Next maybe they’ll have USB hedge trimmers?
Chip Chick has been posting some of the weirdest and cleverest USB devices in history. At least you can see how the USB Bible, which looks just like a teeny Gideon Bible and has the entire King James translation in memory, would come in useful. Not so sure about the USB cup warmer and the USB beverage chiller. And the smokeless USB ashtray. And the USB warming slippers. It all reminds me of those devices people used to plug into their cars’ cigarette lighters. But the wackiest USB device of all? The USB nail care kit, in case you need to give yourself a manicure/pedicure at your workstation. “The USB Nail Care System includes 6 kind of attachments for polishing, brushing, and shaping the form of your nails.” (Warning: Chip Chick’s blog is kind of sploggy, with random words hyperlinked to sponsor sites, and alt-text that pops up with annoying messages.)

I think the bible idea is the best one so far. This concept could be used for other books or maybe eventually for movies.
I wish someone would invent a USB JiffyPop popcorn popper. That way I don’t have to walk to microwave.
I am glad I found your site. It’s great to find sites about technology and women.

I am shocked — SHOCKED! — that you do not recognize the genius of the beverage-warming/chilling apparati. Programmers the world over sit for hours at their monitors, typing away and staring, intermittently (and I do mean intermittently) sipping at beverages “suddenly” gone cold/warm. The joy of a cup of coffee that remains hot through an extended debugging session is, well, blissful.
