I need this:

It’s an impulsive day. Well, not that impulsive because I pretty much walked out of the house this morning and said to The Little Red Haired Girl, “I’m going to buy something today.” The impulsive part is that, once I have that idea in my head, it’s like I’ve given myself permission to do it, and I can’t let it go. So, I was going to buy a flatscreen LCD monitor to replace the gigantic CRT at home, but that seems way too practical. So instead I am going to buy these things:

The Flip Camcorder is a small, lightweight recorder that does up to 60 minutes of 640×480 video. It’s built for taking short video wherever you go then uploading and sharing quickly. Even cooler, there’s this underwater case that you can get for $40. If/when I pull the trigger on this thing (I’m making myself wait until after lunch), look forward to waterskiing video all summer!

I mean, come on. How can you NOT buy it?

The t-shirts are not cheap, but it’s for a good cause (or at least against a stupid cause).

Via BoingBoing: It’s a pencil eraser… that looks like a delete key! Seriously though. I want it.

It’s called booksling. Keep your pens and pencils with your book, and mark your place. Genius. I must have it. No, I must have 7.
Little Red Haired Girl? Lady E? Hello? Anyone out there? Can you hear me? I must have it.

There is a Simple Tech 1GB USB flash drive for $15.90 after rebate and a 2GB version for $25.47 after rebate at Buy.com. Shipping is free, although if you’re in TN watch out for taxes (they seem to have a warehouse here). I got the 1GB version, and it’s pretty good for the price. It’s not fast, and it’s about standard size for a flash drive, but it works and is reliable. And cheap, if you’re willing to play the rebate game. Deal ends at the end of November, I believe.

ps - I don’t work for Buy.com or anything, it’s just a good deal that I wanted to share.

Since my next big thing for school is not until Tuesday, I’ve spent much of my time today futzing around. Part of that futzing included stalking individuals on my lj flist, including fairouz, who is a member of the bentolunch community. Anyway, that discovery led me to JBox.com, which led me to realize that I desperately need this pencil case and this bento box.
