Just like wannabe-MacGyvers need multitools, any wannabe geek needs a special pen – the more things it does, the better, extra points if they facilitate his interaction with his beloved gadgets.

The Ultimate 5-in-1 Geek Pen doesn’t seem exactly “ultimate”, but it qualifies as a pretty sweet thing nonetheless. It’s average size, but it manages to cram a lot of things in a small volume: a ballpoint pen, a stylus, a flexible-shaft flashlight, an UV light and a red laser pointer.

Don’t be underwhelmed, not everything needs to play mp3s and have an USB connection. Just think of the fun you’ll have with a cat and a laser! Plus, you know, tapping important things on your touchscreen and all that.
(Seriously, you just want to tease the cat while you’re writing to-do lists, admit it.)
