It’s the third day of Hanukkah, and I’m a Wii richer; and after a good hour of playing Wii Sports with my Dad, I realized several things: 1) I’m pretty lucky to have such cool parents; 2) I’m better at virtual tennis than I am at real life tennis; 3) My Dad has no spatial coordination and is privy to flailing his arms and breaking expensive decorative pieces.

It’s such a good gift for a gal-nerd like me; I only wish I could afford to buy everything I wanted to get for all the special peoples in my life. But since I can’t, I figured I could provide you with a few suggestions – specifically for the nerdy “significant” (or somewhat significant) other in your life.
