Geekiest Show Ever 327 – They Say It’s Your Birthday…

February 20, 2020September 17, 2020 | Mike McPeek

This week we celebrate Mike’s birthday by looking at people born on his birthday, tech as old as he is and reminiscing about the “Good Ole Days”.

Instead of picks we find presents for Mike. Elisa has four for Mike to pick from. In the first column is two gaming chairs to chose from. One is the Healgen Back Massage Gaming Chair and the second is the X Rocker Pro. In the second column is either Dan the Sausageman Northwest Necessities Gourmet Gift Basket or The $58 Gift Box . Melissa is concerned about Mike being able to see so she would get him 40-Watt Equivalent A19 Non-Dimmable Blue Laser and Bright White Dual Mode LED Light Bulb . For himself Mike would buy a Cow Canvas Wall art .

Tech that is as old as Mike

A Brilliant Idea: Nick Holonyak, Jr. and the LED

Having survived Black Friday, the gang regales each other with their hard-fought online purchases and price victories. Then Elisa tells us her tale of woe and —ultimately success— of purchasing her father’s new iMac and her own new MacBook Pro 16-inch. What an adventure!

Then on to our GSE Play Money Picks™. Our imaginary range was $200.00 to $600.00. First, Melissa wants to seek some relaxation from life so she chose a Master Massage Stationary Massage Table.

Next Elisa just wants to rest after setting up her MacBook so she picked a Casper Mattress.

Finally Mike is dreaming of summer so he can go riding on a Razor Ecosmart Metro Electric Scooter.

Melissa also recommends a Bluetooth bathroom scale and its related smartphone app by RENPHO
