See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, AWESOME. Thanks! Bookmarking now.

I really really really really REALLY hate iMovie. I'd almost forgotten how much.

This is just amazingly irritating. It seems like such a simple little thing, and the kind of thing that they ought to have anticipated would come up all the damn time.

You can do it from Quicktime Pro.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Apple's latest product - the iBrick? [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Apple's latest product - the iBrick?

OTOH, I've seen the same cryptic two-sentence comment all over the place today, most often interpreted as benignly as "we won't promise not to fuck with your ringtones again". I suspect the truth is somewhere in between, or maybe more likely, that The Steve was digging on sounding all oracular and shit.

Yeah, I wasn't quite sure how they made the logical leap to the iBrick out of that. I can't imagine they'd be willing to piss people off that much.

I think that some people will unintentionally brick their phones trying to unlock them or applying other hacks and then blame Apple. It's pretty easy to brick a RAZR trying some of the hacks on them.

Compassionately intolerant

Hey. I mentioned a while ago that I am rebranding my coaching practice and that I'd gotten some help from a designer with a new logo, card and web page designs.

For a variety of reasons, it is driving me up an ever-loving tree to have no control over the change process. Tragically, my copies of Pagemaker, Illustrator and Freehand are way, way out of date.

I've discovered that I can upgrade to InDesign from my Pagemaker 6.5.

Does it make sense to do so when my greatest need is to create and update promo materials and webpages?

I don't have photoshop and, quite frankly, can't afford to spend much on new tools.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Is this the new design you showed me? Nice. No help on the tools...but I liked the redesign.
