So, I don’t know if I mentioned this earlier today (geez, short term memory), but my modem broke three days ago. What a hassle. I’m happy it’s behind me, I’m thrilled to be back online, and to celebrate that, let’s look at two tech based Offbeat classics.

Did I just use edible and spam in the same sentence? Shudder.
In fact it’s something entirely different from anything I’ve ever seen. I think the design is bordering on mad genius it’s so clever.
