External hard drive is definitely good, Crackberry Bold (I just couldn't get the hang of texting on an iPhone), and this wine opener that doesn't pierce the cork, Hippie-insta-bag, Bore Snake.

For Ma's birthday in April, I bought her an ipod nano (4th gen, 8gig) along with some foldable dj headphones.

When she went away and forgot to take it with her last month, I borrowed these for the week. Oh wow. I had forgotten the joy of bus journeys with soundtrack. I used to go everywhere with my walkman, and later with my portable cd player. I even had a very early, pre-ipod mp3 player (a Zepp, which was very stylish and came in a little case, but was huge compared to modern players and could only fit about 15 songs on it :P)*. but i only used that for a short while. I haven't had portable music as a fixture in my life for almost a decade. I used to walk for miles with my headphones on, went everywhere with music.

So, I have decided when Dad's money comes through I am going to treat myself to an I-pod nano and some good headphones (I hate those stupid little ear piece things). I can't wait!


[eta] *actually, thinking bout it, it may have been a Yepp, not Zepp....can't recall now.

iPhone 3G and stereo bluetooth headset hands down for me. I'm also pretty partial to my cheap, but entirely capable, Acer laptop.

I have the same one, lumberjim

I have that same Leatherman squirt.

Completely useful. Between that and my mini-maglite, I can get things fixed anywhere.

If I had a Creative Zen I am sure it would be my favorite gadget.

and if a bore snake can be a gadget then let me just add a decent camera, the ds2 and the wii fit to my wish list of favorite gadgets

it is know in my family as "the tool"

If i leave it in the wrong pair of pants or forget it, I feel totally weird. like the weight of it in my left front pocket has become a part of the natural weight of my body, and I am off balance if its not there.
