The BlackBoard Pro

People should stop doing things just because they can.

Every week or so my MBP gets new drawing with pencil on it. I usually do it but sometimes others at school do one on it.

Oh, man - I was just contemplating the problem of affixing a stone tablet to the top of my MacBook Pro, so when I had a flash of inspiration, I could simply chisel a quick note to myself on it. But this is probably a much better idea!!!!!

I wonder how much thought went into his doing this? It seems like a really bad idea from so many different perspectives. The paint job isn't even very well done.

Chalkboard paint is pretty cool. The MBP is pretty cool. But unlike peanut butter and chocolate, these were never meant to be combined.

"You turned a DeLorean into a Time Machine?????"

No...

But you turned a Mcbook into a Tibethan Newton .....

"Well done"? Are you kidding? There's this recent invention called a piece of paper that comes in handy.

And for those of you who say you never shut down your computer, you're wasting a tremendous amount of energy.

I can't image why anyone would paint the top of their computer with chalkboard paint.

Does he know of Dashboard? And Notes widgets? TextEdit? And that Macs have a sleep mode that wakes up almost instantly when the lid is open, and ou could always leave some text app on before closing it? Why do you carry the computer around, moron?

Hi!

Great find - where do you get all this?

(Oh and a sidenote, can you make the Digg button more accessible, you'll be surprised how many more diggs you get.)

Who in the world carries around chalk to write with rather than a pen???!
