So Christmas is literally next week! Insert home alone Kevin scream as you process that statement. But no, its next week and I know Dustin put out a nice little nerd Christmas wish list but I wanted to bring you this post with some of the best tech for relatively cheap for that nerd in your life.  

Let's jump right into the Best Tech for Under $20 list.

First the Aukey 30w/6A 3 port USB foldable travel wall charger. This is great for those like myself running an extension cord to my nightstand just to have enough plug ins for both my iPads and iPhone while I sleep! For only $12.99 this is a can't miss for the multi-device special someone in your life!

Next on the list is the Anker 12,000 mah Portable Battery Charger! Yes I said TWELVE THOUSAND mah! That's prolly 10 or more full charges on your phone and it's only $19.99. May be one of the best items I carry in my bag when we are out and about for convention season! ** Better hurry, 2 days before this post it has went up by $5 so hop on it quick!

This item if for that phone photographer in your life. For just $19.99 you can pick up this 3 Lens set from Mpow. You'll get Macro, Wide and Fisheye lenses that flip on to your smartphone that will definitely step up your picture taking game.

Next the Anker Multi-Angle phone or tablet stand and its only $9.99. Perfect for any desk or workspace and since they are only $10 maybe get them 2 one for each their phone and tablet!

Last item on the list is this awesome keychain from Nomad. Comes in either Lightning or Micro USB and right now at hellonomad.com you can get 20% either one. Lighting will run you $19.95 (after 20%) while the micro USB will only put you back $15.99 (after 20%). I've been eye'ballin these for a while and thanks to the 20% off their site is running I can't wait to get mine!

I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas!

Nerdy Holiday List

Hello nerds and nerdettes! It's that time of year again. Shopping for a nerd is never the easiest thing to do. So, with that being said, here is a little something to make it just a little easier with some of the coolest stuff known to nerdkind!

The Flux Capacitor Car Charger. Now you can get that 1.21 jigawats right into your phone! Just plug it into your car's 12V vehicle power adapter and turn it on. 88mph and . . . ok, don't go that fast. That would be bad, because the Flux Capacitor Car Charger won't really take you through time ­ but it will charge all your USB-powered goodies. Each Flux Capacitor Car Charger has two USB ports, each capable of charging almost any USB powered device. But it also has that beautiful Flux Capacitor light sequence we all know and love.

Retro Duo Portable NES/SNES Game System. Yes, you're reading this right: a portable version of the Retro Duo NES/SNES system. So now you can take your 8­bit NES and 16­bit SNES games on the road! The Retro Duo Portable Game System is pretty much the dream configuration for any retro gamer. Not only can you play solo, but it also hooks up to full­sized televisions as well. Use the included port adapter to connect two SNES (or equivalent) controllers.

The Dark Knight Rises Batarang Replica. Do I even need to say anything here? It's a friggin' Batarang. Frame comes ready for wall mounting and features a hinged flip­ open cover, in case you need to grab the Batarang and leave the Batcave in a hurry.

Star Wars R2­D2 Bluetooth Speaker. R2­D2 has all sorts of surprises inside him. He's got plans and a message from Princess Leia, Luke's lightsaber, rocket jets, and a real mean streak (hey, he flat out kills another droid in an episode of Clone Wars). He also has a bunch of these speakers inside, so he always has a gift ready for new people he meets. Plug him into a USB port, and he'll charge up. When he's charged, either pair the speaker with your Bluetooth­enabled phone or plug your audio device into Artoo's standard 3.5mm audio jack. Artoo will light up, literally, including the familiar indicator light and some new funky blue "underdome" lighting he's had installed. Since he's Bluetooth, you can even make calls on him when you have your phone paired up. But his raison d'etre is to play music for you.

Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise Flying Disc. Springtime at Starfleet Academy is just like any other higher learning institution. The grass is painted green, the Orion students are green, and sometimes even the space bologna is green! But the main similarity is how the student bodies spend more and more time outside: studying, socializing, and throwing their Constitution-­class flying discs all over campus. And now you can relive your time at the Academy with your very own Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise Flying Disc. Each disc is pretty much just what it looks like. There's the saucer section which is the part you throw and also has the rest of the ship attached (made of foam). It's the most fun you can have without anti­-gravity, a bottle of Saurian brandy, and four Tribbles!
