The Kings Queen is one of the top 10 players. Even though this was just an espionage probe, the fact that I managed to end the contest in a draw is way too cool for me not to post.

Sometimes you just get lucky.

Double-Duty Device Reduces Desktop Clutter

At ThinkGeek World Headquarters, like most office environments, available USB ports are often in short supply. It seems like there’s always someone wandering the halls asking if there’s a spare USB hub around. Often, the answer is ‘no,’ and a decision must be made: disconnect the USB Mug Warmer and watch as my coffee gets cold, or not connect my thumb drive with all my work on it?

Why be forced into an obviously impossible dilemma, when there’s the USB Mug Warmer Hub? Not only do you get a warming pad, perfect for keeping your hot caffeinated beverage hot, but you get 4 extra USB ports to attach your other devices.

* USB 2.0 backwards compatible to USB 1.1
* Heats up to 80 degrees celcius
* 110mm wide by 110mm deep. 120mm high.
* Insulative section (metal part) diameter 72mm
* Weight 110 grams
* Cable length 148cm
* On/off switch with LED indicator
