gadgetry

I think Dan may just kill me if I paste one more Gizmodo link into our IM conversations (I heart that site...so many sexy products!), so I thought I'd put one up here, since I think it'd be underappreciated by him, anyway:


I must try this out.


As sketchy as it looks, it's actually an egg-shaped (no idea why) odor-eater for ridding oneself of those terribly annoying (and really persistent!) smells that linger on your fingertips after chopping things like onions & garlic. And $12 ain't that bad, considering how I generally avoid cutting onions at all at this point, because I hate those fingertip odors so.

I'm also really interested in trying this out. I've added it to my wish list on Amazon - which, to warn you if you click on it to see what I'm interested in, is very limited at the moment (in terms of things I'm reminding myself to check out -- which is mostly what I use it for). I once deleted most of what I had put on there because I was irrationally worried that Amazon's servers and backup machines would somehow all crash, and I would lose all the books I wanted to remember to read, so I copied them all down manually. I know, I'm rather odd sometimes. I think that whole fear-of-a-computer-failure thing is pretty logical for someone who works so intimately with computers & code, though. I know all too well the things that can and probably will go wrong, considering the shortcuts some programmers are known to take... (Not moi, of course!)

Umm... My first impression of that gizmo wasn't that it was for cleaning fingers. I thought maybe you were posting vagina art. I'm just saying.

You can clean those odors from your fingertips by rubbing them on a stainless steele sick, which probably works for the same reason the egg works. Try it out...and, since you already own it, it is free.
