A cubicle for the thinking person

I'm desperately seeking ways to keep my mind pleasantly occupied at work, because my current job is not making use of it. So, I turned to the site that many readers (if I have any readers) have probably already heard about, ThinkGeek.com. A couple of products had me skeptical at first, then very enthusiastic and eager to get my hands on them: Acrobots and PixelBlocks. The Acrobots are tiny figures with magnetic feet and hands that can be posed all sorts of ways. PixelBlocks are a set of small, translucent, colorful Lego-like interlocking cubes. The photos show them made into free-standing 2D figures such as video game sprites (Mario, Mega Man, et. al.) and 3D figures and tiny buildings. These look like the coolest micro-toys ever. I could fiddle with them safely one block at a time while doing my repetitive job. I think I'll start with a $10 250-piece set of blocks (available on the PixelBlocks homepage) to make sure I like them first. A thousand might be awesome, but I have my anemic gradprole budget to consider. The other pieces I'm thinking of adding to work are a few more sets of art and travel photo postcards. I paper clip together two origami cubes (which I construct) to make a slit between them. I then use that slit to prop a postcard for display. If I get enough of these going I'll have a decent backdrop, then I add a couple of Acrobots, some PixelBlock characters and buildings and I might have a funky cubicle town worth looking at. I have no baby photos (since I have no babies) or any other photos, and Care Bears, Disney, and even Hello Kitty seriously are not gonna cut it for me. Homestar Runner and StrongBad are the only characters I can think of that are worthy of appearing in  my  cubicle. I'll probably try to construct them from those PixelBlocks... now there's a way to get through a day...
