Yahoo News declares, "women like tech toys more than shoes."
(But some of us like both.)

Speaking of shoes...
Hey, Auntie K, maybe they've got one of these for shoes (although--ick)?

But then again, I think the whole idea with borrowing handbags is a little "ick." Certainly not something I'd pay the "couture" price of $60-95 per week rental fee for! (Goodness, if you can afford that, couldn't you afford to buy a much nicer handbag than my own?)

Speaking of "ick..."
Wanna know what to call that bug you're squashing when you describe its horrific appearance to coworkers the next day? Then check out What's that Bug?

And while we're talking about satellite:
I [heart] Eureka.
Which, incidentally, is the state motto of California. (These are the things you learn when you work in GovDocs and your boss and yourself are bored of the usual shoptalk.)

And back to television:
Oh. My. Gosh.
NPR: "About one-third of children age 6 and younger even have a television in their room, just so they can watch their shows while parents are occupied elsewhere."

And that leaves me speechless.
