We are easily distracted and we have Nerf guns. Mark chose a classic “Halo-style” (as he puts it) mod for his Nerf gun.

Complete with a practical sight MacGyvered from a Wifi antenna bracket and a mini flashlight for those night missions to the soda machine.

I chose to adorn my gun in “Office Camo” to keep it from being easily spotted among the rest of the mess on my desk.

With fully functional office supplies available to the geek on the go for that last minute conference call with the customer. Note the top mounted pen slash gun sight with offset portable toothbrush. The circa 1950’s style pair of scissors are taped expertly fastened to the rear for those close up situations where darts are not an option. Staple TPS reports to your boss’ forehead with the conveniently located, rapid loading Swingline stapler. Once dragged into a meeting, pretend to care about project cost metrics and upcoming golf tournaments by taking notes on the perfectly accessable Post-it pad. The business card holder makes leaving the scene of a crime meeting a painless procedure by allowing you to release your contact info to all participants in a quick swoop of handouts as you dash out of the room to the comfort of your own four walls.

I’m not sure why that turned into an advertisement. Sorry about that.

Ah. A vacation. We’re less or more moved in to our new house now. (I guess the grand finale will come when our new lawn mower arrives from Amazon. Wow. I ordered a lawn mower from Amazon.com. ::sigh::) I’ve only just begun setting up the new lab which will probably take me to somewhere in mid 2007. So Sneakers will have to remain unfinished in that LEGO bucket for a little longer.

Oh. Vacation. Right. So we’re going to Myrtle Beach for a few days next week, which will be a nice change from the work at home and the work at … work. This will also put myself and sweetness alone, where we can finally get in some real quality time. A secondary plus is that we have tickets to see Les Claypool, for whom I have a great respect for as a very creative bassist.

Disrespectfully yours,
Mud
