During a long family trip/trek across the country - we passed through Scranton PA (home of the TV Show, the Office) - wiki declared that Scranton had a 150' long brass statue that was a cock/balls in tribute to the large gay population in Scranton. We spent some time trying to find the statue, with no luck. Fortunately we didn't stop and ask any of the locals as the wiki page was later corrected.

My favorite laptop hack was to turn the lid into a case - I've got pockets for my iPad Mini, trackball, business cards, smart pen, extra cables, USB sticks, and so much more. More at http://www.canteraconsultants.com/tech/?p=1269

Although my favorite travel bag is a Tom Bihn Buzz Bag, my day to day needs are met by turning the top of my Macbook Pro into a "bag". I customized a speck cover and added room for a trackball, iPad Mini, business cards, Sky SmartPen, 1 tb media drive, USB sticks, headphones, iPhone 5 and misc cables I need to charge/get through the day.
