via Take One Onion, the most desirable computer desk ever. I like the way that every single mac product is associated with it - you could put an iPod classic on this flat surface. Or a Macbook! Or an iMac! - except the overly serious Mac Pro and the overly cheap Mac Mini. I suppose that realistically if you are spending that much on a desk, you probably use Macs.

(Watching Chinese government official speaking on recent unpleasantness.)

Self: Yeah, those Buddhist monks. Legendary hellraisers.
Other: Indeed. Didn't they provide security at that Rolling Stones gig where that dude got stabbed?
Self: Altamont, yes.

Accumulation of ageing unposted links:

Single-handed XBox controller. Glorious.

Etch-a-sketch clock. Quite, quite glorious.

Jack Thompson versus the Florida bar. The Florida bar is a bit miffed that his last submission was made up of "swastikas, kangaroos in court, a reproduced dollar bill, cartoon squirrels, Paul Simon, Paul Newman, Ray Charles, [and] a handprint with the word 'SLAP!' written under it". Belter.

The first game for Microsoft Surface. Is it impressive? It is. Does it justify Surface? It does not. Has somebody else used the "100,000 Fireflies" gag. Damn.

Much more impressive table PC Mod.

SXSW's seven most terrible Web 2.0 ideas, with an honourable mention for Miss Boo.

In a belated tribute to Gary Gygax, a survivor describes Cyborg Commando.

Oh, and bonus picture.

Engadget's best of the worst from CES. Just to show that sometimes HOTT LADY just isn't quite enough.

Impractical but wonderful Cobra Commander flash drive. Remember, although it is now a flash drive, it was once a man. ONCE A MAN
