  • Laptops On a Plane

     


    Things that are currently annoying about airports:

    1) Having to take your laptop out of your bag.

    2) Sticking all your toiletries in tiny containers, then in a tiny plastic bag.

    3) Not being able to bring your own water.

    4) No free wi-fi (this is maybe just me being spoiled), for the most part.

    5) The price of terrible sandwiches.

    6) Lack of seats; if you have a 200 person plane, why are there only 100 seats in your waiting area?

    7) Those packages of peanuts are so hard to open <--X-ed out for being hackneyed, and no longer valid.

    Well, friends, knock one of those items off the list:

  • Round Up: Cute Laptop Cases

     

    This is me. And my new MacBook. We just started seeing each other last week. We're very happy together, thank you. Blogging is about 10 times easier now that I'm working with a computer whose hard drive isn't on its very last leg, nay, toe. So now I need to get a bag for my new laptop, something I never did for my old one even though my parents gave me some money for one since I was in grad school and broke at the time. But rather than buy a bag, I spent the money on drinks out with friends and some lipgloss. Anyway, I'm determined to have a better relationship with this new one. I want to treat it right and maybe it'll stick around a little longer, put out a little more. If anything will make a laptop purr, it's got to be one of these:

about the blogger

Wendy Atterberry is a recent transplant to New York City via Chicago. You can often find her at some karaoke dive bar singing her repertoire, which includes "Midnight Train to Georgia," "Daniel," and most recently, "Sweet Dreams." Don't expect her to always hit the right notes. She lives in Manhattan with her boyfriend and two cats, and has a blog like everyone else.

Alex Zalben is a writer living in New York City. He's written for McSweeney's, Modern Humorist and PulpSecret.com. As one-fifth of the sketch comedy group Elephant Larry, he has been written up in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and pretty much every other major publication. Their blog was named one of PC Magazine's Top Blogs for 2007, and they recently won an ECNY Award for their viral short, "Minesweeper: The Movie." Alex did not know love until he bought his first Mac.

Steph Auteri is a freelance writer and proofreader who has been published in Publishers Weekly, New York Press, Playgirl, and other bastions of fine writing. She maintains a professional site https://www.stephiswrite.com, and also blogs about freelancing over at Freelancedom. You can keep up on her day-to-day by visiting her Twitter page.

Diana Vilibert is a freelance writer, among other things. Born in Lithuania, she now lives in New Jersey, where she doesn't have to walk to work ten miles in the snow, barefoot, uphill both ways. Diana cannot afford most of the products she writes about because she buys too many pairs of heels to make up for her shoeless childhood. She's written for MarieClaire.com, Janemag.com, and CosmoGIRL!.
