Holiday Gift Tip 3: The Big Bang Theory on DVD

– 03 December 2011Posted in: Advent Calendar, Tech stuff

“Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall.”
Larry Wilde, author ‘The Merry Book of Christmas’

What: Do you know anyone who is interested in computers, Star Trek, physics, computer games, Lord of The Rings, Sci-Fi or comic books? Then this is a perfect gift for christmas. The Big Bang Theory is my favourite TV-series currently, and even more so after I got the opportunity to sit in the audience of a taping when I was in LA earlier this fall. Four nerdy guys, one cool and funny girl, lots of nerdy humour. What can go wrong? In this package you get seasons 1-4.

Holiday Gift Tip 2: Steve Jobs Biography

– 02 December 2011Posted in: Advent Calendar, Tech stuff

“Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect.”
- Oren Arnold

What: What would the world look like without iphones and ipads? There is no doubt that Steve Jobs revolutionized our way of defining interaction. This new biography, which was published shortly after his passing, has been praised by the critics. I believe it is an important book for all of us to read. A great christmas gift to any Apple fan!

The Advent Calendar is a special calendar which counts down to Christmas. It is a tradition which originates from Germany in the early 19th century and had back then primarily a religious meaning. Today, in Sweden, the Advent Calendar comes in several forms: a TV-series for children, chocolate calendars etc.

Here on TechGirl I will present my own Advent Calendar. Starting on December 1st, and every day until Christmas, I will give you tips for the perfect Holiday gift to put under the tree (with a tech twist ofcourse!).
