Hey, I’m German. Not going to eat potatoes with cables! Not a freak!

If you missed the children’s Science Fair at Aperture Labs, no worries! We’ve packaged nearly everything you need in this handy PotatOS Science Kit. The kit even includes a miniature science fair poster with brand new content from Valve’s writing team! Why "nearly everything," you ask? You’ll have to provide your own potato, but we’re sure you have one nearby. Follow the directions and in minutes you’ll turn a mild-mannered Russet potato into your very own PotatOS that lights up and will insult you, just like old times.

This is so genius it takes my breath away. Why didn’t I come up with this idea first? I could be rich now.

The image does not really make it look like very attractive but I think place in the right place these cable cuffs are coming in handy.

Cord CuffsTM are strong, adhesive tabs that secure cords to the edges of desks and countertops so they do not fall onto the floor. Slim tabs are clear so they don’t stand out, removable, reusable and do not leave behind a sticky residue like tape or stickers. Keeps cords readily available for plugging in cell phones, laptops, MP3 players, office equipment and personal electronics.
