April offerings from Think Geek

Mail order store Think Geek is one of my favorites and around this time, they announce their new products. This year has some good ones. Here is one example:

The Lonely Guy Dream Vacation Digital Photo Frame
You spend Friday nights at home, by yourself BY CHOICE. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. You're a snowflake - unique and beautiful and perhaps misunderstood. It's not your fault that they don't get you. While your solipsism might be personally gratifying, it can be often difficult to explain. Being lonely becomes hard work as you fabricate fake vacations, weekend plans, even friends. It's kinda sad, really.

Wouldn't it be cool if somebody could just do that stuff for you? Someone who could offer proof that you did go to Egypt last fall�that you and your dad did go fishing in Big Sky last June� that you partied hard in Cozumel... that you really do have a hot girlfriend in Canada� It's all possible with the new Lonely Guy� Dream Vacation Digital Photo Frame.

Included with the photo frame is your very own green-screen. Stand in front of it, and (with your digital camera on a timer) snap a picture of yourself. The photo-frame's onboard processor isolates your body and digitally composites you in any one of hundreds of different situations. Be on the bridge of a starship, tour the Great Pyramids of Giza, or show off your beautiful and happy family.

So, relax and bask in the glow of your newfound friends and family, conveniently held inside plastic and electronics. There when you need an alibi, gone when it's time for just you and your thoughts.
