eregyrnApparently, Merriam-Webster online has crowned "w00t" as its Word of the Year for 2007. (Really? Not "lolcat"?)
Not actually in time for the holidays, but... you need a Boba Fett-shaped 1gb (or up to 4gb) flash drive, right? Sure you do! (I really don't get why the Darth Vader, Stormtrooper, and R2D2 ones have the little ears.)
Never let it be said that Harvard doesn't know how to have fun: ROFLcon, taking place (tentatively) April 25-26, 2008. What? you say. From the website: "This is the ongoing record of an effort to assemble every famous internet meme or celebrity to come to Harvard in the spring of 2008 to attend a conference. Presumably, they're going to talk about fame online. But with Homestar Runner and Dinosaur Comics coming and Goatse on the guest list, getting there is going to be about 80% of the fun." (Guest list also includes: XKCD, someone from 4chan, Red vs. Blue, Chuck Norris Facts, LOLcats Bible, Anil Dash from 6A, and many more!) Man, I'm tempted...

The little flash drives are so cute! I guess I should have expected something like that would happen.

Date: 2007-12-13 05:33 pm (UTC)And now I have given it enough thought that I must do so... In fact, I have the Lego Jabba's Palace at home, with the leggo Han in Carbonite, that would make an excellent casing!

Date: 2007-12-13 05:44 pm (UTC)I'm as pleased as the next person if I manage to make a cool, cheap knock-off of something expensive (let me show you the necklace I made for $20 that is nearly indistinguishable from the one that a catalogue wanted to sell me for like $180; and I actually DID IT, more to the point). But I also know how many intended projects there are littering my house.
I grant you, I'm not up on what flash-drives cost these days. But I look at that and think to myself that $60 is in the realm of what I'd be willing to shell out for a 1gb flash drive in a cool case that I didn't have to construct myself.
