A Japanese Abacus

This afternoon, coming home from work from Job #1 (which, strangely, today I went to after Job #2). A Japanese abacus. Also included: The Japanese Abacus: Its Use And Theory, by Takashi Kojima. I know, I know - I need an abacus like I need a butterfly net. But it really is a thing of beauty. And unlike a certain iPod shuffle, it actually works. Thanks, grey box.

Hilarious. Truly. What would you do without The Grey Box, Mr. Bolton?

I don't know what I'd do without the grey box. So much so that I'm looking to move from my bachelor pad into a one bedroom - in the same building. I'm not moving out of here til I get my new TV!
