The home moisturizer for geeks: R2-D2 USB Humidifier.

Simply put, if you’re an older geek (or one that’s older at heart), Star Wars is somewhat of a staple experience in your life — especially the “real” older geeks. Growing up through the 70′s and 80′s seeing Star Wars unfold for the first time is something magical that few will ever experience in any form for a long time to come. While you may not be able to fully recreate the splendor and awe Star Wars first had on you as a younger human, you can at least start your children out young. I don’t know if it’s just me or what. But I seem to have this stigma of humidifiers being associated with young children and sleeping. So….

The R2-D2 Humidifier. If you’re going to safely gas your kids with H2O, why not do it in the manner in which you wish you were brought up — as a geek. The only caveat I can find is that it is USB powered meaning you’ll have to have a computer of some sort next to a small child. Or if you wish, one of those USB AC adapters will work just as well. Really, there’s nothing not to like. Just be careful with all of that moisture if you do choose to put it next to a computer. Water and electronics aren’t exactly BFF’s.
