MJ and I headed down to Fry’s last weekend. I didn’t actually need anything, it was more of a sight seeing tour – having lived on the east coast all these years I had to check out this great electronics store my west coast friends had talked so much about.
While wandering through the aisles MJ spotted this gem:
I bought two. There will now be no question as to which cables on our network go to my desktop!

You do realize my daughter reads the planet!!! :) Maybe she won’t catch the comments here and realize I live 5 miles from Frys.

Thanks for the heads up, Robert! It also hit boingboing, and was improperly credited over at thedailywh.at but we got that sorted :)

You know, I’m tired of reading from all the haters making fun of this for being pink and glittery and selling to girls (yeah Xeni I’m talking to you.) Being a smart, tech savvy woman doesn’t exclude one from liking pink glittery things. I got sparkly stickers on my laptop where I code and animate and I got fancy art stickers on my iPhone where I manage social networks and websites. Pink and proud.

@Rachel I agree completely!
Pink, tech savvy and proud :)

I hated pink as a kid. I didn’t want to be seen as a brainless helpless girl. As an adult I feel I should be able to wear pink chiffon, rickrack, a fluffy tutu, and call myself George…and still be respected as intelligent and capable.

Now if you could only convince them not to use that evil packaging….
