I have birthday drinkies to go to that evening, but here's my gadget of
the year:

http://shorterlink.org/4405

It's half the size of an SD card, and you don't need a special card
reader for it - it plugs straight into a USB port.  I am amazed at how
tiny it is.  Also, the 8GB version is the Official Lonon.pm Colour.

Tonight I'm going to see if I can boot off it.
