Even though I'm an ardent Mac guy and never walk into a Walmart this is actually pretty cool.

HP has redesigned the packaging of the HP Pavilion dv6929 by replacing conventional shipping materials and boxes with the HP Protect Messenger Bag with fabric made from 100 percent recycled materials.

The design, which Wal-Mart has named the winner of its Home Entertainment Design Challenge, reduces product packaging by 97 percent, conserving fuel and reducing CO2 emissions by removing the equivalent of one out of every four trucks previously needed to deliver the notebooks to Walmart stores and Sam’s Club locations around the country.

The computer is exclusively available in Walmart stores and Sam’s Club locations, where the notebook will be displayed on shelves wearing only the HP Protect Messenger Bag. Customers who purchase the HP notebook will leave the store with the computer and its accessories in the notebook bag - sans box. The stores will also offer free recycling of old computers when the HP notebook is purchased.

Uhm, Hey Chris, I think there must be an echo in here, look down about 8 or 9 threads man!

As you can see I am participating in "Be Late for Something Day."

Call it my little celebration of the day.







(or call it a mid-life moment)
