2007 Holiday Gift Guide: Techie Treats

"Damn, I hope I got an iPhone..."

Gadgets make for killer holiday gifts. And they usually convey that uber-cool “whoooaaa” factor. As in “Whooahh!? Who thinks of this stuff?”

Vinny Lopez, who covers techie reporting for The Advocate (and some other mags) loves these gizmos. And he zipped in to clue you in to a few cool gift ideas that will add some geek chic to your tinsel-trimmed holiday season.

Check out what he’s got in the video...

And then get all the info on the goods after the jump!

Vinny Lopez: Bearded Techie God!

First off, you’ve got to wake up. Right?

Voco Talking Clock

Enough with the banshee-like alarm and hateful buzzers! This civilized Voco Talking Clock is voiced by none other than out British actor/author Stephen Fry whose dulcit tones gently ease you into morning consciousness. “I am delighted you have survived another night...” is just one of the hilariously charming offerings you can choose.

Clocky Alarm Clock

On the opposite end of the aggressive wake-up call spectrum is the Clocky Alarm Clock. This mad little beast will roll around, whoop and ring, and then bound off the nightstand and roll around the room until you pounce on it and silence it. Buy this for someone you don’t like, maybe?

RascoDog Ready Leash

If you’re always forgetting to take little plastic baggies to clean up after your pooch, this Ready Leash solves that dilemma. The bags are stored in the leash handle. Duh!?!!!!

Sony Cybershot Digital Camera

Sony’s been making killer digital cameras for years now. And their latest incarnation of the Cybershot comes in fierce colors, and boasts an big, awesome touchscreen back screen which is how you control it. Very iPhone-ish, don’t ya know...

And here's the Cybershot's backside. Yes, you can touch it!!!!
