Zoom Zoom! Omniture handed out miniature green RC race cars at SES San Jose. Bonus - they handed out cars in both the 49 MHz and 27 MHz frequency range, so by scoring one of each type, office desktop racing could ensue.

Zenned out

Silly swag from Zendesk (outsourced customer service): The Buddha Machine. It looks like an old transistor radio, but really it’s just a box that plays looping tracks of relaxing drones and chimes. Super-bonus: It has static!
