Gadget Guide for Holiday Giving Fri 24 Nov 06

Yesterday we in the US celebrated Thanksgiving where we stop and think about how blessed we are and give thanks for it.  However being the materialistic society that we are where we follow it up immediately with "Black Friday", the official start of the holiday shopping season to get more stuff .  Before you run away thinking I'm about to give you my wish list let me just say this posting is just some holiday gift giving suggestions for that hard to find gadget-loving technology oriented loved one.  Rather than compile this list myself I'll defer to the wise folks at Scientific American.  They've put together a fantastic list of gadget gift items including such things as:

• a USB rocket launcher for your PC
• a flight in Space Ship Two
• Gridpoint Connect (described by one commentator as TiVo for electricity)
• an interesting way to slice your golf ball (check out the video)

Although it may not be as famous as the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book  this one gets right to the heart of the matter without fooling around with all that practical stuff.

Happy shopping!
