Can you get geekier than this? The IDE belt

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

I’ve worked in the computer business in one form or another since 1992, and nothing, and I mean nothing says “geek sheek” more than a belt made out of real IDE cable.

You’re probably saying to yourself, “whoa, slow down there old man! Our hard drives use SATA cables…take your ancient artifacts and head right back to the nursing home you escaped from!”

Yeah, yeah…how 2002 of me. :) Seriously, a belt made of hard drive data cable? I hardly have words. So I will just say this: Get one of these things and be the first on your block to celebrate the universal transfer of data over copper conduction! Hey, even if you can’t rotate at 7200 rpm, you’ll still be the bell of the ball. Are you the master, or are you the slave? That’s for you to decide.

Get it on time! The ZeStuff 2007 holiday deadlines and business hours

Hello everyone! Now that the US thanksgiving is behind us (everyone got their full share of turkey and cranberry?), we can start talking about the upcoming holidays.

Like all previous years, we have prepared a list of shipping deadlines along with our business hours for December. We know that you don’t want to give their loved ones their gift after Christmas so we made a couple of calls to make sure that what we’re giving you is as precise as possible.

Of course, if you can order now, do not hesitate! The sooner, the better. Sure, some of you can wait until December 21st to get their shopping done and use a overnight shipping method but who knows what can happen. I’ve seen FedEx unable to deliver on time because their planes couldn’t get off the ground due to a crappy weather. These things happen and, of course, they always happen at the worse possible time.

So without further ado, I present you the ZeStuff 2007 holiday deadlines and business hours.

I’ll never think of cake the same

I’ve not mentioned this to too many people yet, but I honestly feel like I witnessed something really special with Portal. When a game can grab me with completely unique gameplay, great humor, mad originality, and a crazy good story, well…that is truly a special day indeed.

I confess I can still hear the computer voice in my head, and I swear I see blue and orange holes in the wall at nearly every turn.

I’m happy to report that I’ve found a way to walk around with my Portal obsession plastered all over me. The shirts are not only brilliant, they act as a reminder of just how great gaming is, and how far it has really come over the years. Do yourself a favor and pre-order one of these today.

The other night I distinctly remember trying to pick a freshly planted plasma grenade from the back of my neck during a rash of Halo 3 matches, and as it exploded a voice came to me and whispered the following into my head. “You really need to get your hands on a scale model of an medieval siege weapon of some sort.” I realize how strange that sounds, but these voices have said worse before.

Check out the specs on this bad boy:

  • Model is pre-cut and each joint is drilled for super strong connection.
  • Comes with a leather-like sling and some soft modeling clay for safe hurling!
  • Has an excellent, easy to read and understand building manual with 19 clear illustrations.
  • Can be built in 1 to 2 hours with little modeling experience needed.
  • All you need to make the model is some glue and a good pair of scissors. (Medieval music in the background helps!)
  • Seriously, who here hasn’t thought about hucking a candy bar across the room at your co-worker using nothing less than the Kings preferred war machine? Get all you need and more, right here. All that and a 20ft range? Sheesh…sign me up.

    Get your WoW CCG groove on!

    My favorite reaper…

    I know I speak for at least a few of you reading this right now: Nothing made us laugh more as 80’s kids than a good Monty Python sketch. Or better yet, a movie. Or even better yet, a movie our parents would not allow us to go to.

    The Meaning of Life was just this sort of film. Filled with all sorts of swears, british lady skin, and puke / blood, it was the perfect thing to satisfy the teenage need to give the parents the preverbal bird.

    Which brings me to the point. That movie was weird as crap, but it had a character I couldn’t get enough of: The Grim Reaper. Pretty much stole the movie, and I think I’ve found a way to extend that nostalgia just a little longer by purchasing the Grim Reaper Plushy from The Meaning of Life.

    Why settle for that guy from the second Bill and Ted movie, when you can have the real thing! I know he’ll have a cozy place under my favorite pillow. Will he find rest under yours? Of course he will. :)
