Why you should have a server in your house. The children’s book.
Dec 15th
I got a message from Kevin Rose via Pownce a little while back and it was a link to a series of pictures created to look like a children’s book. More specifically a book explaining how babies are made. But get this twist it was turned into an ad for Windows Home Server!
That’s right I said a Children’s book explaining the importance of a Home Server. But I almost pissed myself reading it. No matter how much I hate Digg for their evil ways I love Kevin’s sense of humor!
Go check out this whole thing over yonder…
Apparently I love my family because we have several home servers :) Does anyone know it’s real origins?
EDIT: The guys at The Gizmodo reported on this way back when… Check it out. But it’s still flucking funny!

This guy’s got the right idea, I hope everyone gets the same laugh out of this one that I got, I mean c’mon, this can’t all be about computers! This is a solution to a common problem for any male, married computer geek. Just get a laptop sleeve to match!
Check out the solution we found from WallStreetJackass.com.
A practical, readily available solution to most nagging housework problems…

Amazing Tool: How can I get a dropped screw out of my server case easily? I got the Magic Stick…
Jul 18th
John wrote in that he dropped a screw into his HUGE server case as he was about to seal it up. Now who wants to take it apart again just to get that stupid little screw?
It sure looks like the good fellows over at ThinkGeek Gadgets are in our heads because they have a solution (yet again… these guys rock!)
A magnetic stick with a led light on it! I have dubbed it “The Magic Stick”. It has become an essential part of my admin tool-kit.
AtA also gets a small cut of every Magic Stick sold via these links.
So to those of you in Admin land trying to send some dough our way for our planned upgrades good looking out in advance.
If it fell in there you should be able to get it out with this Magic Stick! (Edit: I got the magic stick…what what…sorry had to do it.)
It has happened even to the best of us. You’re installing that new rack mount server – hovering over a tight space, you’re putting in your last rack screw as it gently slips, falling down into a maze of wires and metal brackets. Doh! Now you’ll have to walk back down to the second floor just to get a single screw to finish the job.
That is, unless you have the LED Magnetized Telescopic Rescue Stick at the ready. It can easily swoop down and rescue your rack screw from its terrible misfortune.
The Rescue Stick is shaped and sized like a standard pen, making it super convenient to carry or toss in your toolkit. A quick pull extends it to over 2 feet, allowing you easily reach whatever needs rescuing. The built-in LED turns on automatically when the stick is extended, perfectly illuminating those dark corners and crevices where small parts love to hide.
The magnet is even strong enough to lift screwdrivers and other metallic objects as seen in the image below…
- 3 x button cell batteries (included)
- Acrylic transparent head complete with magnetic strip and White light LED
- Auto LED ‘on’ when the stick is extended
- Closed length = 6.25″ (extended = 26″)
