I came across a post recently that explained how you can set your Mac's volume to "ultra-quiet" via a combination of keyboard shortcuts. This sets the volume to a barely audible level. The problem of course is that it's barely audible. Here's a better way that allows you to set the volume to the optimal level for you. Related posts:

360-degree rotating plug with 4 locking position and a mini-USB cable to charge virtually any USB device. I love the fact that it doesn't cover the second plug in an outlet, and at only $12 I think it's a bargain! Related posts:
