My phone
My computer
Joi Ito recently posted a picture of some stickers on a laptop cover. Seems like not only was the laptop cover prominent in a movie, but had a sticker from his dear Infoseek.
He’s posted other photos of laptop stickers before, and so have I (Mena and Minna, for example). But, since I’m not so computer-based, it’s my phone that gets plastered.
This is my second phone I’ve done this to. Most of my stickers actually have some story associated with them, sometimes even after I stuck them on. And I’m already on my second layer as some stickers fade or lose relevance and I stick another on top.
I find it fun, like some physical substantiation of thoughts and memories. And unlike some 17-inch PowerBook, I don’t have much space, so I need to be thoughtful and creative.
In contrast, the first thing I did when I got my laptop was to actually remove the Windows and Intel stickers. The only sticker I put on was an RFID sticker that SMSs me ‘I have your laptop’ when some one reads it with a Nokia NFC cover. So maybe not as many stickers on my laptop as others, but at least mine does something cool.
