I received a couple of new variations on one of my favorite gaming peripherals, the 3M Precise Mousing Surface (PMS), the mouse pad that does such a good job of giving your mouse consistent traction. The first model is a variation on the original PMS, maintaining the odd smallish shape, but it's now thicker (if not exactly "thick," it's still fairly slim) and less likely to curl, and offers a new set of even funkier colors (in case your eyes were getting used to the old ones). The other is a real breakthrough for gamers that addresses the small size of the pads mentioned above by offering a version that's a full 12"x16" (though this one is the same thickness, or thin-ness, as the original). Here's a gratuitous photo of two of the pads (I got a new digital camera and am dying for excuses to play with it) showing the funkiest of the small ones atop the giant one, with a mouse thrown in for reference. No word yet on pricing or availability of the new models.
