A Perfect Gift For Dad

I love technology. I also love the arts. And where the two meet is simply divine.

I get my passion for both from my dad. He was a photographer in the Navy, then a wedding photographer. Shortly after i was born, he moved into the printing industry and owned a successful business for over 30 years (which is still going strong today).

Dad always saw the potential and importance of personal computers. I remember the big unveiling of the Apple II at his office and being the only person in high school history class to write my term paper with a word processor. In the early 90s, I was the only person in my college dorm to have a computer. Granted, it took up 75% of my allotted desk space…but I was pretty cool!

So for Father’s Day this year, I was excited to come up with the perfect give for dear ol’ dad. Check it out:

Now I know digital photo frames have been around for a while but it just dawned on my what a perfect gift this would be for my dad this year. Shortly after Father’s Day, we will be celebrating his retirement as a family. I’ve asked my brothers and sister to send me old and new family photos to fill up the frame.

Seriously, this is the coolest frame ever. It holds up to 8,000 photos, plays videos, music, and photo slideshows. It also features a clock, calendar, and alarm, as well as a programmable on/off timer. I know dad will get a hoot out of it.
