More stuff I don't need but want
- Toolmonger Finds: Snap-on’s New Micro Pneumatics — small pneumatic tools.
- Yoggie, the miniature security appliance. Not sure why, it is just cool.
- A bookshelf made of…books.. Wonderfully recursive.

Stuff I should have blogged a while ago
- Need a new tiny PC for carrying around — OQO 2.0? One of the small Sonys? I don’t need a desktop replacement, just something small for classroom/cafe use. If it is big, I won’t carry it.
- Need to set up an Amazon store. Maybe for Halloween.
- Microsoft Robotics Software — interesting, tho it requires download of so much crap.
