Apple Mouse Pro belt buckle
The first thing that I do whenever I get a new Mac is toss aside the included Apple mouse for a more robust mousing solution. This means that I have a number of Apple Pro mice (mouses?) laying around. Now I know what to do with them, turn them into belt buckles. Courtney was kind enough to write up some instructions so that everyone can share in the fun. Here are some pictures of two different styles. Pretty cool, huh? Well, cool in that nerdy I turned a mouse into a belt buckle kind of way.
Thanks, Dhiram.

Scott,
What is your preferred mouse solution? If not bluetooth enabled, do you have a recommendation for one that has bluetooth?

Thought I'd share this gem that I stumbled upon some time ago (even made on myself).

Scott, you are correct with either plural for mouse, but are more correct using 'mouses'. A computer mouse is a "headless noun" and thus pluralized following the normal rules (of which there are many exceptions).
'Mice" refers to a collection of rodents, but since the computer mouse was named after the rodent and shares some similarities, 'mice' can be used as well, but should be frowned upon.
The classic example is the maple leaf. Many of them are maple leaves. But if you are talking about many players of the Canadian hockey team, they are Maple Leafs.

I think the title of this article should be "Apple Pro mouse turned into chastity belt." Because there is no way in hell you will ever get a girl(or guy, not that there is anything wrong with that) to undo this "belt" to get to the goods....

Is that a girl in that picture? If it isnt - that guy has some odd shaped hips.

Um, yeah, I'm thinking with a name like Courtney either it's a girl or the guy has bigger problems than his belt buckle.

you should make it so the apple logo appears straight on instead of turned like that. That would definitely be the new apple tru playa fo real.

A sin against all that is aesthetically pleasing. And therefore a sin against everything Apple stands for in this world.

holy crap. What kind of nerd would wear such a thing? I would have to laugh pretty hard if I actually saw someone wearing one of these. Thanks for the laugh, Scott.

Who the heck cares if you'll "get laid" wearing this? That's not even the point! And why are you reading an Apple blog, but calling someone else a nerd? Really, don't comment at all if you can't find something nice to say, profanities and personal attacks are really unneccesary. Kudos to Courtney for coming up with a creative way to avoid the garbage.
