Fiat lux.
True Love (reading Brookstone catalog while I drive): It never ceases to amaze me how many ridiculous places they keep putting LEDs.
Me: That's funny coming from you, the one who keeps urging me to put LEDs on my [fake] leg.
True Love: Oh, but I'm just being sarcastic about the whole LED gestalt of the consumer electronics marketplace.
Me: Uh huh. You never seem like it. You always seem like you really want me to do it.
True Love: Well, I do think it would be cool if you did that but they were attached to something that actually did something, like something that indicated changes in the weather or traffic patterns or something like that.
Me: Okay. Well, I do think you should be getting something out of my prosthetic experience, so maybe we'll find a way to do that for you. Perhaps I can have Bob install a humidity gauge.
True Love: Now that's what I'm talking about! 'Cause, I mean, what does it do? You've got all that cool-looking, high-tech-looking stuff on there, but what does it do?
True Love sounds like a dream!

Yeah, he's all about the value-added features. ;) (And he's completely hilarious.)

Perhaps an iPod dock?

Ha! And do tell - does every single one of the gadgets that he loves have a discernible and useful purpose? I suspect not.
That being said, an led on your high tech leg would be pretty cool. Especially for those night time tricycle adventures.

Ian: You know they are making iPod docks with frickin' vacuum tubes now? I'm afraid I just can't compete.
Laurie: Actually, to be fair, he's pretty good about that. Having limited closet space and no basement has really helped us. I'm actually far more guilty of accumulating things of questionable use than he. And I know this because I am constantly being questioned about them.
