Digital Message Tape Makes Moving Fun

It's that time of year in this college town I call home, and I'm in the thick of moving. If I never see another cardboard box, it will be too soon. If I had known about this (not so) Digital Message Tape before I started, labeling all those boxes would have been a lot more fun. Not to mention that I would have been the envy of every techie in my building when I opened up the moving van.

Despite its digital misnomer, this tape is completely analog. You can tape up whatever needs marking and use the included marker pen to color in the "display" to read your message.

The Digital Message Tape is available in both large (2" x 54 yds, $8.99) and small rolls (.7" x 36 yds, $4.99).

It's not quite digital but I find it very ingenious. I am a student myself and I know exactly how you feel about moving, there is no way I can handle my storage containers , boxes and other luggage alone, I prefer to save money for the moving day and pay a company to handle my stuff.

You have a CUPBOARD for spoons?

Holy crap, how many spoons have you got?

Where do you keep the knives?

This is ok, until you have to box up Quincy's Quarter Collection from the French Quarter
