Gift Guide for Geeks

Gift Guide for Geeks is a series of posts I wrote for Christmas 2006 outlining what I thought would make for good gifts.

1. Introduction – Some personal stories of what the holiday experience is usually like for me.
2. Gifts.com – I go through one of those gift suggestion websites and try to pick out the good from the bad. TIP: these sites suck.
3. Gamers – A list of what I think is good for the Xbox 360, Nintendo DS and PC video gamers.
4. Comic Books – My favorite comic books available in trade paperbacks.
5. Programming/Tech Books – Top ten recommended books for programmers, managers and anyone working in high tech.
6. Books – 45 of my favorite books (non-fiction, fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, humour).
7. Movies – 81 of the best DVD recommendations.
8. TV series on DVD – some shows I like.
9. T-shirts – 100+ geek t-shirts that I like.
10. Last Minute Suggestions – waited too long and need a gift in a hurry? Try these.

I’ve also created an Amazon store if you want to browse the lists with an option to directly buy.
