JEFF BRIDGES!

So last week some friends and I went up to the Cold Springs Tavern to see Jeff Bridges performing. It was pretty cool. Although, I'm not a big fan of country music. :P

¡EP!

I know where I'd rather be

Fine Art My... Foot

So, today, I was walking in a park near my house when I came across these "art" sculptures.

I think they're supposed to be dancing. Whatever the case, they are not very artistically done, and are kinda creepy. And as for this guy, well....

All I can say is:

Ouch.

Poor kid...

I saw this sign the other day next to a school.

So two thoughts about this sign:

Poor kid.

And he's not slow. Look, he's running... :P

How to eat your HD when installing Windows...

So, this week I learned an important lesson. How NOT to munch your HD when installing Windows with Boot Camp. Do not use an original XP Pro CD. It WILL eat your Mac partition. I realized this after I did this... twice... You really have to use a Service Pack 2 or 3 disk. Just thought I'd share my sad story with you guys... :P All of this started when my Windows 7 Upgrade decided that it wasn't valid, and you CAN'T JUST TYPE IN THE STUPID XP KEYCODE!! You have to wipe, and install XP, activate, then upgrade. That's when all this started... Oh boy...
Thank goodness for Time Machine...

Planking is Stupid

Well, when I first thought of planking, it sounded so cool. But I looked it up the other day, and it turns out... it's pretty lame...

This is my idea of planking, before I looked it up:

This is real planking.

So anyways, you decide which is more epic... I think we should start a new fad, that's actually awesome. Let's call it... "Cool Planking." :)

I Am So Nerdy

So, at work the other day, we got another dead iMac for parts from a client, the 24" one there on the right. So now we have ALL THREE sizes of white circa 2006 iMacs! 17", 20", and 24". I was so excited, I put them all next to each-other and took a picture. And yeah, I am nerdy :)

Apple Ripped Me Off

Well, if you remember, the day before the white iPhone came out, the title of my post was "The white iPhone 4. Finally." The next day, Apple posted this on their site as their white iPhone introduction poster:

Need I say more...?

The white iPhone 4. Finally.

We have only been waiting... A year for this! It is super exciting. And it's here tomorrow!! I wish I didn't already have a black ATT iPhone; My perfect iPhone is a white Verizon iPhone. Oh well, such is life.

MOOOOO!

MOO! MOO.com is so amazing! They have some way cool print products. They print business cards; But they also do what they call MiniCards, and STICKER BOOKS! (Along with other stuff like postcards, greeting cards, etc.)
I just ordered A STICKER BOOK for my emerging media group!! 90 stickers for 13 bucks! What a deal! You can have multiple designs, so these are the stickers I'm getting:

I'm super excited and will be sticking these EVERYWHERE!

iPad 2

iPad 2 is here. I got to see one last Saturday at the Apple store here in Santa Barbara.

The verdict: It's lighter, thinner, faster, has two cameras, and it comes in white. It has an amazing magnetic cover, that really works just like it does in the videos - So cool! It really does feel zippy, with it's dual-core A5 processor; The iPads in the store have every app launched, and still ran with no signs of slowness, or lagging. The cameras are decent, however the camera on the back felt too closed in, like it needed a little wider angle lens. Holding it just feels amazing; The weight and size are perfect, and holding it just seems right. This is everything the first iPad should have been. I am definitely getting one.
And did I mention it comes in white?

Surgery... A La Mac

The other day at work, I had an aluminum iMac with a bad DVD drive  - Probably because the client tried sticking a miniCD into the drive... Anyways, before I put it all back together, I wanted to test the new DVD drive. This is what that looks like:

And for those interested, here's a breakdown of the components visible:

Anyways, I thought it was cool. :)

Design Fail

Well, so far this blog has been a blog fail... I've been trying to blog about technology, but lately, I've been getting back into design; So today I'm blogging about this hideous design that they've come up with for the 2012 Olympics which are being held in London. It's so awful; I don't know where to begin:

First off, the colors are horrible. The pink forms are supposed to say "2012" but end up looking like "zok" or zoin or, as some Iranians think, "zion". The "london" font is awful, and the whole thing feels so unbalanced with both the london and the rings at the top. 

Absolute design fail.
