The new addition to my tech family has been officially named - the Chromebook is henceforth dubbed, "Rover" with a login avatar of the namesake giant white orb capturing Number 6.
But the next critical question was how to personalize Rover and make it truly my own?
A good friend suggested a custom graphical skin and there was no question as to what design to use. I've Just ordered it from decalgirl.com.
My new favorite bit of tech will soon be boldly emblazoned with John Warwicker's universally-acclaimed design work for Underworld MkII's debut on Junior Boys Own from 1994 - one of the most memorable works of the Tomato Art Collective.
The piece which directly inspired my pursuit of a design degree, produced for the album which first exposed me to music beyond top 40 and flung open the doors of my mind to all the discoveries which followed.
Ladies and gentlemen -

What good is tech if you can't have a bit of fun with it?
