One of the coolest designer USB keys I’ve ever seen comes from MIMOBOT. If you aren’t in need for a cool USB key (though they rock, and you should definitely get one!), you can always get their designer stickers instead. Here are some of their designs, though many are in limited run and they may be sold out before you get a chance to claim ’em:

As you can tell, though, they do have really cool USB keys. This is one I received at a Microsoft party and celebrates the disturbing videos by the Happy Tree Friends:

I’m also hearing that MIMOBOT is running at holiday Twitter giveaway this month, so check out the rules for your chance to win one of those lovable toys!

At a recent trade show, I received this sprayable hand sanitizer from LookSmart. It’s cool, but if you compare them to the highlighters I got from them, I’d rather take a second set of highlighters.

In any event, it’s a great thing to have this season, since the flu is at all time highs. Of course, I actually scored this sanitizer stuff in April, but it’s good to save this stuff for the most opportune time.

And that, for sure, is now.

The week before I relocated (which was early September), I received a huge box from bean bag chair company Sumo Lounge. Now mixing boxes and more boxes together meant that I’d have a lot of things to unpack, but eventually I got around to enjoying this most awesome beanbag chair.

That’s me wearing warm clothes for Thanksgiving… in, of course, a Sumo Lounge bean bag chair!

The pictured bean bag chair is a Sumo Omni and I’d call it the best bean bag chair ever (yes, it beats the Google beanbag chair I wrote about earlier by far!). The material is rip-proof nylon, which some have inquired about — honestly, it’s probably the best material for a beanbag chair especially because it’s easier to manage and clean. It’s also incredibly comfortable and can be arranged in 8 positions (or so they’ve found). There are 10 colors available (do you like the midnight blue I got?) and it’s a whole lot of fun.

All in all, I highly recommend the Sumo Omni. It’s an incredibly versatile and super comfortable beanbag chair which would make a great addition to your dorm room, home, or office.

One of the coolest pieces of swag came from my friends Darrell Long and John Carcutt who attended a conference while I was stuck at home packing to relocate (which I did in the beginning of September). So I was happy to see that they saved a cool hand-held race car for me from Omniture:

The idea of this little toy is that the base of the race car includes the buttons to move the car forward and backward. For now, it’s a good base for displaying the car.

Thanks guys!

(Update: After about a week charging the thing, it doesn’t work!!!!! So hey, where’s a new one?) 😉
