Last week I mentioned I was collecting stickers for my new laptop, and this weekend I slapped it together. The final product contains a couple dozen stickers, taken from some of the following sources:

• RedBubble (the Chicago stars stickers, the Inspector Spacetime sticker, and the Pirate Bay cassette-with-crossbones logo)
• UnixStickers.com (the Android sticker)
• Bomit.com (the Icee-style BOMIT logo at the top right)
• Benten Records (the Lolita No.18 and Mummy the Peepshow stickers)
• Jinx.com
• Third Coast Festival
• Sticker Mule (the excellent Github sticker)
• The Boring Store
• a couple Gapers Block stickers
• the Implied Regurgitation "I threw up" sticker (soon to be matched with a "Cthulhu fhtagn!" sticker)
• and a bunch of leftovers that I had from various StickerGuy.com orders.

This past week I invested in a new laptop, after using the previous one for about 6 years. I was unable to work from home with the older one, so I now have more incentive to take WFH days.

This new laptop is a model that isn't covered by the current list of devices on SkinIt.com, so I've been looking at alternatives to a laptop skin. The obvious second choice, of course, is to simply slap a bunch of stickers on the cover. After doing some research, I decided to go with that option, so for the past couple of weeks I've been looking through my sticker archives for appropriately cool stickers. (Yes, I have a sticker archive. I lived through the 90s, okay?)

I've also been getting some stickers online, including a bunch from RedBubble.com (which appears to have as much copyright protection in place as MP3.com did in the 1990s). I've also ordered the awesome-looking Glorp Gum stickers, but NOT the gum with a free T-shirt, because they're out of my size on a few shirts, I've also purchased an OBEY sticker, but I may contrast that with the similar style of the Jinx.com stickers.

These stickers were ordered last week, and it appears that a number of them will be arriving in the mail this Tuesday, So that's going to be New Sticker Day for me! I'll probably be posting a few construction shots on my Flickr stream, if laptop stickers are your idea of entertainment.
