I've been blogged.

The Blogging Blogger Blog finally got me. The Blogging Bloger Blog is a pretentious, pointless and parasitic piece of performance art, which attempts to illustrate the aesthetic experience of reading blogs. Head over there to see a bigger version of....me and see others that have targeted.

Holy Crapple.

Apple just introduced a new 24" iMac.

Don't buy anything from Apple until after September 12.

Sending out an invitation that reads "It's Showtime" is reason enough.

"There will be an Apple special event one week from today, on September 12, at 10:00AM Pacific (1:00PM Eastern, 5:00PM GMT) at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in downtown San Francisco -- coinciding exactly with the opening day of the Apple Expo in Paris. Now for those of you keeping score at home, we may or may not see an updated nano, a new version of iTunes, a new Airport Express-type video streaming device, a new iMac, and/or possibly iTunes movie downloads."

Internet Fun.

Over at says-it.com you can create your own custom cassette tape images and have it printed as a magnet or a sticker. Nice.

Steve Jobs on Design and Creativity.

"Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service."

"To design something really well, you have to get it. You have to really grok what it's all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it up, not just quickly swallow it. Most people don't take the time to do that.

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things."

More Stevie goodness here.

Blogger my old friend

I've been crazy-busy with lots of work and haven't had time to blog or use the internet for anything other than project research. I'll have a few entries today and will try to keep it up.
