Miscellany: Brother PT-1830 Labeler

There are few things in this world that are as eminently practical as a label maker. People have been labeling stuff for years, but it took modern science to make a handheld device that prints out labels for you. Enter the Brother PT-1830:



It's incredibly easy to use. You feed in a special tape that contains both a nice glossy side (where the labels are printed) an adhesive side. You type in what you want on the label. You hit the print button. Like magic, the label pops out the side. Press down on the handy integrated cutter and you're done. It works pretty well, so it gets the Shangrila Towers thumbs-up Seal of Approval.
