memory for your mother, for Mother's Day

Mother's Day is Sunday (May 9th). Lexar is suggesting that you consider giving portable memory storage (for data) as a gift...

At first thought, it may not seem like a great idea...but, hold on: it's something she can keep things on and take with her anywhere she goes. She can put important information on it, like a will and health records. Pictures and videos can be available for her to show-off. And, she can copy some music files so she can listen to them.

They can be very stylish. For example, Lexar has drives available in different colors and sizes:

16GB JumpDrive FireFly (Red)

8GB JumpDrive FireFly (Charcoal)

4GB JumpDrive FireFly (White)

2GB JumpDrive FireFly (Black)

"...It also serves as a fashionable accessory and comes with a key chain hole so it can be easily tethered onto a key ring, attached to a backpack, or hooked to a purse or briefcase..."

To enhance it as a gift, I thought you can: purchase a USB drive...copy files to it that she will love (pictures, audio recordings, and videos of and from family)...and then give it to her on Mother's Day. With a tissue, because there's a good chance she might think it's so sweet she'll shed a tear or two...

neat shirts and stuff

I was surfin' da 'net, and came across some items in the ThinkGeek T-Shirt section I thought to share. Since retailers are again coming after our holiday money early, you can begin your shopping for your favorite nerd and geek. (Hopefully, that would be me...)

A shirt with THE quote from "The Princess Bride":






















Zero Wing:
"Somebody set up us the bomb"
"You have no chance to survive make your time"
and...





















These would make neat nightshirts:































And, if your geek is a girl, HTTPanties that have (200/403/404/411) status codes on them.
