12-Days of Technology Before Christmas

In December of 1995, Bill Hancock, Ph.D. from Grand Prairie, TX wrote Request for Comment: 1882. This technology rendition of the 12-Days of Christmas always makes me smile during the hectic and bussel of the holiday season.
RFC 1882: is considered an informational Memo for the Internet community which does not specify security issues or an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
This is my memento of a Geek Christmas wish to all of my friends and students. Please enjoy the 12-Days of Technology Before Christmas Request for Comment.
Njoy!

Geek Xmas

Geek Moment Dec 12, 2011:
As I shop for my geek friends for the holidays, I run across several versions of Department of Desktop Warfare (DDW) USB Nerf Rocket Launchers. I am so excited as the Xmas visions in my head turns to see my friends expecting a red Swingline stapler only to open a USB controlled Nerf Missile Launcher. I smile as I see the Nerf darts arch through the air over Cubeville. Oh which one to choose...

ThinkGeek USB Laser Guided Missile Launcher

Brookstone USB Desktop Missile Launcher

I start mentally counting and then adding how many of my friends will absolutely need this - especially at UAT during Nerf Wars! Then I snap out of my office daydream to realize ... I really do not have a budget with that many zeros. So this now goes up as a poll.
