I took some time to mess around with Illustrator CS 3.

I love vector.

Frenzic is an addictive game.

… but this column ironically demonstrates how well Apple’s hype machine works. They’ve tied their products to popular culture in a way that no company before them has managed. I think Dvorak sums it up when he says “Hitler got less coverage when he invaded Poland.”

The column itself is just a railing diatribe, sadly - even Apple-haters should admit that much. I’ve got reservations about the iPhone myself - I don’t know that I’m going to get one because I don’t know that I personally need so many functions in a “phone” - but all this guy does is fill the page with spit and vitriol. It’s one thing to say a phone is useless, and another to say you’re going to slap people who like it.

“Transformers Animated”
The new series will premiere in 2008 on Cartoon Network.

I’m looking at the artwork but something about it doesn’t seem right…something is missing.

Perfect.

WHAT IS HAPPENING

Blah. Monday. I want to go back to bed.

It is of little surprise to many of you that I have no love for the O’Reilly Factor on FOX. I’m just not a fan.

Regardless of your political views, I don’t think it’s tough to admit that Bill O’Reilly has an incredibly abrasive personality. He’s constantly cutting mics and calling people pinheads. So I have to admit, I was amused and a little impressed to see this clip, in which Boulder High School student Jesse Lange calmly and intelligently delivers his rebuttal to Bill O’Reilly. The kid even comes with documents that he cites during the course of the “debate”. His conduct is more impressive than many adult guests on the show.

This link goes out to an article from an obviously liberal site - just ignore it and scroll down to the video, if you don’t care for the bias (although it’s worth skimming for some background facts).
