Synopsis: Noko Leather Palm Rests are Amazing
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51762.0Work in RL has been very trying lately so pics soon, but I wanted to say thanks to my secret santa who is, I believe jolonnar. I had no idea I even needed one of his palm rests until I opened my gift and found a brand new black leather palm rest. Puts everything else I have ever used to shame. Exactly the type of classy look that I prefer and I couldn't be happier with the craftsmanship (and I'm even more thrilled that it's hand-crafted ... I know there's a lot of hoopla about the Handarbeit set, and I don't know German, but I know what "arbeit" means and now that I have this palm rest I prefer to translate Handarbeit as Hand-crafted and in that regard, this is my "Handarbeit."
Also.. my SS gifted me a couple of metal Cherry and GeekHack stickers. I'm not into flash but I am seriously considering making room for them on my boards because this gift makes me a little sentimental about Bunny's Secret Santa project. Particularly because in his note my SS made it clear that he put some effort into this and I really enjoyed that extra little bit of good-vibes over the holiday. Thanks Secret Santa!!
Also.. the only reason I know (or think I know) it's jolonnar is because of a slip where I could infer he made the palm rest I was holding in my hands and drooling over (and then the International tie in, that kind of helped too).
One more thing: jolonnar is the guy behind the Noko store front.
Here's hoping that everyone had a merry xmas not just here in GH, but also out there in RL!
P.S.
And my Xmas wish for everyone is to read more. And to do more. Read more and do more outside of your comfort zone.
If you haven't read Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Start there. Get the version that includes Brave New World Revisited and read the Revisited part first. Why? It'll give you a much better reason to want to read it. Or read Candide by Voltaire.
Whatever you're most afraid of is a good indication of what you need to do next.
