Another good source in the quest for superiority in the office arms race is here.

Those with a historical bent might prefer offerings from here, but these are all outdoor gadgets.

So, anyway, my daughter in law has one of those jobs where you get so mind-numbingly bored that all you can do to preserve your sanity is to surf the web while the supervisor is absent. (Now, just where might I have run into such a thing before?)

She came across this site. Thinkgeek.com. It is the most wonderful website ever! It has something for everyone: Taylor, Vivaldi, Marc, Marc, Ricky, Nekochan, Queen Zee, Marc (Funny how he keeps showing up), TinMouse, Geoff, Patricia (in case she ever wants to go work at a school that makes a real difference

), Uncle Duke, Ricky (again), Nate, Spartacus, and anyone else that I haven't thoguht of.

But, and here is my point, I have already picked out my Christmas present this year: JOY! Or, failing that...

So, put the vapor coolers on your credit cards and get shopping, folks!

Oh man!!! Too cool!! I could get a bunch of magnets there ... and eat my way through a ton of plain cake doughnuts at the same time!!!

I want it for the UMPC that I will be buying sooooooon! It will just have to do until the flying cars arrive.

Anyone check on that back order list, recently?

It's coming down to the Fujitsu and an ASUS model that Bet Buy has on display. HP's recent release is making a quick pass on the inside track, however.

I hardly ever put this much thought into buying a computer. But there are such shiny bright things on the UMPC front that I want to optimax my choice.

It was featured a few seasons back in a CSI episode where they used the fingerprints on the desk to decode what the person typed to crack the case.

I've been a loyal Think Geek customer for years. In fact, I love this T-Shirt (http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/itdepartment/595d/). I show it to people I'm interviewing who claim to have database design skills. If they don't laugh and agree on the spot, they don't get considered.

If they pass that test, then I ask them what the three most important aspects of database design. If they don't answer, "Normalize, normalize, normalize", they're on the street

ACK!! Are you suggesting that we users are clueless?? Well, double ACK with chocolate on it. (And whipped cream too ... so there!)

Maybe they just don't have a sense of humor.
