Green Geek Gift Guide 2008
Over at the mothership, we published a list of gifts that many a techie wouldn't mind find hanging from a (Big Foot sized) stocking, under the tree or parked in the driveway. But what about the green geek in your life?
We've got you covered!
Read on savvy shopper, and sound off on your gift ideas in the comments. Don't forget to hit up the online coupon/deal/bargain sites to really get your money's worth this year.
Apple MacBook
Greenest MacBook ever, as Apple is so eager to rub in Greenpeace's face.
EPEAT Gold, PVC free, LED backlit and an energy efficient design. A little pricey if you're cross-shopping with HP and Dell, but you can Boot Camp if you want to keep a foot in the Windows realm and still enjoy some great hardware, recent hiccups notwithstanding.
Leatherman Skeletool
All of the utility and none of the waste, Leatherman's slimmed down multi-tool comes in handy when a MacGyver-esque moment is desperately needed in the server room.
So nice, I had to post about it twice.
Kill A Watt
Now you can really see how much energy you're consuming, especially when the device is supposedly 'off.' P3's Kill A Watt even makes a power strip version so you can see how much electricity your entire computer setup (CPU, monitor, modem, router... everything!) is consuming.
Voltaic Solar Backpack
Contrary to popular belief, geeks and the Sun do mix. Why not charge your gadgets while you stroll around town or head to the next Con or Meetup/Tweetup?
Voltaic isn't the only game in town, nor the cheapest, but they are badge of honor among the green gadget crowd.
Brand of the Free T-Shirts
Spraying Febreeze on an item you plucked from the hamper is no way to dress young lady or good sir! Expand your favorite geek's wardrobe with stylish, 100 percent organic cotton shipped in recycled mailing envelopes. Check out the front page for some coupon love for some bargain last-minute gifts.
