Space jammies.Also, here is a conversation that just happened:
Me: How many computers are in this house?
James: Um, let me go downstairs and check.
(Pause)
(Heard being mumbled from downstairs: Seven, eight...)
(James comes back to main floor, continues counting)
(James heads upstairs, more mumbled counting is heard)
(James comes back to main floor)
James: Looks like right now there are 18. But that's not counting specialty hardware for work and various...antique collectibles. Eighteen regular ones.
Me: Thank you.
Edited to add:
Not that there's anything wrong with all that. Now please excuse me while I enjoy my borosilicate mug of perfectly brewed soy cappuccino along with my lightning-fast, hacker-impenetrable wifi access.

I think James's computer monitor is bigger than mine (mine is a mere 24" widescreen). I bow to his infinitely more impressive geekiness.
James say to tell you that his is 30". {cough}
Damn, he's got one huge ... display.
And when I say "James say," I mean "James says."
Me Karen, you Alex. Ooga ooga.
