...Like a Ural in the Snow...

A coworker in the parking lot this morning.



Excellent.

Apparently, he ended up flipping it on its side before he was done. Neither the Ural nor the coworker were any worse for the wear, and the coworker has had an enormous grin on his face every time I've seen him since!

Some of What's in the Stimulus

See if there's anything in there for you.

I'm getting this for IT

Sometimes we have to test analogue phone lines. The fact is we don't have any standard analogue telephone handsets to plug into these lines. Ideally, it would be a one piece phone that you plug directly into the jack. It would be self powered. And, the wire goes all the way to the handset without a cradle to set the phone on. That way testing can be done standing up and with one hand. Like a poorman's lineman's handset. After looking on Amazon at all the phones listed in the the telephone department, until i breached the $50 mark, I couldn't see any telephone like it. Then John said, "Hamburger Phone."

A search for "hamburger phone" sends you to a department that's not "Electronics" but reveals the perfect candidate equipment.

Update: PURCHASE APPROVED

I just found the ugliest phone ever.

I'm going to be over the movie before it's out. I do like the "primary source material" idea like the chapter breaks of the book. Clever.
