This site has reviews of a wide range of headphones & earbuds. I'm looking for some new, comfortable earbuds that have good outside noise decibel reduction. If they come with a case too, that's cool; otherwise I just wrap them around the iPod...Among the best brands are Shure, Bose and Etymotic. I've also been happy with some Sony's in the past.UPDATE: I got some very sweet Etymotic research

Sure you have to sit through a commercial now & again (the playback controls show you when!) but I approve of this approach to online rebroadcasting of television episodes at good quality, largely in their entirety. Where else can I (legally) systematically rewatch every episode of the first season of Buck Rogers, Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot, or The A-Team online without installing any

A Phantom Keystroker/Mouse mover is one of the best office pranks I've seen in a while, though the motion sensitive chicken we have at our office is also good, as is remotely logging into someone's computer and triggering audio from their speakers....

In the fine tradition of the Fensler Film GI Joe parodies, Fatal Farm (same guy? page design seems suspiciously similar) has taken it upon themselves to recut & superimpose random things on some of the best/worst tv shows from the 1980'sI think the Dynasty one is my favorite...NOTE: marginally NSFW for Ducktales/Zoobilee Zoo, the rest are ok but fairly messed up subject matter nonetheless.

I've moved towards a sweet tiki theme to my new office at PFI so naturally having a trash can that continues the vibe would be cool...They also have some very cool Carved Tikis (traditional, totems, masks),etc that would make good decor items as well.

While it's cool that there's ways to run classic gaming systems emulated on modern hardware, it's still not the same unless you have classic gaming hardware controllers to use.Here's a list of controllers and adapters I'd love to have so I can play many old games using native controllers. If you're thinking of getting me any of these as a gift, be sure to get both an adapter and a controller

I like big bottles and I can not lie. Who knew there were so many sizes? I thought it just came in "bottle", "box", and "gallon jug" ;) Actually I'd heard of Magnum & Jeroboam but not all the other line of ancient royalty-related wine bottle-sizes.--- snip --- Below is a list of the 13 sizes. SPLIT- Made only for Sparkling Wine. The187 ml. Size is equal to a quarter of a standard bottle.
