The List

Computer Coolness: Rendezvous Project Laptop Cover

Available for 11" and 13" models, this strip of eco-friendly, hole-punched polystyrene will stick to your comp thanks to unexplained Japanese super technology, fully protecting the top/bottom, but not covering the sides, leaving your ports exposed and letting you open and use your machine by quickly undoing a few straps, though your inability to smoothly unhook straps is the reason you're using your computer so much in the first place.

The Japanese would never entrust their computers to something that didn't rock, so get it at JapanTrendShop.com

Wall Art: SlickSticks

SS makes stickable wall decals based on iconic childhood stuff, but escapes pesky licensing fees via naming subterfuge, evidenced by the Asteroids-ripping "Space Rocks" (triangle ship/bullets/enemy space ship/variously sized...space rocks), the "Yellow Gobbler" (something that looks a lot like PacMan/ghosts/pellets/cherries), and "Dinosaurs", which features a t-rex, a triceratops, a pterodactyl, and other creatures originally invented by Steven Spielberg.

You can find a few wall gems up at SlickSticks.com

Sax Appeal: 80s Sax Solos

80s catalogs 50+ playable clips of killer saxaphoneage from the decade's hits, providing handy quick-reference symbols (e.g., a bullhorn for "blaring", school bus for "middle school level"), grades from A to F, and one-sentence summaries, because when it comes to Donna Summer, "Nothing expresses how hard a woman can work for her money like a sax solo".

Throw on your headphones and get lost in the 80s at ImAComputa.org
