When I am King
I saw this in the latest Wired, but just now got around to checking it out. Very, very cool.
And an Airport is just a place for airplanes
Michael Dell seems to think that Dell is the first computer company to ship notebook computers with wireless technology.
“…right now our notebook team is continuing to drive very, very hard on size, weight, wireless integration — we were the first to integrate wireless into notebooks, with integrated antennas.”
Monkey Boy
If you haven’t seen Steve Ballmer make an ass of himself in this movie or this even worse movie, you absolutely must check them out now. Once you have gasped at the spectacle, you must return for
more.
I am now *WAY MORE* scared of Microsoft than ever. Ballmer has a way more evil look in his eyes than Billy ever did.
Pulling the plug
We knew that this would happen. Not that that makes us particularly intelligent or anything. A monkey could have told you that damn thing wouldn’t sell for shit.
Did you know ducks eat for free at Subway?
The original plan was to go shoot some photos with a friend of mine, but we ended up at a comedy club instead. Don’t ask me how or why, it just happened that way.
And, as it turns out, I’ve only laughed so much once before, in NYC. You see, Mitch Hedberg was the headliner. Totally different style from the slick, Seinfeld-esque comedy you’re going to get from most other comics.. You, know.. ‘What’s the deal with…’ He doesn’t do that. What he actually does is this: Keeps his eys closed most of the time, looks down most of the time with his hair in his face, and spews about a million one-liners out at you over the course of an hour: ‘ I just bought a house, and they told me it had 2 bedrooms in it. I think it is up to me to decide how many bedrooms it has. This is a bedroom, it just has an oven in it.’ It might not sound funny now, but let me tell you. His signature monotone and delivery system will fucking kill you. Unless you’re uhm.. of rather less intellectual capacity, as one of our companions seemed to be, who just didn’t seem to get it. At all. And when it was over, he needed to (loudly) vocalize these feelings, which none of us agreed with. So then we played Quake. Which makes everything all better.
Neue Light Extended Got Robbed
It’s too bad that only designers will find this funny:
Helvetica Bold Oblique Sweeps Fontys
“A bold as Best Font?” said Christopher Rankley, editor of Typography Today. “They may as well have handed the award to Chicago, for God’s sake. Or, better yet, Chicago Shadow Underline.”</span
Or Tekton or Comic Sans, even. And what about Helvetica Neue Light Extended’s fabulous work in the GAP brand campaign, among countless others? Why must this workhorse weight always be ignored?
Hell yeah
This is the funniest thing you will ever see. How old is that Macintosh 8500? And where did the Apple logo go? It must have been hard to port Windows XP, a 64-bit OS to a 603e processor….
Also good for a laugh, here’s the SWF said screenshot came from, with the catchy tagline at the end.. The Freedom To Work The Way You Want. Funny. I’ve been doing that for 11 years on my Mac. [Via Camworld.]
Oh, gosh..
Online sources have reported that Apple has laid off anywhere from 25 to 50 employees.
That’s terrible! As many as 50?! Wait… didn’t Gateway just announce like 3,000 job cuts? And Compaq, like 3 billion?
