Lest we forget Farrah http://www.geekculture.com/mt2/archives/2009/06/lest_we_forget.html In amongst all the Wacko-ness, let's not forget to remember the beautiful and talented Farrah Fawcett, who also died recently after a valiant fight with cancer. Here's a great clip of her in her prime, on the Partridge Family. Oh how I envy you Danny and Reuben!

An extended clip of that episode is here.

Two reviews of UNIEA cases. http://www.geekculture.com/mt2/archives/2009/06/two_reviews_of_1.html Here's a couple of reviews of some cases from UNIEA Corp. They make a ton of cases for laptops, iPhones, and cameras, and for just about any gadget you may have. We tried out UNIEA's Omniverse case, a universal-fit case for MacBook 13-inch and similar size laptops. We used it with our MacBook Air, and although it was a bit roomie, it worked fine. A MacBook will fit perfectly in there.




The Omniverse is a soft sleeve with a hint of a heavier case to it. It looks pretty funky with the silky pillowy outside stitching... you'll be tempted to curl up with it and use it as a pillow. What we really liked about it was that it has handles! (That's one thing I miss on our Booq MacBook Air sleeve, the lack of carrying handles.) But what's cool about the handles is that if you don't want to use them, they tuck away inside the walls of the sleeve. You don't always want to have handles, but when you do, it's nice that they are so easy to sprout. On one side, there's a large zippered pocket for your mouse, power adapter, or papers. In addition, the holes where you tuck in the handles can also double as additional pockets for smaller accessories, and those have snap closures, so there's lots of places to stuff your stuff.
