The Cheapest Way to Signal What You Work On

You want the thing on your bag to say something about what you do, and you do not want to spend money on it.

Where the time actually goes

There is no efficiency argument for a charm and we are not going to manufacture one.

How the Pixel Charm changes it

Two moulded charms on braided paracord with black triangular carabiners — real gates, not split rings, so they go on and off without a fingernail.

Where it sits in a real workflow

It hangs on a bag. That is the workflow. What it does do, better than most things at this price, is act as a giveaway: it is small, it does not break, it costs almost nothing, and people keep it.

Doing the arithmetic yourself

None. See above.

Who gains most from the Pixel Charm?

Impulse buyers, gift-givers, and anyone assembling a conference handout. If you want something that actually does something, the Keycap Fidget has working switches for four dollars more.

The first twenty minutes

Clip it on.
