Vertical blinds by any other name still smell like vertical blinds. But 10 points for effort. :)

Well, I think these vertical blinds look kind of sculptural and wonderful, and I would love to work with them some time. But I kind of agree that I'm a little afraid of what other people might do with them, I'm sorry to have to say.

techno grave markers were in the SF movie Serenity.
I hadn't realized it was a product placement.

It looks like a panty liner.

Um, assume we are talking NOT about the big granite headstone with embedded monitor...

Oh, sorry Patrick, I forgot about the huge contingent of regular commenters who have no idea what a panty liner looks like. I was referring to the vertical blinds.

I can't bash Redi-Shades enough. They are a horrible product. Often times, they don't extend all the way down to the bottom of your window. You can't easily move them up and down with a pull. Instead, you have to use lame plastic clips. Do yourself a favor and pony up the dow for plastic blinds at least, they're still temporary but much more functional.
