I am an Apple-whore

I have officially gone mad.

I was lucky enough to receive a 13" Macbook Pro for Christmas, and I think I love this more than I have anything in my entire life ever.

As soon as I got it, I started thinking of ways to protect it.  I started with a hard-case, but I didn't want just any case - It had to be FASHIONABLE.

I then got to thinking, "hey, what about when my grubby, oily fingers start hitting the keypad?  It'll get the keys all shiny and then no one will ever want to touch my computer because they'll think I have really really gross fingers and maybe they won't want to like, get to know me or date me.  They'll only think of me as the guy with really oily fingers."

So I got a keyboard cover, or "keyboard condom" as my friends have so affectionately called it.  It's really nice and is something like .01 mm so as to interfere as little as possible with your typing.

I also go to thinking "hey, what happens when I rest my wrist on the sides by the trackpad?  And what about when I get my oily fingers on the trackpad?  It'll get all shiny..."

So I got a trackpad cover and wrist covers.


and here's the finished product:






The covers are actually really cool - I got them from a website called SkinStyler (.com) and they're pretty cheap.  Believe it or not, the trackpad cover is actually supposed to enhance the experience of trackpadding (technical term), and they have an area where they will accept your own designs for covers - so if you are particularly artistic or you just find a cool design on the internet, you can upload that jpg or whatever and they'll make it for you at no additional charge.

The keyboard condom is a product of moshi (.com).  It's also really cool.

Ok, I think my geek-out moment is over.  I was just really excited because I received the wrist and trackpad covers today.

Hooray!

Peace out.
