Hi Julie,

Thanks for reviewing another excellent product. I do not play the guitar but my girlfriend does and the Snake would be a wonderful addition to her music/Mac setup.

Keep up the awesome reviews!

Adrienne

I like the simplistic design of these cases.

As for the website.....how about some podcasts or video reviews/demos of products, software, etc? Text and photos are great but so are movies and/or sound. :-)

Hey Julie,

How about the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon? It is historical fiction, romance, time travel, fantasy, etc. with a core group of really strong characters. Several coworkers recommended the series to me a year or so ago. I picked up the first book (Outlander....aka Cross Stitch) and it was super hard to put down. Here is a listing of all the books in the series:

Outlander (also titled Cross Stitch) Dragonfly in Amber Voyager Drums of Autumn The Fiery Cross A Breath of Snow and Ashes
