I liked my Logitech Performance Mouse MX a lot and the original Logitech MX Revolution was perfect. Before those I swore by the Wireless Wheelman series that is more or less their spiritual progenitor.
The problem? The first mouse lasted 5 years, the next 3 years, the next 18 months, the next 1 year, the next couple six months. The failure point of all of those were the switches (and the charging in one case). I wrote a utility to track click errors and calculated that they wasted about 8 hours of my time a week.
The quality and design of Logitech's mice really took a nose dive after the MX Revolution. If I'm going to have to replace a mouse every six months, I'm not going to continue dropping that kind of bread on them.
I've switched to a cheap Logitech M100 wired mouse. This mouse has served me well for almost two years, so maybe the quality control has improved. Wireless was nice but charging generally sucked and became worse with each new model. And going back to a wired mouse after 10 years wasn't annoying like I expected. The free-spinning wheel of the MX series was fun, especially on the original MX Revolution, but it's a feature I can live without. The tilt-wheel was cool but I don't really miss it.
Lizzie Cuevas, Director of Communications at Humble Bundle Inc. says:
"The charity split is and always will be a fixed 10% of Humble Store purchases. The charity list will change with time and giving both developers and customers the option to choose charities is something we will consider in the future."
That's how Humble Bundles work. The Humble Store is different. It has fixed prices and the customer has no control over how their money is used. It is possible developers have a say but this has not yet been made clear.
Don't know about your area but around here it is illegal to leave a running vehicle unoccupied.

Save anything that is foundational or fundamental to any particular field. Any book that continues to be cited academically or has increased in value on the used market should probably be kept.
My local public library system foolishly trashed some true classics in algorithms, graphics, and fractals simply because they were old. Now all you find in the stacks are books focused on instruction for specific software applications, books which are certain to be obsolete in a few years.

The White House respecting the First Amendment is not disappointing. Unexpected, maybe.
I own a 3GS and use AT&T for my other phone. I wanted to switch over to my 3GS because this "feature phone" I have is an absolute piece of shit. I was told I'd have to buy the data plan. I have WiFi, I don't need or want to spend another $30 a month for a terrible service I'll never use.
Similar dilemma: I love the primal quality of film and working in the darkroom, but practically speaking, a good DSLR is everything I need. I voted for practicality.
It looks legit. WotC was partnered with DriveThruRPG briefly a few years ago. DriveThruRPG seem to be ones behind that site.
Technical pens are for drafting and would be a nightmare for everyday writing.
They are not agile and require a high degree of control to use. They need to be held absolutely perpendicular to the writing surface at all times, and only work when held vertically with the nib pointing down. They don't write well or at all on certain kinds of paper, often damaging the paper. They are easily broken and are difficult and messy to fill, clean, and maintain.
Don't get a technical pen.
Without hesitation, I'd go with GameMaker along with the book The Game Maker's Apprentice, and followed by The Game Maker's Companion. The first book includes an older version of the GameMaker software which is all that will be needed to complete the exercises. If your child likes the process, move onto the second book which covers more advanced concepts. Those books, along with either GameMaker 8.1 or GameMaker: Studio should your child want to move onto more current versions, will all fit within your $100 budget, and it will only cost you $20 or so to get started.
The books are excellent learning tools and the GameMaker software itself was originally created by co-author and Utrecht University professor Mark Overmars to teach programming. It's a great way to get ones feet wet and very good games can be created with it if one is willing to put in the effort. If you child wants to move on to more popular languages, GameMaker will provide them an excellent foundation for learning them.
I went to highschool in New York in the mid-80s. We had about 30 Apple IIes in the lab. The school had an introductory course and an advanced course. We programmed in Applesoft BASIC entirely for both classes and assistance from PLE, a memory-resident program editing aid.
Programs we wrote in the advanced class:
