Chance to Win a Mac Package for Back to School from iSkin!

Why should kids get all the back-to-school fun? I may be a bit old to go into raptures over the 64-box of Crayolas, but who says I can't still get the tingles over the shiny and the colourful? What I need, obviously, is the grown-up equivalent of wax crayons.

iSkin to the rescue! More than overcompensating for the loss of acceptability of crayons in the classroom or workplace, their back-to-school contest prize package is a doozy - MacBook, Mighty Mouse, iPod Touch and a selection of accessories all designed to send your inner kindergartener into a swoon.

Hop on over to the iSkin contest page and put your name in today! Note - contest is open to residents of the US and Canada. And you don't have to be a student :)

Super Cute Bags for Your Bike!

I came across this great post by Jan over on PoppyTalk (a great blog on emerging designers, with a focus on handmade) about bags for your bikes - if you can't have the traditional basket.  She posted a number of photos from different designers.  This one is my fav - it's the "Bicycle Bag" designed by Alexandra Cassaniti and available from OogaBooga for $96.

Have a Netbook? Looking for Sleeve or Case?

I got a new ACER glossy red netbook a few weeks ago.  I adore it, but I've already scratched the cover because I was carry it and the powercord in a sleeve that was too big for it.  Poor little netbook.  But I've learned my lesson and am here to help you not make the same mistake.  I've started a Funky, Chic and Cool Netbook Sleeve lens over at Squidoo.

Now, I'm just getting started, so you can expect to see more review there soon - but there are a few, including some super-cute sleeves from designers on Etsy!  Please drop by!
