Amongst the stereotypical conference swag, there used to be a tiny fish-eye mirror with a notch out of the back, so that you could affix it over the corner of your monitor.

Poking around I couldn't find them, but there are rather a lot of tiny fish-eye mirrors being sold to affix to the top or corner of a car rear view mirror (so-called blindspot mirrors). Those should be in roughly the correct size classification.

ThinkGeek used to sell them, but that's not much help since I just discovered that TG no longer exists...

I discovered that before christmas. The Gamestop website is a joke, and ThinkGeek products don't fit well into it.

I really missed them on April Fool's Day this year. Like what's the point of even honoring the day if I don't get to start it by looking for the fake products in the TG catalog? Maybe I should just go back to bed.

K what? ThinkGeek is gone? Wow, and the website redirects me to EB Games Canada. RIP :(

That's neat and low-tech, I may just do that. Thank you!

Another victim of open office seating, I'm sure.

No, victim of LCD technology. Those little mirror things are only stable on CRTs. If you want em to stay put on a flat screen, you need to glue it down.
