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

  • Fenway Pahk Turns 100!

    In honor of the Red Sox’ home opener tonight at “*Fenway Park*”:http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/bos/ballpark/index.jsp (or “Pahk” as the true locals say), it’s a fitting time to celebrate 100 years of baseball in the historic ballpark.

    On April 20, 1912, the Red Sox hosted the New York Highlanders, who would soon become the Yankees (and arch rivals) the next year. The Red Sox won the game 7-6, battling through 11 innings. (Also of note: the game and stadium fanfare was overshadowed by the recent sinking of the Titanic.) Of course, the Red Sox went on to win their first World Series that year.

    Today, Fenway Park is known for the Green Monster (the unusually high left field fence), and other eccentricities, such as “The Triangle” and the “Pesky Pole,” and is one of two “classic” ballparks still in use. (The other is Wrigley Field, Don’s favorite.)

    Tonight, they take on the Tampa Bay Rays. April is here, and baseball is back. Game on!
