I recently won an iPad. It has some nice SQL monitoring tools as well as email and Citrix so it works great as a tool. It also has Angry Birds, Worms, Pandora and guitar amp modeling so it's a great toy, just ask my kids. There's also my bikes. They are tools in that I commute to work year round, get groceries and haul lumber on them, but they're also a great source of fun and entertainment. Tool and toy are not mutually exclusive and many things fit happily as both.

Since it's Friday do you think I can get away using things as toys instead of tools at work today? Like surfing the web on my work computer instead of working on those SSIS packages :hehe:
