I couldn’t resist, with the upcoming Mother’s Day holiday right around the corner, to post up some “geeky” gifts that those of us attached to a computer all day could give their moms. I’m not one for flowers, herbal lotions, chocolates, or any of that mainstream boring stuff.

I like to be different…

Which will become apparent after you read the Top 10 Geeky Mother’s Day Gifts For 2008. I hope you enjoy it, as there really are some cool gifts here, and best of all, most of them are affordable (for the nickel shooters among us).
