Last night I bought one of these. I'll post some more stuff as I buy it.

My friend has a watch that does that. It's great fun in the classroom.

Joe · « **Reply #2 on:** November 12, 2006, 06:16:14 pm »

That's why I bought it. We have a bigscreen TV in our cafeteria that's used to run a repeating powerpoint of the day's announcements. I'll use the MTV button on that one.

Mm.. the ninja remote came this morning! It works with two of my four TVs, plus maybe one that's untested, but I doubt it because it's ancient++.

Killer360 · « **Reply #12 on:** November 17, 2006, 09:45:26 pm »

I think I'm going to buy that too!

Joe · « **Reply #13 on:** November 18, 2006, 02:27:34 am »

I took it to work today. It was a real hit befopre we opened (maintence was really slow turning our water on).

Miamiandy · « **Reply #14 on:** November 18, 2006, 11:12:48 am »

I have had something like that before. I used a palm pilot with the school TVs programmed in. Another time, I used a remote compatible with the school TVs because we had an identical TV at home. Loads of fun.

On the PSP, I can use iRShell and the IRCommander plugin. Sure it's a little bulkier, but it works

Joe · « **Reply #16 on:** November 18, 2006, 04:38:20 pm »

Ooh, that actually sounds fun! You should write a plugin for that sometime.

http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/8396/ - Das Keyboard II

I'm not going to order the keyboard right away, but I definately want one (my parents will have a very dumb look on their face when they try guessing my password and can't see which key is which.. neither are "competent keyboarders").

Sidoh · « **Reply #18 on:** November 26, 2006, 04:47:48 am »

Why would you want a keyboard without keys? That almost seems completely asinine. If you want to spend money on a good keyboard, get a Z-Board or a Logitech G15.

It has keys, they're just not labeled. I rarely ever look at my keyboard, so it's mostly a method of defense.. nobody but me (and other people who I don't live with) can use the keyboard.

It's still retarded. If you don't pick stupid passwords, you shouldn't have anything to worry about...

I don't pick stupid passwords. Mine's a combination of Greek and Latin letters, plus numerals. So, if you did get physical access (past my dog, bedroom door lock, etc) you'd still have to guess that. To me, a Das Keyboard would be a novelty, but still cool.

Megazooka looks cooler.

Possibe shopping list:
Megazooka
Sick Day Handbook
Steal This Computer Book 4.0

For the time being, Das Keyboard is off the list because that's way too much for a novelty.

The book looks like an interesting read, and hopefully I can get my dad to read it afterwards, so he'll side with me a bit more when I try to tell him my brother (and his "MSN Block Checker", "MyWay Search Engine", etc) is full of shit.

EDIT -
The Spam Letters and Prank University look like a good combination to make you have a better day at other's expense.

EDIT -
I'm not going to buy one, but Spork of the Gods looks like a nice gift.

I'll be the next person to allow the suggestion to save your money to persist. Do you think you'll be using any of these silly things in a month from now? A year from now?

One book is educational. The other two will take a while to complete.

The Sick Day handbook will be used as a reference book.

Megazooka will constantly find itself new victims. It'll take a while to get tired of that one.

So far, the Ninja Remote hasn't bored me.

Spork of the Gods does seem retarded though.

Sidoh · « **Reply #33 on:** November 28, 2006, 12:43:17 pm »

I didn't say they wouldn't entertain you. I'm suggesting you save your money, not spend it on what I believe to be cooler things.

The soprk is pretty cool. I got my friend one for his birthday. I have a few, too. I use them all the time, and I have one tossed in my camping stuff along with that sweedish fire http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/7f02/knifes[/url]. They're all pretty useful if you actually like.. do stuff.

Joe... I second Sidoh's notion; save your money.

Joe · « **Reply #36 on:** November 28, 2006, 05:02:45 pm »

Super_X, I'm going to buy an iPod and then a drumkit (which will obviously be used on the long-term, and then have re-sell value if they don't reach the end of their lifespan by the time I'm tired of them), and then re-evaulate my shopping list. I make good enough money that I could buy a few small things and not break a long-term budget. I totally recognize the need for saving for college, but remember that I'm just a sophomore so I have time, and I'm going to end up buying a few kid things.

EDIT -
Sweedish Fire is just flint and steel times twenty, right?
