By the way, I set a 5-minute alarm for writing this post. It ended up taking around 15.
I give up. :P
I posted about this on Twitter and Tumblr yesterday, but I thought a few more pictures were in order (mostly because they turned out so nice in the lightbox I built, more on that later).
Anyway, here's the tray I built to house the Magic Trackpad and Wireless Keyboard we're now using with our Mac Mini HTPC. I love how the warm curves of the wood grain play off the clean, industrial lines of the aluminum, plastic, and glass.
Plus, it's a whole lot easier to use a stationary trackpad with a TV than it ever was using a mouse or remote. :P

Potential cost if I'd gone with one of these alternatives (interesting that most of the ones I've found are from outside the US):
Actual cost: much less than any of those
Want one? Let me know.
I'm thinking of selling them for about $45-50, keyboard and trackpad not included, (In other words, you supply the magic.)
Just contact damenleeturks on either Twitter or Gmail.
Not that I'm trying to justify swearing, but I enjoyed
I have heard it said that “damn” is not swearing, that it is only emphasis.
I was preaching one night with the late President John Henry Smith, in the opera house in Phoenix. The legislature was in session. Hearing that two of the “Mormon” apostles were there, some of the members of the legislature waited on us and said they had arranged to hire the opera house, and they would agree to fill it if we would condescend to preach. Well, we usually hire our own hall and condescend to preach to empty benches; so, of course, we condescended, and were delighted with the opportunity.
One of the good sisters who came down from Mesa was sitting behind a man while I was preaching, and she heard him say, with emphasis, that I was an earnest preacher. Pretty soon, with that emphasis again, he said I was a good preacher, and finally once more with emphasis he said: “That man believes (with emphasis) every word he is saying.”
I ask no greater compliment.
