Speaking of great iPhone apps for Biz Fast Trackers, I'm happy to see that one my favorite business organizational programs is now available for the iPhone.

To that end, check out these very cool (and yes, super geeky) vintage Apple keyboard cufflinks made from a rare Apple III computer. Though these guys are a little pricey -- $75 for the set -- the keys come off the integrated keyboard of a 1980 Apple III which sold for $8,000 in its day. Find out more from Geekware. Also, I'd like to mention I first found out about these cufflinks from...
