Triumph USB Hub?

I have GOT to have one of these, if only for the garage computer. Solid Alliance USB Hub for motorcycle fans:

The three port USB hub is in the shape of a motorcycle engine, when connected to the PC it imitates the noise of the engine starting, when the kick pedal is pushed the sound changes to as you accelerate a motorbike with gear change along with the engine vibration and finally to a racing bike sound.

Update: Soren found the place to buy it online.

Wired: The New Athiests

I was having lunch at the Staggering Ox yesterday when I came across this article on atheism in Wired. I didn’t have time to read it all so I looked it up online for future reference.

I’m experiencing inner conflict. My issues are twofold. First, I can’t seem to purge the last vestiges of superstition from my consciousness (I seem to want to very badly). Second, I find my tolerance of believers waning, but I don’t want to alienate my friends (or clients) who believe. But my internal monologue is starting to bleed out into the world. I’m not so sure it entirely matters in the grand scheme of things; I don’t generally care when people keep to themselves. But the more evangelical/verbal a given person on the subject of mythology the more I want to smite them with a heavy object.
