Think it might be too much for a birthday present?

Oh. Mi. Bod.

NOTCOT does a brilliant cover of the OhMiBod... "a whole new way to plug 'n play." I think this device is genius. Khan does not see the incremental value in converging two sensing devices but from a woman's perspective, it give a whole new meaning to loving your music.


I can just picture all those stone-faced chicas on the T in Boston with their iPods rockin' to the beat. Dude, that would make taking public transport so much more interesting.

I wish I got presents

Don't you miss getting presents? I do. Big boxes wrapped in nice shiny paper. I like the solid shiny colors. Like silver and golden and metallic blue. The printed ones are nice too but the solid ones are better. Or I guess if you mix and match, they'd both look good. But only if there were lots of them. Sitting nicely in a pile waiting to be opened. Preferably by me. With big bows on them. Big bows with the nice small curly ends. I like that. I'm going to make it mandatory for people to give me presents on my birthday. I like American holidays better than desi ones. More presents. How come we don't have presents for Diwali or something. I feel jipped.

Won't you send me a present? Go to Amazon and buy me something and get it gift wrapped. Make it speedy delivery so I get it this weekend. Pretty please?

I'd like a camel please

Check this out. Oxfam America has this wonderful program where you can buy gifts for people and the cash goes into the general charity pot. I believe if you buy from Oxfam England, the actual gifts go to the recipients. But, as Meg puts it, we can't send cows to everyone.

You can also send a can of worms, a hygiene kit, plant 50 trees, irrigate a farmer's land for 4 months, sheep, or build a shelter. There are lots of other great things you can give so check out your local Oxfam website.
