Wake Up to Your Fave Tunes With the MP3 Alarm Clock
I can't say I'm very creative when it comes to the sound my alarm clock makes (now my cell phone, that's a different story), so the idea of being able to upload some of my favorite songs to help me wake up on the right side of the bed is something I could get used to.
This MP3 Alarm Clock ($60) lets you easily upload around 32 songs via its built in USB port. What I like about it is that it's not only nice to look at if it does have a permanent spot beside your bed, but it's also nice and tiny so you can easily take it with you while traveling — alarm clock and mini stereo system in one!

So you've been reading FitSugar and studying up on how to get the bods of some of Hollywoods hottest celebrities because let's face it, a lot of celebrities have amazing figures these days.
Firebox has tapped into our desires to weigh what celebrities weigh with this

Trade Your Nightcap for A Lightcap
It might be time for me to trade my nightcap in for a lightcap and by that I mean it's time for me to stop getting inspired by PartySugar's happy hour recipes and start drinking more water geek chic style. For those of you that love camping, hiking or just staying hydrated, the LightCap, $24.99, combines a water bottle with a LED light - adding a practical and geeky element you don't find with most water bottles. Its lid contains a sealed unit housing a solar panel, Ni-Cad battery pack and powerful LED light.Easter Gifts: A Geek's Guide
I was in the seasonal aisle of Walgreens this weekend grumbling about the fact that I've just finished my Valentine's Day candies and the rest of the world has already settled in to Cadbury eggs, when I realized that there is a whole basket full (I couldn't help myself!) of geeky spring gadgets that are way cuter and less fattening than any Easter candy. If you are in the market for bunnies, chicks, eggs and chocolates consider asking the Easter bunny for one of these treats instead of something sugary-sweet.
Nabaztag Tag
The Nabaztag is one of my all time favorite geeky items and if you are going to buy one, spring is certainly the season.
iFish, iCat, iDog - Surprisingly, iDon't Hate
I usually hate on silly 'i" things for the simple reason that there are too many of them. When it comes to the iFish, iDog and iCat, my feelings are all friendly and fun. The small little critters are interactive speaker toys that hook up to your iPod or MP3 player.

Tips For Using a Smoker
For Father's Day, my dad got a shiny new smoker. While he's enjoyed experimenting with it so far, he's run into some technical difficulties. When I asked him what the instruction booklet said, I was shocked to hear that it does not include any smoking directions!
Novelty Gift Ideas: New Geeky Toys
While the holidays seem close at hand to the retail industry, they are still far enough away that most of us don't want to even think about gift buying or giving.
While I'm not ready to start stuffing any stockings, I don't want to let the bevy of new "it" products from stores like Firebox and Thinkgeek go out of stock before I get my mittens on them, so I'm stocking up.
My favorite gift right now is the Zip Code Puzzle from Firebox.
Geek Out: Share Your Favorite Desk Accessories
I define desk accessories as things you don't really need, but you want. From novelty speakers, USB-powered beverage heaters and coolers and lamps that charge gadgets to goofy Kung Fu tape dispensers - there seems to be no end to the genre.
I don't need the iCat speaker from Firebox, but that doesn't stop me from drooling over it.
