a bar, or just at a friend’s house, stealthily changing the channels is sure to either A) confuse the hell out of people, or B) make them think they have a ghost. And believe me, when people really think there’s a ghost controlling their TV…it’s hilarious. Read More »

• C’mon everyone! Stop having lives and start watching TV! P.S. Cavemen premieres tonight… (Reuters)
• Finally, a class where the nerds will be cool! For a semester, at least. (The Crimson White)
• Honda Civic being sold on Craigslist has over 930,000 miles on it and is in seemingly great condition. One question: does it still smell like a guido or is that just a New York thing? (autoblog.com)
• “If I would’ve let him smoke crack in my house, he would still be alive, and I blame myself.” Ummm, I feel like that logic is somewhat flawed. (KCTV5)
• Another reason to go Green: Volkswagen is planning to release all future models with a hybrid option! (GoSunSolutions.com)

Damn you, Natalie Portman! I’ve been using this line for years! Now it’s never gonna to sound original.
Everyone’s favorite Harvard educated, beautiful, Star Wars (the new episodes, that everyone hated, and that I never saw, because I can’t understand Star Wars for the life of me) Queen apparently has no qualms when it comes to considering a relationship with another chick. Cue the lotion and tissues.
Who knows, maybe she really means it. Maybe it’s not just about publicity and making herself seem mysterious and worldly. So what that there’s never even been one peep of girl on girl rumor? So what she’s never been photographed so much as hugging another chick? Who cares that she hasn’t been in the public eye for a while and may need to remind people she still exists? Maybe she’s telling the god honest truth. I guess I should stop being so judgmental. I mean, just because almost every girl I know has uttered this line shouldn’t make me doubt Ms. Portman’s sincerity.
So…kudos to you, Natalie! If you want to go gay, the majority of the male population will completely, sincerely, 100% support you. I mean, we’ll all support you. I just think they’ll support you with extra energy.
