It's hilarious in the book if you've not read it. I thought that book sucked...so much exposition, it could have been about 125 pages long. But the pages spent on b card obsession were great.

I had a title once that was "Director of Global Market [Something]." And at my next job the CEO gave me so much grief...she thought "Global" was a hilariously weighted proclamation. I agree with her. But regardless, it made for a very long title on a business card.

Great! I have a ton of legos and that "Lego Head" sorter doesn't really cut it. I have a series of 24 x 36 trays that work pretty well so far, but it's still tedious. Additional ideas would be fantastic.

Just got this one. 25% off...:

I second that. For websites, maybe (still a bit too small) but people see actual objects with much, much higher resolution than stuff on monitors. I think I went down to like 8 or even 6 point on mine and there aren't any readability issues, as far as I know and as far as how people have responded to them.

Those generic software packages on those cheap websites (not a shot at them...I used them for mine) are maddening. Why wouldn't you put a ruler/grids etc on a design application like that? Jeez.

..... when do you NOT shake someone's hand in a professional setting?

Hah. Or "Patrick" like "Patrick Bateman"...I laughed when I looked this up as my font's pretty close to his.

Might be misunderstanding, but I (constructively) disagree with you a bit on the assumed misunderstanding about myself and technology...I do write down/record info from websites often. I figure the QR is just an alternative to someone "copy link(ing)" an email address I'd rather not provide online. Where these are…

Hi Michael

Hopefully the biggest thing here is the ability to stream Prime videos without rendering them in Flash. That's the only way I know of to take advantage of my Prime membership in Chromecast and it SUCKS.

Prime is awesome. I'm a big believer in it, even if Amazon finally started gathering sales tax for my state last month. :-)

Thanks Patrick! I think this is one of the few Lifehacker posts where I actually felt like I had my act together. I visit often and it's always a humbling experience to read your stuff. :-)

I went ahead and made mine 1x1. Wanted to err on the side of resolution. It's easily scannable from an acceptable distance. A bit bigger on my website.

The multi-round launcher is capable not only of shooting those gargantuan rubber bullets you see in the video

I have those folding business cards. In addition to enabling a lot of info about me and my consulting business, it's interesting in that customers invariably put them in a "tent" that's standing up throughout the meeting. They like it. The only drawback is that they're thick and you can only carry a few on you. I…

He must have had a Cottonmouth.

this comment surprised me. Not saying this in a confrontational way. I think he's outstanding and an all time great in his prescience. Granted, he did write most of his stuff in a drug-addled haze. But I thought this story and the movie adaption was one of the best marriages of book/movie of all time.

However....for what it's worth...wondering what a top ten list of the best looking consumer devices and interfaces would look like. Qualified for their particular timeframe. I thought this one was really pretty.

because of bathroom hygiene concerns, I decided years ago to only piss in the break room coffee pot. Looks like I better switch back.
