Tech Accessory Holiday Gift Idea Day 12: Bushnell 5x20 Golf Scope Rangefinder

A perfect gift for golf enthusiasts, the 5x20 Golf Scope Rangefinder from Bushnell provides distance readings with a viewing range of 50 to 200 yards. Distance readings to the flag provide golfers with the information they need to choose the best club to execute their shot or clear a hazard. Designed for ease of use, the focus-free monocular brings objects five times closer to your eye. Meanwhile, a rangefinder reticle etched inside the monocular allows you to take immediate and accurate distance readings by lining up the reticle with the flag. The 5x20 Rangefinder is compact enough to fit in your pocket and comes with a hand-strap and drawstring pouch included. The simple and effective rangefinding monocular features an attractive titanium finish, durable construction, and carries a limited lifetime warranty from Bushnell.

Comes with a pouch and a hand strap.

Tech Accessory Holiday Gift Idea Day 11: Eureka Hand-Held Vacuum

Hand-held but very powerful, this Eureka model eliminates the hassle of lugging around a full-size vacuum for cleaning car upholstery, sofas, and carpeted stairs. A 20-foot long cord which can also be wrapped around for storage purposes, provides good reach, as does the deluxe hose that stretches to three times its length. With the crevice tool on the end of the hose, this vacuum reaches into all kinds of tight places. Its high power suction is driven by two motors. One motor provides power to the revolving brush and the other for suction. The 5.5 amp power allows this vacuum to clean deeply.

Good for any room of the house, not only the office or computer room.

 A must have for any Tom Petty fan, and this makes a perfect gift.

The collection brings together material from 1978-2007 culled from hundreds of hours of live concert recordings covering every era of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' tours and represents the best tracks as chosen by producers Tom Petty, Mike Campbell and Ryan Ulyate.

The producers made no fixes or overdubs, letting the newly mixed original recordings showcase the invention, spontaneity, craft, and the musicianship that has made Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers among the most celebrated live performers of their time. Along with powerful interpretations of their own classic hits and originals, The Live Anthology features the band tackling some of their best-loved cover material, from classics to obscure beauties to unexpected adaptations. The theme from Goldfinger, the Zombies' 'I Want You Back Again,' the Grateful Dead's 'Friend of the Devil,' early Fleetwood Mac's 'Oh Well,' Booker T. and the MGs' 'Green Onions,' James Brown's 'Good, Good Lovin' and many more. Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers travel wide, paying their musical debts through song and showing just how confidently the band moves across genres and over time.

Tech Accessory Holiday Gift Idea Day 8: Steve Jobs

I know this book received more press and reviews than any other book the second half of 2011, it still is a great read and would be a great holiday gift.

Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.

At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.

Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.
