# Laptop Stickers

I scanned my laptop with an office photocopier so I could show off and document my laptop sticker collection.

## Whitep4nth3r

One of Salma Alam-Naylor's stickers. I picked it up at TechMids in 2023, mostly because I think it looks cool.

## charm_

A sticker posted to me from Canada by Charm to celebrate Bubbletea passing I think the 10k Github star milestone.

## GreatUniHack

A small part of a sticker from a hackathon that I went to that I thought was shit (I left early) but that had cool swag.

## Everything Everything

Everything Everything are a band. They make excellent music. I've seen them perform live more than any other band I've seen. Sticker obtained at a gig in Cambridge, April 2024.

## Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle

A Framework sticker that came with one of their laptops. I don't own a Framework -- the Framework 13 was announced just a little bit after I bought the pictured ThinkPad -- but my brother does, and I believe in their mission, so I'm happy to have nicked one of their stickers from him to display on my own machine.

## The Barber Institute

A sticker from the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, a gallery that sits on my uni campus.

## Tech Is Public Infra

Because, to some extent, tech companies should be regulated like utility companies. Obtained at FOSDEM 2025.

## A star

It's just a star.

## Wong's Pizza

Cory Wong is a musician. He makes some of the most diabolically funky music I know of. Sticker obtained at a gig in Kentish Town, February 2025.

## HackNotts 23

From a hackathon hosted in 2023 by HackSoc at the University of Nottingham which I attended.

## HackNotts 84

From a hackathon hosted in 2023 by HackSoc at the University of Nottingham which I attended.

## Tux!

Everyone's favourite penguin :)

## I Demo'd

Sticker from a hackathon saying "I demo'd!" because I did indeed demo a project. The sticker looks like a floppy disk.

## Scout Pride

A pride sticker from the UK Scouting association.

## Saint Motel

Saint Motel is a band. I saw them live in Wolverhampton, October 2024, where they allow the crowd to choose part of their set list by popular vote.

The sticker is actually reflective gold. It didn't scan well.

## MediaWiki

A MediaWiki sticker. Obtained at FOSDEM 2024.

## O.

O. is a band. There's two of them, one drum kit and one bari sax and holy balls can they fill a room. Introduced to them as a support to Django Django in December 2023 and then went to see them solo in Birmingham in 2024.

## Be Girl, Do Crimes

Look, I've got to have at least one really obvious, in-your-face queer sticker. This one was given to me and I do not think I will ever be able to find a replacement and I am sad about that fact.

## i have no idea what i am doing

I designed this one!!

## Crema de la Crema

hehe coffeeeeee

## OKDO

I took part in an internal hackathon at RS Components to test a new OKDO product and got (among other things) a sticker from it.

## Some people are trans. Get over it.

First sticker I stuck on my laptop! Way back in 2021.

## Designed for Microsoft® Windows XP

This is a genuine, OEM "Designed for Microsoft® Windows XP" sticker. I found someone selling some on ebay and bought three. Windows XP was the first OS I ever used, and used it all the way into my teen years, so it holds a little bit of a special place in my heart.

After I'd bought my share, I posted the link to this in my uni's computer science society Discord and the rest of the stock (about 10 stickers) got hoovered up in no time at all.

## Kirby

Pink, puffy and powerful.

## Computer Science Society logo (hexagon)

My uni's Computer Science Society logo, in hexagon format.

## Computer Science Society logo (hexagon)

## Holographic TeX

My uni's Computer Science Society mascot, TeX, on a holographic sticker.

## Pride TeX

My uni's Computer Science Society mascot, TeX, in their pride variation.

## The Gohper

The Gopher - the mascot of the only programming language I feel strongly enough about to plaster on my laptop.

## Tech Mids

Logo of my local tech conference.

## Firefox

I use Firefox. It's a decent browser. Shame Mozilla is slowly killing it and itself.

## MajorLeagueHacking 2023 season

I took part in some MLH 2023 season hackathons, where this sticker came from.

## Hackathons UK

Hackathons UK support a number of student hackathons across the country, including many I have been to :)

## I Went to FOSDEM and All I Got Was This Free Cert

A sticker from Let's Encrypt that I got at FOSDEM 2025. They gave an an intereting talk, too.
