BEST OLD-SCHOOL TECH
Brunton Classic Mirrored Map Compass Does anyone use compasses any more in the era of GPS? The answer is, only people who enjoy thinking and deducing, rather than having the answer handed to him. This is the classic model, good for tucking into the knapsack for a quick hike. Anyway, what good will GPS be after the fall of civilization? | |

EASILY THE BEST RUSSIAN 8-LENS CAMERA
Lomo Oktomat 8-Lens Camera Whether or not he's a shutterbug, this slick camera will pique his curiousity. Basically it triggers each lens consecutively, dividing the frame into 8 slightly different shots. I have the 4-lens model and it's lots of fun. Surely with 8 lenses this camera will be twice as cool! | |

PERFECT FASHION ACCESSORY

TITANIUM!

EAR SAVERS
Sony MDR-NC6 Noise Canceling Headphones Forget those eardrum-damaging earbuds. These puppies deliver full, rich, nigh-audophile sound while reducing background noise like freeway traffic by up to 70%. The reason people go deaf with earbuds is because they lack that noise reduction feature, so they have to crank the volume to hear their tunes. Save your geek's ears. Buy him some awesome headphones.

GREAT PC SPEAKERS
Logitech X-230 PC Speakers When his explosions don't properly shake the house, it's time for a subwoofer. Extremely rich sound, but also good for work -- sound quality is excellent at low volumes. Very highly rated. |
