Caffeinated soap - and no, you don't drink it... The Web's best online store for All Things Geek, Think Geek, has started selling caffeinated soap under the product name Shower Shock. Apparently their target market is the übergeeks among us who have time for either coffee or a shower, but not both. Available in bar, travel, and liquid body-wash versions, Think Geek claims the product will deliver 200 milligrams of transdermal pep with every use. Now, I’m not an expert on the human geek condition, but given the stereotype, is caffeine without the pleasure of the beverage really enough to lure the hygienically challenged into the shower? I’m also concerned by Think Geek’s Customer Action Shots feature. There’s already one picture of a guy showering in there... 

I've been an iPod fan since the original, but it's taken me until the iPod video - and hacking my car to add an iPod interface - to try to fix a feature that's been missing since day one. Why can't I create a sync-able playlist full of random albums, not just a bunch of random tracks? Through a little-documented feature, I can, without trying to find a custom AppleScript.

After spending some time at my local mall during the official iPhone launch, I decided to saunter back to the Apple Store the following day to spend some time with the device, since I could get nowhere near it on Friday. Of course, I had seen the commercials and the keynote, and watched a few customers play with their new toys after the clock struck 6:00 p.m. but there's nothing quite like holding one of Apple's phones in your hands, sliding the unlock bar and watching iPhone's icons glide into position.
