Geek, and proud of it!

Here’s a nifty idea: use your lappy’s lid as ad space.

Uber-geek-girl Sacha did just that: she’s selling ad space on her laptop lid. She’s off to BarCampEarthToronto, and well, that’s about as much exposure you’ll ever need.

Give it a try. Digg the story.

Meet Mathilda

with 2 comments

She’s spiffy and shiny. And she’s got a Core Duo and 1GB RAM. I love her already.

She runs Windows XP Media Center Edition (whatever that is), though. But in a while, I’ll be giving her the respect she deserves — nothing less than a Fedora Core 5 or Ubuntu Dapper will do for her.

She’s a Dell Inspiron E1505, by the way. Pics to follow.

From Wired:

Rubber duckies with USB flash drives are cute, but dialog05’s idea to embed the tiny storage devices in everyday objects is downright inspired. … There’s the bra with a USB clasp, the trash can dock, and the must-have fixture (called essentials) that delivers the necessities of life – water, power, and data.
