Further Convention Awesomeness

While we were at the convention, we met a fellow trekkie who had what is arguably one of the most nifty Star Trek gizmos ever. He had a PADD. Here's a pic.

He made it himself from a kit and the image is his own design. Here's a close-up.

The detail is really cool, and the best part was that it was made with a thin metal casing, so it felt lightweight, but had the right heft. It didn't feel like a plastic toy. My specific comments was we need to find the kit he used, make a hundred of them, then find some cutting tools and some iPads and make it work for real. Anyone looking for an early Christmas gift for me? This would rock.

Thanks, fellow convention-goer, for emailing us this pictures so we can share them.
