    Well I have my dv5t on order and it should be here August 4th :) Yeah!

    In planning for it's arrival I'll need to get a good graphic ready for sizing up once it's in. I cam up with the below design. I may have a few minor tweaks to add to it but once the new laptop comes in I just need to measure to make sure a standards 15" vinyl will cover everything I want and then I'll get this ordered. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

    Well I have the laptop in now, so I need to figure out what to do for my skin. I like the design I originally came up with but the metallic front of the keyboard and such doesn't quite match my design, I feel like it needs to be more clean so, back to the drawing board for now I guess.

    even though i suck at photoshop, i have some good ideas. I had one that i wanted to make my laptop look like it was wearing medieval armor. plated steel and leather straps and all that.

    Well I ordered my skin from Schtickers.com yesterday. Went with a different design, something much less busy than what I had at the top. Maybe I'll do another design eventually but I wanted to get this ordered and on the laptop as soon as possible the finger prints are killing me ;)
