What Geek gifts did you get?

[Integral]

My faviorite (Next to the complete Far Side Collection!)

Is the Forever Flashlight (http://www.foreverflashlights.com/?source=googleppc) No batteries needed! It will never run down! Pretty cool, It Has a coil and a small magnet mounted in the handle, the magnet is free to slide back and forth through the coil, thus charging a small Cap (some circiutry involved) About 20sec of shaking gives about 2min of good light.

[Evo]

Oh that's cool!

I didn't get any good geek gifts. :(

[Hurkyl]

Er... a best buy gift certificate card?


All the rest of my gifts were the opposite of geeky! Japanese rice bowl & chopsticks, giant Hershey's kiss, Harry Potter #5. But I liked 'em all; please don't tell me this means I'm turning into a non-geek! [*(]

[Integral]

HP #5 nearly qualifies as a geek gift, what ever, it is a good book. Enjoy!

[The_Professional]

Nothing geeky

a. perfume

b. a woman's phone number

[Jonathan]

1)quality gyro
2)two sci books
3)gift certificates to book stores

[Monique]

I bought myself a gift, does that qualify? [;)]


DVD: Amelie, a film by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (French movie)

A real feel-good movie!! If you haven't seen it: http://www.monas.nl/see/movamelie.htm You must!

We watched (or should I say Read!) that movie a few months back, ...

humm... I fell asleep!

Thats the trouble with watching movies while lying on the sofa.

[Jimmy]

I got Richard Feynman's 'Six not so Easy Pieces' in Audio(CD) and book form.

[Hurkyl]

I got the rest of the Harry Potter series for myself. (I can't very well read the 5th one if I don't remember the other 4, right? [:D])


Oh, I'm gonna be getting a math textbook for my birthday on the 9th (woulda gotten it for Christmas, but I didn't let my folks know in time). That's geeky enough. [:)]

[Ivan Seeking]

I got Tsunami a radio controlled car to chase Zoobie with[the kitten, not the member].

I also got her a George Foreman grill in honor of Boxing Day.

I got walkie talkies...that's kind of nerdy. This way Tsunami figures I can't hide anymore. Really they are very useful on start-ups. This prevents a lot of yelling and walking.

[Sting]

I got a textbook on Topology, an Isaac Asimov book, The Mummy II, Enemy at the Gates, some PJ's, a Rage Against the Machine VHS, and a textbook on Mathematical Physics.

[Adam]

A DVD player for my computer.

Which came first the member name or the kitten? [:)]

My wife got me a radio controlled car to chase our dog with. It's fun isn't it?

I also got a battery operated star finder that lights up and can show the area of the sky where planets are, star constellations, and a few other objects. If that ain't nerdy, I don't know what is.

[photon]

An online gift certificate to a book store.
At least my grandma thought it was boring.

I got a rain poncho from my sister and paper lantern from my parents. It was funny when i opened a cool lookin present that was actually a lamp shade. WTH?

(to self): I just dont get these guys.

Member.
Yes!
Beyond a doubt, totally nerdy.[:D]

[recon]

I received nothing at all. Is that Geeky enough for you?

Of course, I did run out to get myself The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Extended Edition DVD the day after Christmas. Best, Worst and Only Gift I've received for this year. A little sad, don't you think?

[Monique]

Well, my family doesn't do presents either :)

Instead I made some really good snacks.. mmmhm!

[motai]

heh, My family spent more time eating than opening presents. More time was spent in the preperation of dinner like setting up the table rather than the tree itself.

[Sting]

Apparently Christmas isn't over for me because I got more presents today.

I got 50 CD-R's, Richard Feynman's Six Easy Pieces, and some black leather pants.

Black leather pants?!?!
That sounds nerdy[:D]
I could never bring myself to wear that, but that's just me.

I got a cool sweater that I'm wearing now.

Humm... I always thought sweaters were warm! [:))]

[photon]

No, the sweater isn't warm, I am. It just keeps me from losing heat.
[:D]
Sweaters are nerdy, too. I have a math/science teacher that has tons of sweaters. He wears a different one almost every day.

For your other career as a rock star?

For riding motorcycles?

For gettin down at the disco tech? [:D]

Gosh Zero, that sucks!

Here's a gift from me. Remember on June 5th, 2003, when I said you were wrong?

I take it back.

Merry Christmas [6)]

ummm...I've got to say that I've never equated black leather pants with nerds. In fact, the whole idea of a nerd in black leather pants just creeps me out! [:D]

The emoticon: [:D] translates into sarcasm.
Just lettin ya know

Yeah, a nerd in black leather pants scares me too. Especially if the pants are tight. [g)]
Maybe Sting isn't really nerd
I deny being a nerd. Our breed prefers the term, "wise guy."
[:D]

[photon]

Ooh ooh, I got a good one.

Last year I got a boxed set of Stephen Hawkings, Universe in a Nutshell, and, The Illustrated A Brief History of Time.

The nerdy part is that I was so exited I thought I would wet my pants. Also got a Palm Pilot handheld computer with the same reaction.

[The_Professional]

Nerd is a diminishing word. Geeky is more like it [:D]

[Sting]

For your other career as a rock star?

maybe

For gettin down at the disco tech?

no

the whole idea of a nerd in black leather pants just creeps me out!

Tell me your definition of "nerd" and we'll see from there.

I've done all the "nerdy" things wearing leather pants:
- I've explained to a group of freshman on how to approximate e.
- I've showed how to work a related rates problem.
- I've worked on a Differential Equations project
- I've programmed
- I've composed a practice Physics exam for the department I work for.

But it all depends on your definition of "nerd"

Too tight cuts off circulation. Wouldn't want that! [;)]

Maybe Sting isn't really nerd


Again, it all depends on your definition of "nerd"

Not only that, but it's not that I wear a button shirt with pocket protectors and 16+ pens and a calculator WITH leather pants (that's just freaky).

[Sting]

Oh yeah, I've got a few more things for Christmas.

$200 to buy more books, A Rage Against the Machine VHS, and a Spongebob Squarepants stuffed doll.

Wrong Sting and English is my least favorite subject.

Well, have you ever seen the OLD SNL's with Guilda Radner as Lisa Lupner and Bill Murray as her boyfriend, Todd? Do you remember how Todd dressed? That would be one of many definitions of a nerd.

Here's another one. Ya know Ivan?[:D] ...

Not only that, but it's not that I wear a button shirt with pocket protectors and 16+ pens and a calculator WITH leather pants (that's just freaky).

Oh, thank God!!! That WOULD be freaky. [:D]

Somehow I've got this image of Steve Urkel in leather pants in my mind..
