That’s right: The Macworld Expo Survival Kit (gas mask optional!).

To kick it off, what better way than to show yesterday’s most excellent explanation of why social-networking pretty lady Facebook is worth those 15 billion samoleans, a la J. Wellington Wimpy (”You know how many hamburgers that is?”).

Thus, we were unprepared for the plethora of people inquiring about wanting to join a real one. Sadly, this is not to be, as we’ve got a lot of other priorities around here at AllThingsD.

Nonetheless, that did not stop our friends over at Geek Culture from celebrating AllThingsWalt with this nice medallion, pictured here, which we make available free to all who want to print it out, cut around the edges and create a lovely button to wear proudly at all tech events of note.
