Friday is Recycling Day at my company, so I dragged all the electronic junk up from the basement and piled it in the dining room. I want to get it into the truck by Thursday, because temps are supposed to drop to below zero F and that's not a time I want to be carting stuff outside. So far, 2 monitors, 2 CPUs, a laser printer, several keyboards, a laptop, a typewriter, an old Brother word processor, a radio, and a stereo so old that it has a pop-up slot for 8-tracks. I may keep the radio--I don't know.

The size and weight of those PCs boggles me. I look at the laptop I'm using now, this 13" 5-pound does-everything-I-need, and I shake my head.

In other news, the turkey stock is still simmering. Hawks are playing the Predators; so far, the score is 1-all. The Hawks seem to be going through a scoring drought. I hope they get over it.

In even more other news, I ordered some MacBook and iBook skins from Gelaskins, which I think I heard about by way of rolanni. "Shore," "Bookshelf," and "Lady Baroque" for the MacBook, and "Kobe" for the poor little iBook, which will be 5 years old next month and is still working.

Glad you posted the link for the Gelaskins...I prowled through what's available for the smaller laptops (like mine) and found I liked Bookshelf and two of the Monets (garden and sunset in Venice) What I really wish is that I could put one of my own photos as a skin on my laptop, though. I'm too in love with nature photographs, I guess. The Roseate Skimmer male dragonfly, or the "evening in the woods" or something...

I think there are companies that will convert a photo into a skin. There's this one: http://www.uniqueskins.com/Categories/Laptops/, and I'm sure there are others.

You can get skins from your own photos at Schtickers (http://www.schtickers.com/)
