The best place to search for something like this is on Etsy . In a qucik search under "laptop recycled" I found over 5 pages of options. Here's one laptop sleeve , a recycled event poster, waterproof and aesthetically interesting. With Etsy, if you write directly to the seller they will often create a custom piece for your specific needs (dimensions, style, extra pockets). And shopping directly from the seller for handmade recyled gear is a nice green alternative to big manufacturers.

Yum, please.

Yes, please, for my green hubby.

Gave some to a friend, I'd like these for myself.

Great to see you covering this movement, such an important marriage of spirit and design. My dad made reproduction Shaker furniture for thirty years, and the pieces of his that I inherited fit seamlessly with the Danish modern stuff I buy for myself.

Oh, yes please, for my very green hubby.

I'd give away the collection to the friend that I should really give my Midwest Modern book to.

Gosh, I’m so honored! I can’t wait to see the book, and I’ll make sure to do AT and all the other prospective reviewers proud. Thanks!

Improve our TV, Improve our Home

Part One

We would not have to watch PBS kids with a sad little oh-so-old-tv-induced shadow lingering just behind Curious George, which makes him look like he has a beard. I know that he does not have a beard, but my son, who is two and worships George, does not. This would improve life on our house greatly, as I would not have to explain to Dex, every time we go to the zoo, that, no, monkeys don’t have beards, except on tv.

Part Two

We would be able to afford something else for the house if we had your tv, like, for example, drapes. Somehow, the money ran out before the drapes were found, and now here we sit, watching Curious George and his beard, and the neighbors, looking in through our nearly bare windows, can see the disappointment on our faces. With a new tv, and the drapes we could then afford, the pleasure we’d take in your television could be, mercifully, private.

Part Three

A new tv would enable us to stop trying to tart up our old one with pretentious art books. This would improve our home in many ways, not the least of which would be that we could use this room like a family and stop pretending that we are people who still read pretentious art books. We are not fooling anybody, certainly not our neighbors, who can see, through our uncovered windows, that our disappointed faces are watching way too much tv to be able to spend any time reading our pretentious art books.

Part Four

If we won your tv we could spend time doing a little photo project to document the wonderful changes it produced in our home. Then, you could post the pictures to the site, and our neighbors, now denied access to the view into our house, could still see what we were up to the way everybody else spies on their neighbors nowadays: online.
