Really Pretty iPod Stickers

I never leave my house. If I did become someone who ever leaves the house, I would totally get an iPod. I keep my music going as if it were my pacemaker. I also am all about some customization. That's why if I ever left the house and got an iPod I'd most definitely pick up some of these Shufflesome stickers for it.

Forget bulky rubber, silicone or rubber protective sleeves and cases - they're ugly, and who needs that? Besides, how much protection do you really need for your Shuffle? These cast vinyl stickers should protect your musical friend from scratching just fine, I imagine. And Dear Lord are they lovely. They should start making these for cellphones.

Laptop 2600

In my search for printable contact paper for designing my own laptop cover (which I never found... If you know where to find some PLEASE COMMENT!) I ran into this dude who used Con-Tact's Wood Grains contact paper to Atari-ize his laptop. Neat idea (and the controller is a nice touch, too!)

HOPE is Dead


...or at least it will be soon. The last HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth) conference will be held aptly at the Hotel Penn, NYC the third weekend in July. Registration is only $75 so be sure and make this historic event if you can.

As for me, the wife and I just moved into the new place, so I can't drop the funds for the plane ticket. So it goes.

The Last HOPE - July 18-20, 2008 - Hotel Pennsylvania - New York City
