Mac Stack

A physical vertical grouping of Mac Mini computers and peripherals. So named because some peripherals for the Mac Mini are designed to stack above or below the Mini and the shapes of the cases suggest vertical arrangements for convenience and good use of space.

Joe has a G4 Mini, Intel Mini, a FireWire hub, KVM, and a 250GB hard drive in a Mac Stack.

Wallyball

I've heard they've got some pretty good wallyball games at the Mexican-American border!

piss bug

A decal or other marker on a urinal indicating the best place to aim your urine stream.

I went to use a few bathrooms where they have these happy, funny little piss bugs in the urinals.

chiPod

A Chinese-manufactured MP3/MP4 player with a case and form factor generally to closely resembling one or more models of Apple's iPod. ChiPods are generally a fraction of the cost of Apple's iPod, have generally equivalent but inferior implementations of iPod functionality, don't accept Apple-proprietary formats, and often include supersets of iPod features like larger screens, additional audio processing features, audio recording, additional data formats, and FM radios. However, chiPods are very rarely connector-compatible with iPods and won't attach to iPod docks, opting to instead use industry-standard interfaces. (Notably, Apple's iPods are also Chinese-made--a chiPod is a player which visually bears some resemblance to an iPod.)

I just got several chiPods today. Some of them look a lot like iPods, they aren't as cool to use, but work fine.
