Grab a piece of Apple history, for charity
The Boylston Street Apple Store opening in Boston was entertainment for all, especially Bostonians. The unveiling was almost as much fun as the facade. Among the souvenirs floating around, at least one is worthy of special note, as the sale of it will benefit more than just the lucky buyer.
Rescued from the dumpster and lovingly restored (to the best of the seller's ability, anyway), a chunk of the Apple logo that stood front and center on the "Green Monster" facade is up on eBay. All of the proceeds from the auction will be going to boston2portland, a bike ride to raise money for the cure of Parkinson's disease. You might not need a monolithic, duct-tape-textured, decorative piece of Apple history. But, maybe you'll bid for the benefit of a worthy cause and pass the spoils on to someone with too many bare walls, a love of all things Apple and very fond feelings for Fenway Park.
Check out the auction here.

Remember when Kramer found the set of the Merv Griffin show in a dumpster, and used it to host his own talk show in his apartment? That was the best Seinfeld episode, ever!

Lets just hope Apple is okay with this. Seeing as the proceeds go to a charity, I don't see much of an issue, however, selling it for personal gain might leave a sour taste.
