Having a bunch of dangling power cords seems to be standard issue for a geek these days. With all our gadget goodies (iPod, cell, Bluetooth headset) needing a daily re-charge it's an unavoidable situation. However, we have recently located a small accessory that can provide some much needed organization to your power cord clutter. Another one to file under "Why didn't I think of that?" the Socket Pocket is an easy way to simultaneously store and charge your cell phone, PDA, MP3 player and other gadgets. As you can see, Socket Pocket keeps items held in place directly beside the electrical socket while they charge. You just replace your current outlet plate with the Socket Pocket. It's that easy - just unscrew the existing plate and put the Socket Pocket in its place - voila! Dangling cord clutter gone. * Replaces your current electrical outlet plate * Overall Dimensions: 6"W x 1.75"D x 4.5"H * Pocket Dimensions: 3"W x 1.75"D * White or Tan color choice * Does not include socket plate...

These are incredibly flavored caffeinated cinnamon morsels of pure coding bliss. That said, the only problem with Penguin Reds is that they are not red (they are white with red speckles). If they were red, then we could all waltz around the world with our Super Powered Kung Foo and truly declare 'I took the red pill'. For now, you'll just have to buy the shirt and hope nobody calls you on it. Three penguin mints are equivalent to about 1 coke in terms of caffeine. There are about 75 mints per tin. Drop a cinnamon penguin red in a bawls if you want to get devilishly serious (actually, we've named this concoction the 'fiery blue bawls') (Penguin mints are sugarfree and contain sorbitol and aspartame) Sorry if that ruins your day, but they are still damn good. Your choice of a single tin or a 4-pack. See less

Here's the truth, ladies and gentlemen; we really hate to tell you this, but we feel we must. The entire Star Wars saga was shot with severely distorting lenses. It's how George Lucas saved money for the special effects (and shot the whole original trilogy in his basement). That's right, the average size of an actor in Star Wars was about 7" tall - which means, these SD Plush characters are actually almost life size! Each one is officially licensed by Lucasfilm and crafted by only the finest plush-clone engineers Kamino has to offer. They are huggable and throwable and small enough to hide in a back pack or on your desk. Chewie even has a functional pouch on his bandolier! And if you are worried about the size, just remember Yoda's wise words: See less

Before the advent of the microprocessor geeks lived pretty boring lives. For one thing there was no WOW, and that of course meant people got a lot more done. But on the other hand doing pretty much everything was substantially slower. Want to look up some information? You had the robust Dewey Decimal System and files of card catalogs to wade through. Need to heat up some food? Try 400º for 55 minutes. And video games... don't even get us started. Through this terrible dark technology period the mechanical slide rule was the one gleam of hope that true geeks could cling to. Here was a simple device with one sliding part that could do complex mathematical calculations in moments. Multiplication, division, roots, logarithms, and even trigonometry could be performed with ease. But as technology marched forward with sophisticated computers and graphing pocket calculators the lowly slide rule was forgotten... left unused in attic boxes and yard sales, its contribution to aviation, space...

If you're looking for a low-cost calculator but want a unit that's sturdier than most, then the Texas Instruments TI1795SV may be your ideal choice. It offers basic math operations without the frills that you may never need. Plus, it has a combination solar/battery power supply for long battery life and easy reading in any lighting condition. The TI1795SV is a slightly larger and sturdier version of the Texas Instruments TI1706 solar calculator. Like the TI1706, the TI1795 offers functions for square root, percentages, plus and minus values, and memory. However, the TI1795 is designed as a mini desktop calculator, so its eight-character LCD is larger and easier to read, and the unit overall has a weightier and more substantial feel. Although it's too large to fit in a shirt pocket, the TI1795SV fits comfortably in a coat pocket or a purse. Use it at home, work with it at the office, or take it to the grocery store or anywhere you need quick and easy calculations. --John Frederick Moore See less

Did you know that emperor penguins, unlike most birds which breed in the spring, breed in the winter? Timing is everything - since emperor penguin chicks are born in the winter, by the time they are finally old enough to hunt for fish on their own, the relatively warm Antarctic summer has begun to break up the ice surrounding the nesting ground, bringing the open water closer and making for a shorter trek to the sea. Our majestic emperor penguin ornament is exquisitely detailed and lightly flocked to be soft to the touch. Stands 3.75" tall. See less
