Gift Ideas for a Geek Baby

Every new program is launched first in beta mode, so why not apply that to baby too?

The developers will be happy that they've got a working model here. All that's left to do is unleash it on the world, so that the debugging process can begin.

Like dirty nappies; middle of the night wailing; colic...

Of course, once those little niggles are ironed out, a fully functional human being will be ready for release in alpha.  Hurray!

CMD is programmer talk for 'command'.  In the Microsoft Windows operating system, you can open anything using the 'Run CMD' directive (well, as long as you know the path once you're in there).

Your average geek knows all about their command options.  Dressing their baby in a t-shirt like this might help their parents understand what needs doing here - like feeding, washing, dressing, comforting baby etc.

Or maybe it's little geek baby who is ready to run with the commands. Playtime now!

Binary code is the hidden language of the internet. All those zeros and ones are what translates your content into something that can be read on a website.

These two baby shirts display their tags in the lexicon of developers. (And the rest will just use a binary translator!)

In blue, it reads 'baby boy'; and in pink, it's 'baby girl'. 

The white crawler infant t-shirt is slightly more risque.  It reads 'byte me', with the first word in binary. 

There is an obvious pun on the phrase 'bite me' here, with a double helping of geekiness in the spelling. In computer terms, a 'byte' is a unit of digital information.  Most things sent over the internet are broken down into these bytes, in order to transmit them.

Behind every website and application, there is the source code.

It instructs your computer on how to format all that you see; and it governs what you do. It can play songs, pop up windows, scroll content across a toolbar or throw up a message. It can do a lot more besides!

These t-shirts humorously take coding to a new level.

The first, if applied to the background of a web-page, would initiate the pop up message: Hello World!

The second apes the thought processes and actions of a newborn babe. If hungry, cry for attention etc. It can be worn by Mum and Dad, or it is available as a baby onesie (baby grow) and infant shirt.
