I’m very excited about this work going on at an MIT Media Lab. As technology becomes more and more mobile, I think this is something that would be wildly popular, providing it’s affordable.
The photo feature is my favorite!! What are your thoughts?

Customize your tech
Monday, May 5th, 2008I was catching up with my Google Reader today when I saw a post from Design*Sponge about custom engraving for your tech products. I was amazed at the possibilities with engraving, but unfortunately I’m not the type of person who can make up my mind when it comes to permanent designs. Luckily there’s another option (and luckily I didn’t know enough to jump on the engraving bandwagon a month ago).
Unique Skins offers design-your-own vinyl faceplates for laptops, cell phones, MP3 players, and game consoles. They are a fairly inexpensive and creative way to advertise your online portfolio, blog, business, etc., plus you can change your mind (and your tech faceplate) as many times as you want.
I gave it a whirl and enjoyed seeing how beyondwords would look on my Mac. Pretty slick, and a great conversation starter!
