I love my nano. But miniaturisation means things are so much easier to misplace these days. I might have to run class off my 40G iPod. Oh, the humanity.
Okay, gotta getta latte.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They should make the wee devices with a means of paging them.

At least my Palm Zire makes beeping noises when I've set the alarm....
Work now requires an RAS token (which keeps a passcode that changes every 60 seconds) to log into our company system. It's smaller than a credit card, about the side of a typical keyring fob, and despite my best efforts, I keep misplacing the damn thing. I'm tempted to attach it to Chumley's collar, because then if I wanted it, all I'd have to do is run the can opener and he'd be by my side in about two seconds flat.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Do I have to go to work today?

I have one of those for accessing my work email offsite, but it's got a notch on it so I can keep it on my keychain.
This is neat -- design your own tartan!
ION, I got a new computer at work yesterday, and it has the WORLD'S LOUDEST KEYBOARD. It's very self-conscious-making.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The really old IBP AT (I think - or was it the XT?) computers had very loud keyboards. They were highly praised for their feel (some think they were the best keyboard evah!) so some people hunt down these 20 year old keyboards and have them converted to work on a modern computer.

See, I wouldn't mind the noise if it felt more solid, but this is loud because the keys rattle. Especially the space bar.

Loud keyboards are so your boss can hear you working. It's very reassuring for them.
I know it's something pretty sad & serious, but a headline like Three More Die in Cartoon Protests seems like a caption in search of a home.

Oh, that sucks. Maybe you can stuff cotton under the keys?

I was thinking I'd just ask for my old keyboard back. And my old mouse, which was also better.
