This blog is written on a Mac Powerbook laptop. While there are software struggles to deal with and websites that do not comply, I love this computer and wouldn't give it up.
But I do have one little pet peeve.
As a new writer and a full time marketer (and a father, husband, volunteer . . .) I don't always get the sleep I need. When I do get to sleep, my ability to get to sleep and stay that way is kind of important. So, you'll understand if any small distraction catches my attention.
So, the distraction I wanted to solve was the pulsing light on my Mac that indicates the computer is sleeping. It goes bright then soft, bright then soft, bright then soft. Oh sure I could throw a towel over it or a t-shirt. But this is my Mac and there are always cool and quirky solutions out there for Macs.
Here's my solution . . . introducing Snuf™
A small piece of foam with an exterior coat of white pearl plastic. It slides gently over the closed laptop while at rest. It would also fit over my Airport Express wireless extender (which burns bright green when operating properly).
Any other Mac users out there?
Does this solve a problem for you? Or am I just sleep deprived and light sensitive?
You know you can turn off that blinking light with a little bit of software.
That being said, I think there are tons of people who would get a little cover if it were available, then they wouldn't need the duck tape.

Hey Erich - Yes, I figured there was a more modern solution. Another dream smashed to smithereens! Thanks for stopping by . . .
