Book for Your MacBook

"BookBook is a one-of-a-kind, hardback leather case designed exclusively for MacBook and MacBook Pro. Available in Classic Black or Vibrant Red, BookBook brings three levels of security to your prized Mac. First, the hardback cover and spine provide solid protection from the rigors of the road. Second, the vintage book design disguises MacBook for superior security. And third, the stylish case protects you from being like everyone else because BookBook is totally original, just like you."

I have one in red for my MacBook Pro. Love it! It even smells like a book.

Rest in Peace Salinger

On Wednesday, January 28, 2010, J.D. Salinger passed away at the age of 91. He was renowned for his  contributions to the literary community including "The Catcher in the Rye" and "Nine Stories."

"The Catcher in the Rye" is one of my favorite books. During my teenage years, I definitely related with the character Holden Caulfield.

"Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody."
