What could possibly be better than one geek at his desk? Is it two geeks in a room playing Warfcraft? Maybe it is three geeks in a car telling jokes?  Or perhaps it is four geeks on a train giving each other geek gifts from FunUSB.com for their birthdays?

Or maybe that only scratches the surface of geek gift happiness.  Maybe the best thing in a geek’s world is being in a gigantic room with hundreds of other geeks surrounded by comic books, sci-fi show character look-alikes, collectibles galore, thousands of geek gifts, and lots of free food?

There’s only one word for it: convention.

If you are looking for a great geek gift, then why not give a pass to a convention?  Conventions are to geeks as conferences are to academics, bars are to frat boys, and churches are to nuns.

Conventions happen all year, but the height of the season is during the summer.  By October, only a few scattered conventions still take place.  Geek.kon, for example, happened just last weekend in Madison, Wisconsin.

It is not hard to imagine the scene there…

On a beautiful fall day, the convention center is packed.  At one table, someone browses vintage comics, hoping to find that one issue of the original Spiderman that his mom threw out when he was eight.  At another table, two geeks hold hands and try to find the perfect geek gifts for each other.  They shop around and finally decide on matching USB-powered Mini Volcanoes from FunUSB.com.  Geek gift score!  Just down the way a middle-aged woman with a huge Star Wars tattoo on her arm hacks her in-the-box-mint-condition Star Wars toys (because she has to start putting her money towards real investments, not the kind that have realistic bendable limbs).  A Klingon walks past, grunting a greeting to a woman wearing a cape and sword.  Someone plays the harp…and two more geek step up to another table to find the geek gifts that will last a lifetime….

It’s a picture of geeky paradise.  Make your favorite geek happy and give them convention tickets: these are truly geek gift that keeps on giving!

The zombie corporate president shambles into his office late in the morning, leaving a trail of decaying flesh behind him.  He picks up the phone and grunts to his secretary.

“Must eat brains, and order some office toys as a treat to zombie underlings.”

The zombie secretary logs on to FunUSB.com and orders a dozen office toys for the zombie middle management.  She chooses fun office toys like the Real Thumb Flash Drive, which any zombie would rather leave lying around than his own decaying thumb.  Because there have been complaints from some of the vendors about cold clammy handshakes,  she also picks up a few USB-powered heated gloves for the zombie sales reps to wear during meet-and-greets.  She’s certain not to leave out office toys for her friends down in zombie (not human) resources.   When she has ordered enough office toys, the zombie secretary runs down to the get some fresh brains from the deli on the first floor.

In the deli, the secretary runs into one of her friends, a zombie who is new to the corporate world.  They talk about the benefits of dried versus fresh brains in pasta dishes and about the office toys at FunUSB.com.  The secretary tells her friend about how office toys can really break up the monotony of a day in the working world.  She shows her friend the newest office toy she bought- a little USB-powered massage ball.

By this time, the fresh brains are ready, and the dutiful zombie secretary says goodbye to her friend.  She lurches back to the elevator and delivers the tasty snack to her boss.

Once the zombie president is done with his bloody brains, he uses a practical office toy- the Mini USB Vacuum- to tidy his desk.  Leaning back in his chair, he thinks about how good it is to be the zombie boss.

Dresses, shoes, boys, and other such things that turn Paris Hilton’s head may be hot and cool only in the realm of figurative language.  Cool USB devices, however, are hot in the most literal way.

Is it Captain Kangaroo day? Or Mother-in-law’s Day?  Or Hillary Clinton’s birthday?  Or Columbus Day? Or Thanksgiving Day in Canada?  Or National Bologna Day?

No! What’s really exciting about October is that it is Computer Learning Month! And, one of the most exciting things to learn about computers right now is how many USB gadgets are available to use with any laptop or computer.

While the word cool’s etymological origins might be lost to us (despite the fact that everyone knows someone who claims to be the first one to start using it), one thing is for sure- the word cool is a staple of 21st century slang.

What else is a 21st century staple?  Not the stapler, but cool desk toys for the office.  Sure everyone’s heard of cool toys, but cool desk toys? What are those?  Cool desk toys are the neatest thing to hit the modern office since email!

Cool desk toys are quickly becoming as ubiquitous as the word cool itself.  In all office settings, office workers are decorating their desks with cool desk toys like the USB Mini Lava Lamp from FunUSB.com.  Groovy like its larger cousin, this cool desk toy is sure to add a bit of chill to the most stressful workspace.  Another cool desk toy from FunUSB.com is the Mini Disco Ball.  It simply plugs into a USB port, and instantly it transports any modern office worker back into the coolness of Studio 54! What could be cooler than that?

So, what’s cooler than cool? The fact that cool desk toys, like the word cool itself, are a fixed part of life in the 21st century.  Not much more to say to that then what the band Outkast said: “What’s cooler than cool? Ice cold!”

Like Mad Max entering the Thunderdome, geeks enter the office every morning with a mix of fear, dread, and awe.  Unlike the bloody, adrenaline-charged spectacle that awaited Max, however, today’s modern geek faces an endless stream of memos, reports, and hours staring at a computer screen.

To break the monotony and add a little more Thunderdome to their dreary office lives, geeks these days are buying USB toys to spice things up; geek toys like those available at FunUSB.com, such as the USB webmail notifier, which alerts geeks to incoming emails.  Geeks also love the USB mini static ball, which allows them to channel their inner wizards.  Another favorite geek office toy is the USB Mini Lava Lamp from FunUSB.com.  This little geek toy is guaranteed to captivate the entire office, just like a three-part Mad Max marathon.

So, while they may not be stuck in a hostile, post-apocalyptic wasteland, today’s geeks can be a little like Mad Max with a diverse range of geeky office toys.
