Bookmarks are wonderful accessories for anyone who likes reading. Many people think of bookmarks only as the small paper versions they get for free in their favorite bookstore - and indeed a bookmark does not have to be expensive - you can even print them yourself.
A nice example for free downloadable bookmarks can be found on this german website: Lesezeichen drucken. Just download the PDF and print it, perhaps on paper that is a little heavier than normal and you get a nice little present that goes along with any book gift.
Another free way to get nice bookmarks is to create them yourself. If you don’t mind the work and want to spent a little time on it you can create wonderful bookmarks, again the following description is in german, but as it is illustrated with many pictures, it should be no problem to follow the instructions (blumen basteln).
But let’s have a look in the other direction of the price range: There are also very precious bookmarks that are made from a variety of fine materials. Most common in the upper class of bookmarks are silver bookmarks (Lesezeichen Silber). They are available as very sophisticated animal themes or in combination with other materials like wood and leather. To make it short: Everyone can find the bookmarks that best suit his or her character…
The editors of The Future Shop Tech Blog are asking us about some of our favourite geek gifts of Christmas past. I wont go into detail about the year I was excited to see a bike under the tree only to find my brother's name on the gift tag - that one still burns. I did put a lot of mileage on the fast forward spindles on a walkman for years with the headphone cranked. But the best geek gift I got in my youth is one I still love today - Electronic Quarterback.
The came was created in 1978 (I was 8) and I pounded my thumbs and guided that litle red blip across the screen in a wickedly addictive football version of pong.
