Geeky + Crafty = Me

I love my MacBook, but its clean, sleek white case was lacking a bit of personality. Sure, I could get a fancy vinyl skin or some flashy decals for it, but I was struck with a sudden, simple, crafty impulse. Here is the result of that inspiration. I love it! Now, it needs a name. What do you think?

    How about Byte? Because he has a bite taken out of his Apple logo head.

  • After 2 years, I still haven’t figured out a geeky+crafty thing to do with my Mac Book Pro.
    When put to a vote, someone often says, the eyes have it.

    Too cute! How about Frank? It has no relevance at all to the eyes or the apple, I just like the name.

    How about Jonathan? There’s a Jonathan Gold apple (I think) and it just sounds cute!

    LOVE this. And you should name him (it?) Walken…after Christopher Walken’s SNL sketch about the gardener who is so afraid of his plants he puts googly eyes on them!!

    LOVE this. And you should totally name him (it?) Walken…after Christopher Walken’s SNL sketch about the gardener who is so afraid of his plants he puts googly eyes on them! Google it!

    Jack — as in Apple Jack …. you could also package and sell the concept as “Apple OOgles”

    He’s just way too cute!!! I decorated my laptop with Dallas Cowboys Stickers and the top has a big star but no googly eyes. Maybe i should give the star eyes too lol.

    Anyway, great idea.

    WOW, you are all very creative with your name suggestions! At first, I was thinking of girls’ names, but I must say that now I’m leaning toward “Walken,” because I LOVE that sketch from Saturday Night Live. @Athena, thanks for reminding me. Christopher Walken is so funny when he does comedy. Something about his deadpan delivery, and the way he looks so serious, even when he’s saying funny stuff. And the googly eyes on houseplants thing makes me laugh every time I watch it!

    While I am not a big fan of Macs I love the mod to the Apple logo *hehe* they should hire you as their creative director hehe.

    ;) Nicely done Geeky Mom!

    cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!

    How about “Ozzie” after Australia – both Australia and the apple have a big bite taken out of them.

    I have to agree that MacGoogle is a great name. If only he could talk… he could call you a bonnie lass.

    Yes, MacGoogle is cute, except… I can’t bring myself to name my very special computer anything with “Google” in it. I’m weird. Hubby suggested Mac-a-noonie, which is how our 3 year old daughter says “macaroni.”

    That is really neat! Wonder where the google eyes came from….
    You make me happy.
    Love, Mom

  • [...] love the eyes on my MacBook, so I decided to hot-glue some onto my plain, black laptop tote. And now it’s trying to sneak onto [...]

    When I stumbled across the GOOGLEY-EYE gardener this past summer(2008), I sent all of my Cactus and Succulent friends the video clip. Being a CACTOPHILE and WALKENOPHILE, I was in seventh heaven. The SNL skit is (to say the VERY least)–HILARIOUS!!! Walken is a horrific-terrific comedian! If you can find these movies at your local BLOCKBUSTERs, rent them. They will give you an idea of the variety of talents this fabulous actor has. A sample list: UNDERTAKING BETTY (aka–Plots With A View) [2002], SCOTLAND, PA [2001], BLAST FROM THE PAST [1999], ILLUMINATA [1998], BUSINESS AFFAIR [1994], to name a few lesser known movies. Enjoy!!!
