			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/mac-decal.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3760" title="mac decal" src="http://www.hermanmiller.com/lifework/wp-content/uploads/mac-decal.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="480" /><br />
</a>&#8220;We&#8217;ve said before that we&#8217;re not the biggest fans of laptop decals, but we have shared a few designs that were close to converting us. Well, we thought we were close until we saw these and then realized the others were a world away from the creativity and all around great design of these decals. These decals are from Etsy seller <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/beepart">Beep Art</a> who is located in Canada. They draw inspiration from tattoos, retro art and iconic cultural imagery to create vibrant, unique pieces. They offer products beyond laptop decals, but these are our favorite.</p>
<p>Each decal is made from high quality self-adhesive vinyl that will not leave any glue residue when removed. Each decal is shipped with easy to understand application instructions, for those that wouldn&#8217;t know how to apply a decal!</p>
<p>Our favorite is the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/46422970/woodgrain-laptop-decal">WoodGrain decal</a>, it reminds us of <a href="http://www.unplggd.com/unplggd/gregorys-refreshed-and-refreshing-home-office-tech-tour-093960">Gregory&#8217;s Refreshed &amp; Refreshing Home Office</a>. The great thing about these decals is that they aren&#8217;t just for Macbooks — they&#8217;re available for Mac and PC in a variety of sizes.</p>
<p>Each decal sells for $12 and is sent regular post to avoid high shipping costs.</p>

<p>When it&#8217;s a notepad. A <a href="http://www.PixelPads.com/PixelPads_I_Home.html" target="_blank">PixelPad</a> has all the design grace of the iPad but is about as low tech as you can get. And it&#8217;s so much cheaper. For <a href="http://www.PixelPads.com/PixelPads___Buy_Awesome_Pak.html" target="_blank">$24 </a>you get a 64-page pad (printed with vegetable inks), 3 pens and a refill-pad. And while it&#8217;s designed for web designers (hence the 10-pixel grid) I think most of us would appreciate the clean design. Read the history of the PixelPad <a href="http://www.PixelPads.com/PixelPads___About.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Looks like Andrew, the designer, should have jumped on the iPad name a little sooner!</p>

<p><em>It&#8217;s finally here. After an extraordinary amount of hype Apple&#8217;s <a href="http://www.apple.com/ipad/" target="_blank">iPad</a> has hit the streets. Unplggd ran a great roundup of stylish cases. At a starting price of $499 the iPad is not cheap so you want to make sure you keep it safe and sound. And if you&#8217;d like to throw your hat in the ring to win an iPad check out Unplggd&#8217;s <a href="http://www.unplggd.com/unplggd/win-an-apple-ipad-enter-unplggds-the-perfect-workspace-contest-113082" target="_blank">Perfect Workspace 2010 competition</a>. Cerentha</em></p>
<p>&#8220;With April 3 right around the corner [this post ran last week! Cerentha], we wanted to roundup 10 more of our favorite <a href="http://www.unplggd.com/unplggd/surveys/the-big-reveal-the-apple-ipad-107149">iPad</a> cases. There have been quite a few more cases that have debuted since our last iPad case <a href="http://www.unplggd.com/unplggd/roundup/10-great-ipad-cases-108784">roundup</a> and these are the ones that we think are pretty great.</p>
<p>Due to the newness of the <a href="http://www.apple.com/ipad/">iPad</a>, many of these cases do not yet have pricing information and are only available for pre-order. Our picks vary in terms of price and materials, handmade cotton cases and carbon fiber both made our roundup. Here are our nine favorite iPad cases and one neat iPad decal. We cheated a little with the inclusions of the iPad decal, but it was too fun not to include.</p>

<p><a href="http://mashable.com/author/amy-mae-elliot/" target="_blank">Amy-Mae Elliott</a> over at Mashable has done a really nice job finding cool geeky items for the office. You can check out the list <a href="http://mashable.com/2010/03/06/geek-your-office/" target="_blank">here</a>. My favorite is the <a href="http://www.firebox.com/product/2322/The-Million-Dollar-Homepage-Poster?via=ser&amp;currency_conversion=1" target="_blank">Million Dollar Homepage poster</a>. As Amy-Mae says it&#8217;s inpsiring to think about a simple idea well executed can be so successful. I hadn&#8217;t heard the story behind the graphic poster. In 2005 Alex Tew, a student from Wiltshire, England created a website to help raise money for university. The <a class="mw-redirect" title="Home page" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_page">home page</a> was made up  of a million <a title="Pixel" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel">pixels</a> and the image-based links were sold for $1 per pixel in <span>10 × 10</span> blocks. If you bought a block you provided a small image and a URL was linked to the image that directed traffic back to your site. By January 2006 the final 1,000 pixels were sold on <a title="EBay" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBay">eBay</a>. How much did Alex raise all up? $1,037,100 in gross income. Brilliant.</p>
