Our Cisco Live Certification Gift

What are These Things?

. What's this?

I stopped by the Cisco Live World of Solutions Certification Lounge last night and was handed a "gift" at the door.

What are these things? :-)

I think they made a movie about these metal balls.

I guess we're supposed to roll them in our hands during late night outages, massive change controls, and certification exams. :-)

One thing is for sure. I'm keeping them away from my iPhone and PC. The magnets in these things are attracting soda cans from across the breakfast table. :-)
