Are we looking at the next Jackie O. or what?

I’ve finally come to my New Year’s Resolution. Maybe not so such a New Year’s Resolution as a life goal.

My goal as a designer is to some day be featured in a national magazine as a “Designer to Watch”.

Every year in January, my design magazines are touting the People to Watch in (insert year here), or Trendsetters for (insert year here). Every year, I’m insanely jealous of every single designer featured in those magazines. So really, the only way to cure that ridiculous streak of jealousy is to be one of them.

DearIE6 is a way for Twitter users to say goodbye to Internet Explorer 6. What a great way to usher out such a horrible browser.

Some of my favorite comments include:

• Are you still here? Get outta here. Go home! You heard me. Go on.
• I want those 436.73 hours of my life that I spent debugging your bloated behind back.
• By the way, we broke up. About two months ago. I forgot to tell you.
• It’s not me… it’s you.

WASHINGTON—In preparation for the traditional task of welcoming his successor to the Oval Office, outgoing president George W. Bush canceled all his appointments and press conferences Monday so he could spend the day outfitting his desk with a series of traps, gags, and hair-trigger switches. “Oh, man, is he gonna get it,” the president said after rearranging the letters on his computer keyboard and supergluing the direct-line-to-the-Pentagon telephone to its base. “If the 44th president is anything like me, he’ll grab this can of peanuts to snack on when he’s talking to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and when he does—bam! Right in his face!”

Taking his place in a long history of executive office shenanigans that began with President Martin Van Buren’s famous sneezing-in-Jackson’s-coffee prank of 1837, Bush carefully drafted his personal letter to the next president on White House stationery, filled the envelope with glitter, and then used rubber cement to secure the letter to the bottom of his desk’s right-hand drawer.

In what may turn out to be his greatest presidential prank, Bush also has spent the previous eight years damaging the American economy beyond repair and bogging the country down in an unwinnable war with a sovereign Middle Eastern nation.

I just heard about this today. What a copout. Apple, my love still abounds for you, but this is low…this is really, really low.

The following is pulled directly from an article posted today on ComputerWorld:

“Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will begin selling Apple Inc.’s iPhone later this month, employees at several stores in the discount retail chain said today.

Over the weekend, reports surfaced claiming that Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in U.S., would soon sell one or more models of the iPhone. On Saturday, for example, the San Jose Mercury News cited managers and employees at stores in Northern California who said that they were undergoing sales training and that the iPhone would be on store shelves either shortly before or right after Christmas.”
