After-Christmas Sales

I've been checking out the After-Christmas Sales for the past hour. Very disappointed with this year's online offerings. I didn't find much at all to tempt me. PB Teen came closest with their white iron decorative storage and their jewelry storage/display frames. Sadly the iron is still too expensive for my budget, but I think I can make my own frames. That'll probably be tomorrow's project, after I take my Mom to the thrift stores.

I'm also thinking of a new project -- portable religious alters made from broken electronics. I want to find an old laptop, take everything out of it, paint it, and put a Krishna figure inside. Then I want to do something similar with a cell phone. And an iPod. And a portable DVD player. And maybe even a CD player with a Shiva that pops out when the eject button is pushed.

This is going to be fun. I've wanted to mod computers for a long, long time, and this might be a move in that direction. eBay has a ton of laptops for as little as 99 cents plus shipping. I'm going to enjoy this.
