Vintage Book Computer Case

Like the new template? Blogger in Draft has a great new template maker, which I believe makes it look much more professional. You can actually edit all the colors. This template originally had a cream background and the accent color was olive green, and I changed it to pale blue with a few darker blue low lights.

I saw this FABULOUS laptop case through a blog (cup of jo perhaps? I never remember...). It's a hardcase so it protects the computer really well, and is extremely well disguised as a cool old book, so if you leave it in your car for a few minutes it doesn't instantly say "I'm worth over $1,500!!". They run for about $80 for the laptop my size, so I'll be holding off on this purchase for a long long time, but it goes on my "wish list" for now!

I just got back from a fantastic 4 days in Santa Barbara with my boyfriend, going to a fun bar, watching the original Star Trek movies, hanging out with hilarious and intelligent SB people, eating amazing breakfast burritos, and doing an awesome hike.
I'm looking forward to seeing some amazing girls who I haven't seen since our Paris Ete 2007!

Awesome Screensaver!

So I was perusing over Design*Sponge today and saw a cute little before and after of these people who redid this desk area and a shelving unit.  They took both pieces from total 70's drab to modern (with a slight throwback) fab.  Here's the before and after of the desk, just so you have an idea:  (The shelving unit redo was way better in my opinion, check out that second link to see it.)

But you want to know what I took away from these pictures?  "That is a fantastic screensaver!"  (I wasn't really feeling the hexagonal drawer pulls...)  Sure enough I wasn't the only person who thought so!  Buried in the comments for the post was both someone asking about it, and someone telling us where we could find it!  I love when that happens. :)  I quickly scurried over, downloaded it, and then spent awhile figuring out if I was doing it wrong and if it would work on my mac. Luckily it does and I eventually realized what I was doing wrong!  Now I have a darling screensaver whenever I neglect my computer for a few minutes.Here's an image of what the clock looks like, see the little AM and PM that move? and the tiles really flip over, it's pretty cool. Here's the link to the website, and it's the one on the far left, "FLIQLO".

ENJOY!
