Why Didn't I Think of That?

From a humorous Chicago Tribune article:


What I'm currently using...

--PolarFleece Blogging Gear. That stereotype about blogging being an activity done in one's pajamas is so Web 1.0. Put it "to bed" forever by purchasing our special Cozy Fleece Bloggin' Sack and matching Blog Clogs: Indoor Footwear for Bloggers. The first is a shapeless, 200-weight, man-size zip-in bag that's just perfect for thinking great thoughts or starting flame wars (it's fire retardant!). The second are one-size-fits-all, and our testers say they're like walking on clouds, although they're great, too, for just wearing as you sit in your computer chair all day long. Sack: $25 with rudimentary sleeves, $20 with simple armholes. Clogs: $15, whole sizes only, please. Specify navy blue for political bloggers, pink for "mommy bloggers."

-Second Life Tees. If you're an aficionado of the online world Second Life, you've probably had hours and hours -- and hours and hours -- of fun. But you've probably also heard complaints from flesh-and-blood people about "reality," "addiction" and "ridiculousness." They just don't get it! To help them understand, our new line of T-shirts lets you wear your lifestyle choice with pride. Printed in 1970s computer font on heavyweight cotton T's, slogans include "Get a (Second) Life," "Second Life Is Way Cooler than Dungeons and Dragons," "Two Lives Are Better than One" and the new "My Girlfriend Went on Second Life and All I Got Was Dumped. Oh, and This T-Shirt." $20. With each purchase, you'll also get a digital version of the shirt for your online avatar to wear inside Second Life itself. What could be cooler than that?
