USB gizmos

I’ve mentioned before that I have a sick fascination with weirdo USB devices that you plug into your computer. Found a whole website dedicated to this recently! It just blows my mind the things that people have invented. Here’s a few faves:

A USB Massage Ball – because that’s totally not going to seem inappropriate at work! And it has a car to USB adapter – for all the safe drivers in the world!

USB Mini Lava Lamp – Ok, it’s tacky and I totally want one.

USB Plasma Ball – Ok, I totally want this too. I’ve been fascinated with these since I was little.

A car shaped USB Ashtray – Cuz you gotta smoke while you watch your internet porn!

I think my favorite section is for the USB mice – the floating Homer Simpson one is a particular favorite.

But if you really need to pimp out your workspace, may I suggest this?

Happy shopping!

Crazy hair

I’m in need of a haircut, which is what led me to look at this. The last haircut I got was months ago – I’d asked for it to be chin length and it ended up being cut to my mid-ear. Yeah, it was pretty short. So I’ve been growing it out because the hair on the top of my head was about an inch long.

Anyway, Styledash has a link today to some of the craziest hair styles ever created.

Let’s hope that when I get my haircut this week, it doesn’t turn out like any of these!

Everybody must get stoned

For reasons that I can’t explain, that song is stuck in my head. So I’m spreading my earworm (with a hell of a lineup) to you all:

Anyway, ever wondered what would happen if Mike Ditka (you know, Da Coach) decided to go into the wine business? Well now you can find out! I’m particularly hoping to find a bottle of his kick-ass red wine. Seriously, that’s what it’s called.

Also, good news Lost fans – there’s an end date set! I think this is a brilliant decision – I LOVED the first season and I think it got off track. And I think it got off track because they have a mythology worked out but don’t know how long to take to get there, so they throw in random weird episodes. Giving them a set number of episodes is the best way to wrap it up. So hopefully we’ve all been watching for a reason and they give it a good send off!
