Dave at the World's Fair is asking ScienceBloggers to show off their coffee mugs. I don't usually have a camera at work, but my signature mug was bought via the Internet, so I snagged the image from the CafePress Store.
It's a "Still Not King" mug, a reference to the famous Very Secret Diary of Aragorn. To the best of my recollection, nobody has recognized this reference and asked about it.
Of course, it's been over a year since I drank tea, thanks to my stomach problems, and I never liked coffee, so at the moment, the mug is holding a couple of pens and a thermometer. But if I were to start drinking tea again, that's what I'd use.

How big a dork am I? Well, you can see from the graph at left, roughly thirty pounds less of a dork than I was at the beginning of the year... Hey, man, it's not science without graphs.
So, as noted in passing in several other posts, I decided at the beginning of the year that I was going to make a…
One of my favorite Christmas presents this year was a Seek Thermal camera to use with my Android phone. This allows for a lot of idle physics-y fun, taking pictures of things in thermal mode.
One idea I had was to do a sort of follow-up to the test of my insulated mug that I did a couple of years…
Heh, I recognized the line immediately.
My office mug has the periodic table on it.
I, too, recognized the line. A friend sent me all the LOTR "secret diaries." I especially enjoyed Legolas.... :)
Then there's the "Once More With Hobbits" site (omwh.com).

Recognized that right away! I have the "How I detest this life of vile servitude" mug that used to be available from the same shop.
I tossed this out to my class:

I approve.
Current one is the Dilbert Google mug.
