A Perfect Pink Case for Your MacBook

The Peony Pink Sleeve from Case-Mate is the perfect companion for your 13″ MacBook. The color is adorable and for $99, you are getting a high-quality sleeve for your notebook. The impact resistant molded shell is made out of italian pebblestone leather, and protects your precious laptop from the elements (dirt, dust, etc).

PC users are SOL because it was made exclusively for Apple notebooks. I actually have this exact notebook and I actually LOVE this exact shade of pink so it’s a win/win situation. (BTW - it is also available in green/black/white for all you boring people).

Verizon’s Take on the iPhone: The LG Voyager

Verizon Wireless announced today a series of new holiday phones. Among the bunch (which includes the new BlackBerry Pearl 8130) is the aptly named Voyager, by LG.
The Voyager looks strikingly similar to the iPhone, and it’s no surprise, considering the huge amount of success Apple has encountered with the trendy touch screen technology. One benefit the Voyager has over the iPhone is the flip-down QWERTY keyboard, making it easier for those who have trouble with the tiny touch-screen keyboard. It also has a secondary screen for e-mail, texting, and games. The Voyager supports V CAST TV for live digital TV viewing and stores as much as 8GB of media on a microSDHC card, and has a 2megapixel camera.

All of the new phones from Verizon will be in stores by Thanksgiving… just in time for holiday shopping! No word on price yet.

There are various note-taking apps in Linux such as Tomboy, GJots2, the sticky notes applet, KNotes and more. However, there’s nothing like a note/PIM integrated in Emacs, if you ask me.

Org Mode is nice because of the following:

It’s just a bunch of text files which you could edit quickly and easily find.
It’s free form. You could format it in whatever possible way. You could assign vaious tags for particular items.
Not much clicking around. — For me, that’s a good thing. It means I just have to have the list and type stuff in. It’s simple enough that way.
There are many people have shared the way […]
