Today’s digital gift guide lists some gadget gifts for Christmas. A few highlights:
“Rock Band,” a video game that lets you pretend you’re in a big-time band such as the Rolling Stones, the Clash or Nirvana.
The reality continues with solo mode, aka “David Lee Roth mode.” Switch this on when your ego gets too big and you think you’re too good for your pretend band. Trip to rehab not included.
A bionic eye, able to magnify anything up to 200 times its original size and show it on your TV screen. Teenage boys should not be trusted with the bionic eye.
A kids’ camera, in durable plastic casing that makes it almost indestructible. Kids can take pictures and show them on your TV.
Technology has come so far. Back in the day, you could bore your kids to death with slide shows. Now they can bore you to death with pictures of Barbie dolls.
A Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock, which goes off with a 113-decibel racket and comes with a bed-shaking unit.
Simulate the feeling of awaking in the middle of Alderwood mall on Black Friday. Then hit the snooze button and tell yourself it was all just a nightmare.
