When a client calls, I reach for the phone with my left hand and the red ball with my right. Then, as the client asks their question, I flip my wrist and read them the answer.
Every consultant should have one of these.

I'm about to let you in on a little secret:
it's that red ball to the right of my ThinkPad.

I have no idea; given the number of people who have written to inquire, I could make a bundle if I had them to sell.
Mine's not for sale. I need it to serve my clients with.

The Red Ball apparently hails from CDW - the technology reseller. Some history on this page:

Almost at the bottom ... search the page for the word CDW, or just look for the red ball photo. There are some links you can follow that detail how to modify a cube of your own.
