I just picked up my Apple Pro optical mouse (for whatever reason) and saw that in the front curve on the bottom, right above the logo and just inside the rubber ring are the words: ‘Designed by Apple in California.’ This confuses the hell out of me. Was it put there in order to lead people away from the idea that someone ELSE designed it? And why is it specific to California? I’m just so confused… I wonder if someone knows any hardware designers over there and can ask them?

In an attempt to be at least somewhat democratic here at Alternate, I’ve decided to let you, the reader, decide which ‘look n feel’ (or ‘duckbucket’, as we like to call it) we’re actually going to go with for the redesign. Make your voice heard in the voting booth to the left.

This class I am taking is absolutely ridiculous. I figured I’d bolster my slouching GPA with a web design class called “Interactive Media Design.” They really should have called it “Rudimentary Web Design.” I’ve been sitting in this class for three weeks and we are only as far the most basic link tags. This is not a University level class, this is the kind of class that middle aged mothers take at the local community college. It’s almost funny because half of the class is teaching the professor(I use the term lightly) and at the same time it’s quite sad.

I’ve been chronologically reviewing all the past posts on erasing.org. Which is a good way to spend time if you have a heavy heart or a high speed internet connection and a lot of time to kill.

In order to build up some excitement around the new Alternate design, I worked up a little desktop for all you’s out there who might want one. It’s made for 1280×1024, so it’s big, but it’ll resize nicely, I believe.
