Kymera Magic Wand
If your favorite techie is into fantasy (the kind involving wizards and dragons), here's a remote control you've got to try. The Magic Wand is a standard infrared remote control for TVs, stereos, and the like -- except it uses gestures based on how you wave the wand to control the equipment. There are 13 gestures to which you can assign the IR codes your equipment uses, so you get to choose what your "spells" do.
