Pictures from my Expeditions: SE Asia (2)



Know what this is?

It's a laptop fan. It keeps your laptop computer from overheating. And if you happen to be staying on the equator in a place lacking in mod cons like A/C - or, say, tables - and you are working with a computer on your lap - well, it cools your lap, too. Plugs into a USB port.

This one was a gift. I was visiting a group working in SE Asia last summer and they had a couple of these. I admired them effusively. So one of the guys went to "HyperMart" - attached to MegaMal - and shelled out the $7 so I could have one too.

Click on the picture for a closeup and see the three little fans. It also lights up. Bright blue. Bit eery, that.

This, I'll admit, is one of my prized possessions.
