USB Mug Warmer & Hub

This would be nice for the office. Wonder if Pam would like one.

Double-Duty Device Reduces Desktop Clutter

UBS mug warmer

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

Weblog Usability

Posted by Joe on 26th November 2005

Weblog Usability

To have a blog that performs well, there are certain things to keep in mind, and Jakob Nielsen over at Useit.com has come up with a list of the top ten design mistakes.

1. No Author Biographies
2. No Author Photo
3. Nondescript Posting Titles
4. Links Don’t Say Where They Go
5. Classic Hits are Buried
6. The Calendar is the Only Navigation
7. Irregular Publishing Frequency
8. Mixing Topics
9. Forgetting That You Write for Your Future Boss
10. Having a Domain Name Owned by a Weblog Service

The ones I most agree with are the first two. One of the things I do once I realize “hey, I like this blog” is to see who wrote it. Its very frustrating, especially on more personal type blogs, to not know who I am reading.

Check out all the details of the list at useit.com
