As I wrote in a previous post, my research on technology modifications inspired me to do the same- take my own advice and make my stuff really “mine.” So, I checked out Adafruit’s wiki and did a little searching… eventually I found Tech-Tattoos. I noticed in the Adafruit forum, someone from my hometown who was starting up a new laser etching business. Excited but a little nervous, I immediately fired off an e-mail to Jen Horvath, the co-founder of Tech-Tattoos, where they will “zap your crap.” Immediately, she emailed me back, a little surprised and impressed that I found her- as she didn’t have a website yet. The whole process was amazing, and painless (no needles- i don’t like people tattoos).
She even let me press the button- as you can see from this image, I watched the laser etching machine take my clean, untouched MacBook Pro and turn it into my guardian angel :-)
