Apple placed 3 new ads in it’s “Get a Mac” series:

  • Accident
  • Angel / Devil
  • Trust a mac

You can find them on their “Get a Mac” page
Just watch them, as always, they’re pretty good :d …

New look

I’ve been planning on this for a while now, but I never seemed to find the time for it … but today, I sat myself down and actually did it … I changed the look of my blog. If you saw my previous one, you’ll notice that it’s COMPLETELY different ;)

Vectorize reality

Who wouldn’t love to create their own personal reality … imagine it, mold it, shape it, …
Well, these vector artists did an amazing job at it using gradient meshes. Make no mistake about it, these aren’t photographs. This vectorized reality was created with nothing but Adobe Illustrator …

The artists:
Wayne Forrest
Halim Ghodbane
Highside
Ussa Methawittayakul
Yukio Miyamoto
Alexandre Simionescu

And just to give you a quick preview of Ussa’s work:

Hope you enjoy these as much as I do :)

WWDC Keynote speech available now

Steve Jobs’ keynote speech at Apple’s WWDC earlier today, is available now:

WWDC keynote speech and the macbook pro

Everyone who knows me, knows that I’m dying to buy one of those cute looking macbook pro’s. So, of course, since intel introduced their duo core 2, I’ve been looking forward to the WWDC to hear whether Apple would use the merom in their new notebooks.

Steve Jobs started his keynote speech today at about 7pm (my time ;) ) … and even though some great features of leopard were showcased, I was still a little disappointed that no word was uttered about the macbook pro.

What does this mean, does it mean that there will be no merom-based macbook pro in the near future or do they just don’t want to be responsible themselves for freezing the great sales this intel based notebook is bringing their way, since it’s not possible to introduce it right away ?

Initially, I had 3 reasons that held me back from buying one of these macbook pro’s. Two of them are already officially recognized by apple. These, being the noise and the battery life people were complaining of. This only leaves one issue left, the heat issue. There are a lot of rumors that this too would have improved by updates to keep the fan on longer and have it start sooner, but I haven’t found any official note on this one yet.

So, since I actually love moving around with my laptop and heat would really be an “issue” for me and this article AppleInsider features about the duo core 2 merom … I’ve decided to give it about another month before actually buying one of these … but buying I will ;)

The eyes are the window to the soul

I recently came across this well written article on the power of eye contact. It’s a very nice read and it kinda invites me to actually try it out …

So, if you’re bored, don’t know what to do, want to try something new, want to experiment, want to just act as crazy as you really are … read it and try it … join me in my newest quest ;)
