Cmon, dont tell me you don`t see something like:
If you press this button, your mouth will become a hotspot
or
A giant asteroid is heading towards your SpaceInvaders spacecraft, push the button to destroy the asteroid with a Dune-sque voice-blast
My friend Juangui sends me a great collection of geeky xmas cards. I would definitely choose this one:
I hate to give in on the Xmas-Santa-Market craze. That`s why I have waited until after the 25th to offer you these hints:
Giftmeister (interactive suggestions) Uncrate (random ideas) Mugs (it does not take so much to make a geek happy, does it?) Online stores (ThinkGeek, XtremeGeek, IWantOneOfThose, MakerSHED…) BrickAndMortar stores (Robot Village, the Wired Store… right across the street from the office!)
We all know them, c`mon, add to the list. Here are some examples to get you going:
Number of tabs opened in browser Number of virtualized OSs in a single box Number of unread emails per hour Number of unread RSSs (or number of feeds) Number of saved sites on Delicious, Pulse, whatever Number of post drafts Number of beta-invites to be accepted
Ego, money, power, abuse, restriction… shame on those who stain the “holy” teachings.

To celebrate the falling temperatures in NY, try typing “let it snow” on Google`s search box (you can even wipe the screen with your mouse) 😉
Somebody told me yesterday:
You are not complex, you just make everybody else`s life complicated
