Geeky Things I Love: Decorated Laptops

Ursula5977 recently shared some fabulous photos of my new favorite geeky crafts project: Her decorated Macbook. She says:

Out of boredom and lack of a hobby, I took the liberty of rhinestoning my beloved MacBook! It’s almost to the point of tacky, but I absolutely love it. Instead of paying upwards of $1,400 to have it rhinestoned for me, I personalized it myself.

Keychain Pocket Watch

Easily accessible keychain gadgets seem to be all the rage, so I suspect the ISI Pocket Watch would be a real hit if it is eventually made. It unites a keychain with an unpretentious digital timepiece.

The digital display is housed in a semitransparent cube measuring 20mm square and the time is only visible when the cord is gently pulled. A separate turned aluminum holder houses two button cell batteries to power the clock. For additional images,

Pur Flavor Options Lets You Flavor Your H2O Right At The Tap

pur flavor options By David Ponce

Tap water (or any water for that matter) tastes pretty darn bland, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Proctor and Gamble’s “Pur Water Filtration System” (the kind that attaches to your faucet and filters the water on the go) just got an interesting upgrade: Pur Flavor Options. With this, you’ll be able to get strawberry, peach or raspberry flavoring right from your tap. The system works with an add-on flavor cartridge, which is inserted on a specially modified Pur Water Filtration System; press a button with the filtration on, and the flavoring begins. You can get up to 75 glasses worth with every cartridge, and as you might expect, the concoction contains no sugar, fat, carbs, vitamins or pretty much anything other than some taste.

We’re not sure about taste of availability, but there’s a nifty website for you to browse, with lots of flying fruit and some gimmicky games.
