NASA: Recent Endeavour Mission Photos
A friend of mine who works for NASA sent me these pictures from a recent Endeavour mission.
I’ve reduced the size of the images to help with load times but I do have very high-resolution versions that I’ll put up at a later time. Enjoy!
Helvetica Coffee Mug
Coffee, like Helvetica, is an acquired taste. To satisfy both habits, the nice folks at Veer created this white ceramic mug:
As you can see, the mug features four weights of the timeless font – in corresponding caffeinated shades – and a sensibly squared handle.
I totally want one of these and I shall add it to my “want list” for upcoming purchases.
IronKey 4 Gig Endurance Team
Last week I posted a pretty detailed review of the IronKey 4 GB USB Flash Drive.
After even more testing, I still stand by my review that anyone who places a high value on protecting their privacy and their data will be extremely happy with the IronKey.
Yesterday afternoon I received a care package in the form of a t-shirt from the nice folks at IronKey.
Here is the front of the shirt with the IronKey logo on the front left:
and here is the back of the shirt with the words “IronKey 4 Gig Endurance Team”:
Yep, you’ve guessed it. I’m now part of the IronKey 4 Gig Endurance Team - w00t!
Only staff members, IronKey beta testers and geek-o-holics like me can get a hold of these shirts or if you meet the development team at a trade show you might score one.
I’m sure in the near future you’ll be able to purchase an IronKey t-shirt. I love geek t-shirts.
The shirt is a little wrinkled from the shipping as you can see in the photos but it’s nothing that a quick run in the washer or a warm iron can’t fix. I’m just happy to have this shirt.
Thanks again IronKey! You guys are great.
In Search Of Airborne Jr. Grape Flavor
It’s not that often that I call out to my loyal Geek With Laptop readers but today I need your help.
I’m in search of Airborne Jr. grape flavor and I can’t seem to find it at any local area store. They have every flavor except grape.
Here is what the box looks like:
After a little Google searching, I can purchase it directly from the Airborne website but I would need to get 6 tubes for approximately $41.94 USD and I only want one or two.
If you can find two boxes at a local store near you, I would be happy to pay your actual cost plus shipping to me.
My goal is to try and keep the entire deal under $25.00 USD otherwise I would just order directly from the manufacturer.
Let me know if you can or want to help me. Thanks in advance.
How Soda Gets All Over My Monitor
It’s things like this picture below that make me spit my soda all over my monitor:
Between the above picture and the video of the cute baby in my “Health Benefits Of Humor And Laughter” post, I’ve got plenty to laugh and smile about. Enjoy!
What’s Your Caption?
Today is “what’s your caption?” day here at Geek With Laptop.
So how does “what’s your caption?” work some of you might be asking yourself.
It’s actually pretty easy. Take a look at the picture below of a wooden model in a random pose and comment with what you think he’s doing.
I’ll even start off with my thoughts on what he might be doing: Running away from a fire.
Wooden models are so much fun. They can be used for all sorts of things. They can be bent, twisted and molded just like an “old school” Gumby action figure.
There is no right or wrong answer. The idea to to let your creative juices flow.
Depending on what kind of response I get from this post, I might make this a weekly feature and post all sorts of things and have my readers suggest interesting captions.
