Three posters designed by Rich Sil­ver­stein. “Here is my think­ing,” Sil­ver­stein said, “What if we could TiVo the last six-plus years and play them back — with­out com­ment — for the Amer­i­can peo­ple, and let them con­nect the dots? It’s not a pretty pic­ture.” Click on the images to see them full size. Print them out and put them everywhere.

Although I think this is plenty to think about It was easy to come up with more.

national debt
war prof­i­teer­ing
mush­room cloud
ille­gal wire­taps
abuse of power
pre­ven­tive war
patriot act
mer­ce­nar­ies
intel­li­gent design
dead or alive
no child left behind
hard work

I’m get­ting weary.
I had enough a long time ago.

oh, one more…

apple OSX leopard [review]

talking, technology

Updated my mac­book pro to leop­ard this past week. I had heard that the update 10.5.1 was on its way. This was reas­sur­ance con­sid­er­ing some finder copy­ing dataloss.

I backed up the whole dang drive. Just being safe. Ready to go.

I have been look­ing for­ward to this update; not for all the eye candy or new fea­tures. I have been look­ing for­ward to per­for­mance enhance­ments and I was not dis­ap­pointed. I feel like I have a new machine. Spot­light rocks. I actu­ally don’t need Launch­bar or quick­sil­ver to launch appli­ca­tions or find files. Very fast. Very sweet.

I keep my dock on the side so I don’t have to endure the “glassy dock shelf” or spring­ing stacks. I do dig the icon view when expand­ing a folder. I got rid of the desk­top as quick as I could. I’m not inter­ested in the time machine look.

I dig the side­bar and how the groups have been named devices, shared, places, and search for. expand­ing and col­laps­ing the groups is handy.

Shared devices and net­work items just show up in the bar. Excellent.

That’s it so far. More to come.

apple wireless keyboard oh my! [review]

gadgets, objects of desire, technology

Just last week I took a trip to the local Apple store. I had made up my mind to get a new wire­less key­board. A friend and col­league had pur­chased the full size key­board and I tried it out. But it was time to go wire­less and to dump the num­ber pad which I almost never use. I wanted to get back some desk space.

Boy did I get back some deskspace.

The key­board is the same size as the one in my mac­book pro but response of the keys is much bet­ter than expected. Being wire­less is new found free­dom. It’s a great design detail how the bat­ter­ies load into the top of the key­board. even with the bat­ter­ies the key­board is incred­i­bly light.

I do miss the apple key.

I also bought the wire­less mighty mouse. I’ve loved that mouse from the beginning.
