The Geek Must-Have Gadgets

What is your must-have gadget? - Galen Gruman, in an article for InfoWorld has made a list. You might want to check it to see if anything there matches your budget. Things like a Apple MacBook Pro just have a passing mention. Galen Gruman also lists why you must have it.

My must-have gadget has been on the market for a while. It consists mostly of air - it’s the BOSU. The BOSU is a piece of exercise equipment that stands for “Both Sides Utilized”. It works the muscles for balance and is wonderful if you are into sports like skiing. The BOSU is really suitable for any athletic activity.

I have gone through three separate BOSU exercise routines. On all three occasions, the BOSU won - I was feeling the aches and pains for a couple of days afterwards. The aches and pains happened every time. It quickly dispelled any self deception that I was fit. I think it is a terrific piece of equipment for working the core muscles. The only thing is that it is expensive but it is on my radar as a ‘geeky must have’. For now, I will just have to stay and exercise with what I use to sit at the computer. The fit ball is like the BOSU predecessor - perhaps not officially ‘geeky’ but close enough.
