I have found my 'heads-will-roll-if-I-do-not-get-this' christmas gift for this year.
The Olympia SoundBug.

Here's the skinny: it's a small device about the size and shape of a computer mouse, except it has a big suction cup on it (getting good already isn't it?). You plug it into a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, stick it to any smooth, glossy surface, and turn on the music. The SoundBug will, as I understand, send vibrations and crap through the surface, making it act as a speaker.

Is that not utterly awesome? It can reach volumes of up to 75dBm (data Bits per mile), although it gives off some distortion at such levels.

Even better, though, is the ability to hook up multiple SoundBugs for more and better sound. I swear, if I had the money the walls of my room would be a mess of cords and silver lumps, pumping out shattering levels of Blindside and Anberlin.

At first even I thought the price, $26.99 on ThinkGeek.com, was a bunch of BS (Barracuda Spitoons), but that's probably because a new version of it, the $300 Omnivox, while having questionable superiority, has hit the market.

If I end up getting one, I'll post a full review here (many of the ones I've found so far seem a bit biased to one side or the other) for no conceivable reason. If I don't, I'll tell you all about the executions.

One more thing -- if anyone out there is really cool, they'll put up a copy of Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory or Reanimated on Ebay for $.01 on buy-it-now. They will also ask me my ebay name and restrict the sale, if they can, to me.
