  It was a busy week here, and all we ran across worth sharing was a
  fabulous Joy of Tech comic about devices Facebook could work on and
  an iPhone case from ThinkGeek that gives an iPhone a flip-out
  physical keyboard.


**Joy of Tech Suggests Facebook Devices** -- Our friends at Joy of
  Tech are on a roll, with this comic suggesting a variety of devices
  that Facebook is working on. Our favorites: The Wi-Fi-enabled
  Facebook garbage can that uploads pictures of things you throw out
  to your profile, and the Facebook showerhead whose default privacy
  settings "stream the stream" straight to the entire Facebook
  community.

**iPhone Case Doubles as Bluetooth Keyboard** -- Though it's
  disappointingly out of stock until late November, the ThinkGeek
  TK-421 iPhone Case with Flip-Out Keyboard certainly looks
  interesting. While its aesthetics and added thickness aren't
  impressive, the flip-out keyboard works via Bluetooth with your
  iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 to provide the tactile typing sensation that
  some recovering BlackBerry addicts crave. The $49.99 case is an
  original ThinkGeek creation and uses its own built-in, rechargeable
  battery. Now you can text your reason the next time you're not at
  your post.
