So I get poked fun of at work any time I wear a Sun shirt.(And no I don’t have Sun Underwear, or Sun Socks, or anything with a Sun logo that is below the belt.).. When I first started I pretty much wore a Sun logo’d item every day… (I have enough, more on that later). I have cut back some (have to dress up a little more now.) So I decided tonight to start going through the house to find all of my Sun stuff. So far this is what I have found:
- Numerous ink pens. Everything from the pen/highlighters from classes, to some more expensive ones that are engraved/etched.
- Sun Mints (got to say one of the weirdest)
- Sun Sun Glasses
- Various Sun Hardware, from Servers to workstations. (SPARC2, 5, and Ultra 5)

This is just what I have found in the couple of hours I looked briefly through the house. And for the proof here are some pics. So as you can see I am a “Sun Geek”.
The small knobby thing is a mic holder, isn’t it?
Yup… you guessed right.
Yeah but do you have a sun pen that you can blow bubbles with? I do.
Nope. but after the bubbles are gone it is just a regular pen, that I have many of … 😉
