Laughing Squid Sponsors Leah Culver’s Laser Etched MacBook Pro

Leah Culver

Leah Culver came up with a unique way to generate enough money to buy a new MacBook Pro. She works as an interface engineer at Instructables (a division of SQUID Labs) and one of the things they do is laser etching, so she sold ad space on the top of her MacBook Pro to several companies, who in turn had their logos laser etched on the surface. Laughing Squid was one of the sponsors (we are in the bottom left corner). Forget about stickers on laptops, laser etching is where it’s at.

You be able to see Leah and her newly etched laptop on a future episode of Diggnation or on November 25th at Ritual Coffee Roasters in San Francisco.
