I’ve been writing for about three hours now. That means, among other things (like, for instance, my eyes are bloodshot and I’m terribly twitchy), that the bottom of my computer is freaking hot as hell, and if it were on my lap, (as, AHEM, its name suggests it’s could be), and not comfortably perched on a table, I would be one step away from burn-victim status. This sounds dramatic, but I’ve actually tested it, and results unfortunately proved that MacBook Pros, when used on top of a lap, do indeed inhibit the wear of miniskirts/shorts/most other things that make guys happy for at least seven hours. As of press time, there’s no real solution to this dilemma, but I think things may be headed in some version of the right direction with the advent of these Console Heat Radiators available at Japan’s HimeyaShop for $35. This little guy (or girl; you never can tell with anime) radiates the heat from your PC, game console, or DVD player to protect both the device and the surface on which it rests, representing a nice progression in the area of “Saving Valuable Sufaces From Hot Shit.” Nice.

Now save my thighs, please.
