Boing!

I have thought of getting one of these before, but I suppose my instinct in the end led to a better judgment. After all, it's not a particularly good sight if someone walks into your room or office and you have one of these on the desk. The first reaction would be, wow that's uhh unique. Play around, press it a bit, then eventually, start wondering about the owner with thoughts like, "What a loser!" or "Nice!" depending on perhaps your gender.

Seriously though, some statistics need to be done to see whether a product as this sells well. I know the adage "sex sells" but this is more of a "catchy ah hah that's cool but I probably won't buy it though I'll take a picture of it" product than an actual, well, uh hem kind of product. I mean, if I wanted to get anywhere with girls I probably wouldn't want them to see a mouse pad like this; instead a cute dog pic or fancy Van Gogh would do much better. Not that a mouse pad will decide whether she ends up with you or not. If only it were that simple.

By the way, hopefully it's obvious where the gel is...you know, you really wouldn't want to rest your mouse hand on uh, eyelashes! I should start referencing pics if I didn't take them...got this from Jenny's Flickr post of her recent trip back to Taiwan.

This weekend sucks!

So the Yankees are facing an uphill battle against the Angels. Hope they pull out of this one. The game today was pretty intense. Down 5-0 then went up 6-5 only to be beaten 11-7. Ugh! I don't know, they just lacked the stamina to pull things through today. Then again, I don't fault them. NY has a pretty tense weekend with the bomb alert, and I pray that all will be well. After all, in my heart NYC is still my home. This weekend is Fall Break. Unfortunately for me, the weather is bad so I probably can't go hiking, and then my boss told me Thursday that we have work to do over the weekend. Right now I am busy testing the microwave/rf generators for our quantum dot gate pulsing. We need to make sure that we can maintain the pulse form sent down to the sample with minimal distortion, reflection, attenuation and loss. This is made particularly difficult due to the size of our metal gates (which I made), on the order of 100 nm or less in width and less than 20 nm in thickness. S...

Coffee!
