You know what would make those work meetings just fly by? Watching cute kitty videos on a tiny little monitor in my lap.

Sure, real live cute kitties would be better. But part of growing up is accepting that I can’t take Snicklebritches and Captain Muffin with me everywhere. The HR department made that very clear in a series of rather unkind memos that I really wish hadn’t found their way to the break room bulletin board.

So I’m making do with the iMo 7” USB monitor. It hooks right up to my laptop’s USB port for an instant seven inches of clandestine fuzzy bliss. No extra video cards or adapters need apply – it plugs and it plays, in perfectly acceptable 800×480 resolution. Let this interminable meeting grind on to its inevitably unsatisfying conclusion. I’ll just be sitting here enjoying the most ticklish kitties YouTube has to offer. While my boss drones away about the crucial Kingman-Somebody account and the urgency of presenting a comprehensive something-or-other at our meeting in January (or was that December?), I’m giggling on the inside. And it’s all thanks to my iMo 7” USB monitor.

I think I’ll name it Whiskers.
