Contour Design Messenger Bag for laptops

Personally I view it as a good thing, although I had a couple guys (ironically, some of the least manly guys I know) say “Nice purse”. However, I am secure enough in my masculinity (and in their lack there of) that I didn’t mind. I got the brown model, although it is also available in black - maybe that was the problem. The bag looks cool. It’s a very nice mixture of materials, with a leather and canvas exterior, and a cushioned, lined interior with an eye-catching checker-board print, and I can’t wait for Read more

This clever mod is the work of flickr user LübeckerJung
s girlfriend who made the design herself:

I found the artwork via google image search. She was part of the DVD-cover of Disneys Snow White. A little Illustrator here and a little Photoshop there and then i finally printed it at my local copyshop on a adhesive foil. “

Scooter users heart their Macs

Faithful Macenstein reader Eric from the Chicago Scooter Club (yes, it exists) ran a poll on their site about their member’s computer preference, and it looks like scooter owners prefer Macs over PCs by a factor of nearly 2 to 1! I’m not sure whether to be proud about that or not, but since scooters and geeks go hand in hand, I think we’ll take this as a win. Mac users made up 60% of the results, versus 31% for PC users, 6% using Linux, and 3% claiming they use “other”. Of course, those claiming “other” should really just go ahead and stuff themselves into a locker.
