Get the Safu mug.'The electronic I Ching calculator was badly made. It had probably been manufactured in whichever of the South-East Asian countries was busy tooling up to do to South Korea what South Korea was busy doing to Japan. Glue technology had obviously not progressed in that country to the point where things could be successfully held together with it. Already the back had half fallen off and needed to be stuck back on with Sellotape.'
'It was much like an ordinary pocket calculator, except that the LCD screen was a little larger than usual, in order to accommodate the abridged judgments of King Wen on each of the sixty-four hexagrams, and also the commentaries of his son, the Duke of Chou, on each of the lines of the hexagram. These were unusual texts to see marching across the display of a pocket calculator, particularly as they had been translated from the Chinese via the Japanese and seemed to have enjoyed many adventures on the way.'
'The device also functioned as an ordinary calculator, but only to a limited degree. It could handle any calculation which returned an answer of anything up to "4".'
'"1 + 1" it could manage ("2"), and "1 + 2" ("3") and "2 + 2" ("4") or "tan 74" ("3.4874145"), but anything above "4" it represented merely as "A Suffusion of Yellow". Dirk was not certain if this was a programming error or an insight beyond his ability to fathom, but he was crazy about it anyway, enough to hand over £20 of ready cash for the thing.'

Get the safouane mug.A slang derivative of effervescence. The term is used to describe the awesomeness given off by one, and only one, interaction designer extraordinaire. It is a feeling hard to describe, but you know it when you are in its presence; there is a certain "rarefied vocational air".
He walked into the room and saffervescence filled all of the available space. The air felt electric.

Get the Saffervescence mug.Safurah is a very kind, sweet and loyal girl. They will always try their best no matter what and are always trying to impress teachers. In school, they are always beating themselves up for low grades and they expect to get full marks all the time. They love to make people happy by spreading positive messages but will always be broken inside. They always fake their smile because they don’t want people to think they’re upset or alone. Safurah’s are the most loveliest girls to ever meet. They tend to overthink too much, which isn’t healthy for them at all. However, the amount of effort they put into every piece of work is exceptional and teachers need to recognise that more. They also love eating and tend to think they’re over weight. The happiness they bring along with them is so adorable. They’re super stars!! However, they can be annoying and joke about with people too much. They’re too shy but once they get close with someone, it’s like they’re a different person.
