Wrap it up!

No. Not as in the protect yourself, cause you can't really be sure of where this chick has been sense... (Think about it).

Here @ FC0M, I've expressed my like for any way to personalize your tech. Pretty them up. Differentiate yourself from the crowd of i-gadget, notebook or any other techie gear carrying sheep. Impress your geek friends with your fantastic resourcefulness and sense of style I say.

Two companies I have used and recommended for fancy-ing up your tech http://www.skinit.com/ and http://www.gelaskins.com/ will provide you with simple do-it-yourself kits to pretty up your gadgets in less than 5 minutes.

Well, here it is a few weeks ago I am indulging my hunger for all things automotive and I find yet another ingenious way to personalize your technology, albiet on a somewhat large scale.

"When a BMW 335i owner in Munich became bored with his black coupe, he hired a team to wrap it in white tape. Two days later, he drove home in his refreshed "Alpine White" coupe (with an M3-appearing black roof). No, it's not normal tape. It's a special 3M wrap, and the process is known as "foiling." Apparently, the German military has been using the process (with an olive drab tape) for some time now. Likewise, the process is popular with race teams and taxi companies. Available in countless colors, the tape itself is thick enough to protect the paint from minor chips and nicks, and it can be left adhered to the surface for 3-4 years without damage (!). Adhesion isn't a problem either, as the tape can even withstand an automatic car wash without peeling off."
