some links I felt like sharing

This may be one of the most useful shirts I have ever seen. Not only does it cover your torso (like many shirts do) but all you have to do is pull it out a bit and look down and BAM! Instant measurement conversion guide! Seriously, very very clever.
And now, some purchasable thingums from ThinkGeek:
I don't think it would be safe to leave me alone with a electronic bubble wrap keychain. I mean, the only reason I don't go absolutely nuts popping every scrap of bubble wrap that comes my way is that we reuse* the stuff, and it's less useful if it's been popped.
Here's three books it would probably also be dangerous to leave me with -- maybe moreso, because I'd be bound to want to actually try Sneaky, Sneakier, and Sneakiest Uses For Everyday Things. My inner MacGyver, indeed. ':3
And the next time someone I know is having a baby, I am so getting them this baby name book. Take it from someone who was named after a soap opera character, a science fiction name would be much cooler.
More recycling*! Need a pocket-sized guitar amp you can plug headphones into? (Useful for practicing rocking out without bugging your neighbours, I assume.) This one is made from an Altoids tin. :D I don't even play guitar, but I still think that's pretty neat.
But not as neat as this thing! :o Finally, technology has caught up with level 3 D&D mage spells. How does this thing work? You just clip it onto any old notepad and start writing or doodling, and it saves it. That's mind-bogglingly COOL.
And now, for the classy-yet-virile man in your life (...if you have one): Testosterone cufflinks! (Caffeine cufflinks also available.)
Finally, three shirts I would love to buy for Rodney McKay, if only he were real and not (if he were real) in another galaxy: Pi, Phi, and e. I wouldn't buy him any of the many scary caffeinated products sold by ThinkGeek (did you know you can get strips of caffeine to put on your tongue? or caffeinated soap? Madness! I would so be buying them if the doctors hadn't made me quit my insane caffeine addiction...) because that would interfere with the medical regulation of his intake of coffee and prescribed stimulants. Seriously.
P.S. Did you know that Powerbar is now available as a gel? I don't think they should be able to call it a bar. I saw some at the drug store this morning. Check it out on their website. Pretty wild, eh?
*"Reduce Reuse Recycle and join the loop!" *makes bunny ears behind her head with her fingers* I am such a dork. XD
