Gift ideas for hacker types?
sidsavara: I own "How to get rich" from Felix Dennis (suggested by someone else). I was a little disappointed in it.Instead, if you DO want to buy them a book, I recommend Tim Ferris - The Four Hour Work Week or Getting Things Done by David Allen.Both those books are enjoyable for their content and suggestions, and also for a relatively scientific approach to showing why their methodologies work - which I think is why they both resonated so much with me.I agree with the wishlist comment as well.  For me personally, I have told my friends to stop giving me gifts and do likewise. I imagine I am losing some manner of social lubrication due to this decision, and compensate by sending personal emails and spending more time keeping in touch via facebook etc.I also like to send postcards when I travel, for similar purposes.I'm not saying that gift giving is selfish - but I am saying if you opt NOT to give gifts, as I do, then you need to be aware of the social ramifications and adjust accordingly.  I do not have a perfect solution to this problem yet however.
