I’ve worn glasses pretty much all my life. It never bothered me, even when people called me ‘four eyes’. As a kid, I would often use my glasses to see things behind me… like when someone was trying to sneak up on me. It was kinda neat to do, you know? So what can I use in my office when I want to see behind me? You can turn your head of course, but that’s not always practical. Or, you could just pick up a C.H.I.M.P. Rearview Monitor Mirror from ThinkGeek, instead.

The C.H.I.M.P. is a convex mirror (only three inches in diameter) that fits easily on either corner of your monitor with accompanying velcro tabs. Choose between black or the new iCHIMP in stylish white.

The velcro, oddly enough, sounds like my hair when I have static cling. Seriously, my hair never moves. It’s just solid. It’s like the soft half of a velcro sticker. Really! I’m not kidding.

You can put the C.H.I.M.P. on either corner of your monitor, or set it on your desk. You could bring this with you to a coffee shop or your office. You’ll always know if someone is coming up behind you, and not be surprised again.

There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about.
