Apple came out with updated Mac Pros and iMacs today. I’m an iMac man myself, so that’s what I checked out. Looks nice! … Hardware isn’t my strong suit, but I know half a thing about website design. So let’s look at the websites for Apple’s primary desktop computer, and the same from Dell and HP.

Neven’s hilariously brutal comparison of the websites for the iMac and its competition from Dell and HP.  I especially like so how the minimalistic elegance (or lack thereof!) of each site is perfectly reflected by their respective URLs.

Bravo, sir!

What’s all this talk about iPhone 4 product recalls?!  Just set this as your iPhone 4 lock screen and your reception problems will be solved!

I don’t know how realistic it would be to use this on a daily basis, but that UI design is absolutely gorgeous.

Van Halen - “Eruption” (ca. 1982?)

This is pretty boss—even by EVH/Eruption standards. Tosses in some “Little Guitars” for good measure too.

… and the intro from “Mean Street” from “Fair Warning”, which I consider to be the best album they ever made.   It’s been almost thirty years (!!) since I first heard “Unchained” and I still can’t help but turn up the volume every time it comes into rotation.

This week’s haul from the local farmers’ market: peaches, sweet corn, blueberries, figs, carrots, heirloom tomatoes, and fresh eggs.

Local anchorman John Beard reports on a new coffee drink (1979)

Maybe my favorite-to-quote Arrested Development line. Always good in a Starbucks.

Arrested Development was one of the best TV shows ever.  The executives that decided to cancel it deserve a kick square in the nards.

My favorite-to-quote AD line comes from this exchange between George Michael and Uncle Oscar.  My bladder still hasn’t fully recovered from hearing that line the first time.

Using Apple Earphones with Remote

I admit, I feel a bit silly linking to this page.  But as someone who’s been using an iPhone 2G for the past 3 years, I wasn’t familiar with how these fancy new 3 button headphones work.
