Small Dog Gift Giving Guide: Jim's Holiday Wish List

ByMike Moffit

LoJack for Laptops
This is a great idea to give as a gift to anyone who has a laptop. Or if you are getting someone a laptop as a gift, this is a great companion product for it. If you happen to have the bad luck of having your laptop stolen, you really up your chances for getting it returned for you when you use LoJack for laptops. You can figure out where your laptop is being used and even receive pictures via email of whoever is using the machine. It is a great price for the service that they offer.

Audio Technica Record/CD Turntable
I am showing my age here for sure, but I still have a bunch of vinyl records that I would love to be able have on my iPod without repurchasing them as CDs or downloading them from iTunes. This device will let you transfer all of your vinyl into the iPod-friendly MP3 format.

El Gato Video Capture Analog Converter
Showing my age again, but I have a lot of old home movies on VHS that I would finally love to digitize as well.

Aspyr Civilization V
I love strategy games—my favorite is StarCraft. I have heard great things about the Civilization series, and maybe if I am lucky I will be playing it over the holiday break.

Editor’s note: We’ll be featuring Small Dog staffers’ holiday wish lists here and in our newsletter Kibbles & Bytes over the next few weeks. Stop by often to find out what we think would make great gifts this holiday season! Some items may take up to 10 days to ship, so be sure to order early. SR

  • Our Alltop Info Center

    It can be daunting to try to stay on top of the endless flow of information available online. Among other tools, I use Google Reader, Socialite, and email alerts to stay on top of the topics that interest me. I recently started using “Alltop.com”:http://my.alltop.com/smalldogelectronics to help with this.

    Alltop says its purpose is to help you answer the question, “What’s happening?” in “all the topics” that interest you. They do this by collecting the headlines of the latest stories from the best sites and blogs that cover a topic. They then group these collections — “aggregations” — into individual web pages. Then they display the five most recent headlines of the information sources as well as their first paragraph.

    We created an Alltop so we could stay on top of the latest Apple news. Many of us make it habit to get to work and fire up our page first thing in the morning. Click here to see our Apple-news themed Alltop page, or to create your own! “Alltop.com”:http://my.alltop.com/smalldogelectronics
