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.

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!

Welcome to the team | Dustin

Hello fellow nerds and nerdettes! Dustin here! The newest addition to the LTNL family! I know you have lots of questions about who I am, where I come from and what makes me the nerd I am today. So allow myself to introduce....myself.

As I said, my name is Dustin and I was born and raised in Jefferson City, MO.For as long as I can remember, superheroes, comic books and science fiction have always been apart of my life. My dad and uncles read comics when they were kids and some even still read them to this day. I remember being Superman two years in a row for Halloween and I never missed an episode of the TMNT cartoons on Saturday mornings. That was really the beginning of the "nerditude".

My cousins and I would play ninja turtles for hours. Whether it be with all the action figures we had or making our own bandanas and weapons and hitting the back yard to fight off the evil Shredder and his foot soldiers. I never actually knew that they were based off of a pretty violent comic book until I got a little older. I loved the movies. I still do. But then, something happened. A muscle bound cyborg, protecting a 13 year old kid, shooting big guns and riding a motorcycle changed the way I would look at sci-­fi. Yes, the terminator. My all time favorite movie, Terminator 2, was my first experience with not just one of the best action heroes of all time, but to a movie franchise I cherish to this day. Sure, some may not be as good as others but, that's what happens with a franchise that's as old as I am. Another franchise I fell in love with took a little time to develop. Star Wars came along when I was around 11. And, like almost every other fan of Star Wars, Boba Fett became my favorite character. A man of few words with one of the most badass ships, the Slave 1, and no regard for life. How do you not like someone like that? I think that's why I like the Punisher, as well. He'd rather shoot a criminal in the face than give them the time of day. As time has gone on and more comic book movies, TV shows and games are being released, being a nerd has never been more difficult. But I wouldn't have it any other way!
