Friday Link Dump, July 7th, 2006
I’m thinking I may make this a regular feature, as it helps me get the links on the virtual page and off my tab bar. Links The 10 Commandments of Cell Phone Etiquette. Sounds like a good start to me.…

MacBook ProPowerbook + Surrealist Art + Laser Etcher = A Royal Case Of Envy
Now that’s just cool. An enterprising (and brave!) young lad took a laser etcher to his MBPPB and the above is the result. That’s pretty darn cool, if you ask me. The source image was Magritte’s “Son of Man“: Now…
