what do I get the tech nerd who has everything?
It is our 2 yr anniversary in March and I am stumped on what to get my husband this year. His interests: coding, star wars, playing music, watching video game speed runs, and hanging out at home with me watching American Idol or Hoarders. He works 8-5 doing tech support and likes to just come home and crash. He says he is in want of nothing and really doesn't have time to do stuff with what he already has. But he already has like 3 things picked out for me so I feel like a horrible wife! I know I want to get him a subscription to a coding magazine but that's about it. Ideas? Oh and he is not an Apple fan. And my budget is about $250. Thanks in advance!

Re: what do I get the tech nerd who has everything?
I was gonna say Games magazine or another magazine subscription.
How about a few funny t-shirts. I know it isn't ovelry romantic, but I bet he would love them. Despair has some funny ones and you could always go to 80'stees or a few other online places.
I always get my DH video games, dvds, or music. I also got him a nook last year and he loved it. My DH is also really hard to shop for. Maybe you could get him a night out . . . a concert, theatre tickets, dinner out, etc.
I also have gotten him bigger ticket items like a new TV.
This! They have some great tech support t-shirts, tons of Star Wars stuff, and lots of general geek gifts that any tech nerd is bound to love. And if you can't figure out anything in particular, you could get him a gift certificate so he can pick out some things for himself. (If, by some amazing chance, he's never seen the site before, he'll think you're the most amazing person ever just for introducing him to it! It's a geek staple.)
Re: music, maybe a subscription to Rhapsody?
Re: programming magazines, I know a lot of programmers, and about the only magazine that gets rave reviews across the board is Dr. Dobb's (which is currently free during their conversion to digital-only subscriptions). If you don't know of a specific title he's interested in, you could always go with a general tech/geek title like Wired or Popular Science.
I agree with shirt and clothes idea. Especially since the traditional 2nd anniversary gift is cotton.
Huz and I went to see Paul McCartney in concert for our 2nd anniversary and bought cotton concert tees. I loved it!
