The silliest thing by far is the USB-powered fan/LED light combo - useful for when you're computing in the dark desert? Close behind is the DNA puzzle, though I haven't attempted that yet. I did resist the urge to pick up one of those plastic bottles with colored oil and water in them. The pens all seem quite nice - I especially like the one that lights up. And post-it notes in highlighters? Genius! Oh, and in case you're wondering (as I was for most of the day), the yellow smiley-faced thing is a keyboard brush that can sit on top of a CRT monitor when not in use. Hmm... maybe that one comes in second in the silliness quotient.

Invest Northwest
Just got back from day 1 of Invest Northwest, an annual event put on by the Washington Biotechnology and Biomedical Association at the Bell Harbor Conference Center in Belltown. There were a ton of Northwest Biotech companies there making presentations on why investors should give them more money. It was interesting to learn more about some of the companies, and also just to realize quite how many biotechs there are in the PNW! The lawyers and financing companies who were also there provided us with tons of schwag - some of which is pictured below.
