			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I ordered a few things from <a title="Thinkgeek Shop" href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/" target="_blank">thinkgeek </a>, an online shop featuring &#8220;Stuff for smart masses&#8221;. Last time I bought T-Shirts there, I was one of about five people placing a collective order in an effort to split the shipping costs and ended up waiting for about 3 months till everything was available and reached us here in Germany, so this time I ordered only my stuff and 4 days later the box was here.</p>
<p>Now I can enjoy a few new T-Shirts, I in particular like the one debating <a title="Schrödinger's Cat T-Shirt" href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/unisex/sciencemath/6dff/" target="_blank">Schroedinger&#8217;s Cat</a>, some fancy gadgets, a spork and of course a RFID blocking wallet. However there are a few minor cultural and technical problems. For the technical part, I&#8217;m not sure where to put the nice power adapter for one of the gadgets that is  expecting a 120V line but as it&#8217;s a standard adapter I hope to find something around here matching the output. The cultural part is a little more difficult. I completely forgot that American wallets don&#8217;t usually have a place for coins because it&#8217;s customary to keep change in your pockets instead of your wallet. I on the other hand hate loose coins in my pocket, but I&#8217;ll give it a try. The lack of a suitable place for coins is compensated by quite a few places meant for credit cards of which an average German person owns maybe two or three (debit cards included) but nowhere near ten. Those minor difficulties aside I am really enjoying the stuff that was in that box and already think of starting a new wishlist.</p>
<p>So much to buy &#8230;. <img src='http://www.alexander-girgis.de/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
