Last year, I posted about a laser-engraving technique developed by Joe Mansfield that etches artwork onto the covers of your Moleskine notebooks. It was a very cool idea then but unfortunately the folks at Engrave Your Book found that the process was less than rewarding to one’s health.

But now, Engrave Your Book is back online and ready to laser-etched more artwork for you, this time engraving artwork onto leather Moleskine covers instead (apparently not as terrible for your health as engraving straight onto PVC Moleskine covers). You can still create custom engravings for $60 or buy an artist series leather cover for $60 if you can’t decide on what to engrave.

I saw this post featured over at CrunchGear and now I really want it. Especially since it’s listed at TigerDirect for only $150.
The Samsung CLP-315 is a personal color laser that can print up to 17ppm on black and 4ppm in full color. It’s slow compared to big networked business printers (or all-in-one systems), but it’s perfect for personal printing solutions. I’d love to have this in my room to just print everything in color since I hate looking at stuff in greyscale when I know they don’t have to be.
And I know the cartridges are expensive, but they last a lot longer than ink cartridges, so I think the tradeoff is worthwhile. Look at big pictures of the printer below. YUM!
