Gadget Monday

Mon_4_28_08_a

It's a bottle opener in the mold of Startrek's USS Enterprise.  Actually, rumor has it that the reverse was true, the design of futuristic spaceship on the sci-fi TV series was based on the identical shape of a pre-existing bottle opener those days manufactured in Taiwan instead of China.  Bet you didn't know that.  You do know though that a jellyfish warning has been posted for Waikiki beach today.  Fittingly, on some days there ought to be the Internet equivalent of a jellyfish warning issued for surfing the Web.  Case in point.  This.  At any rate, I might even inaugurate every Monday of the week with a Gadget Day to commemorate the infinite number of gizmos that people have bought on the spur and never used after a week.  After a while they even forget where they buried the comfort item in their backyard.  Begs the question whether these non-essential purchases are a plain waste money?  Absolutely, not.  Period.
