Star Wars Artwork!!!

Here’s links to three collections of old Star Wars photos and illustrations I found via kottke.org. I absolutely LOVE storyboard sketches and concept artwork… throw Star Wars into the mix, and my morning is shot.  

1) a huge collection of classic Star Wars stills, set photos, etc.,

2) a smaller collection of photos from the set of the first film, and

3) some early storyboards from the first movie, tentatively titled “The Star Wars”.

I absolutely love my iPhone/iPod… but, I have to say the UI on the iriver’s 3.3-inch Spinn media player with AMOLED display looks pretty sweet. Check out the video here.

WWDC Hopes and Dreams…

While everyone else is all hyped up about the new iPhone all sorts of new features, or the latest Leopard (Snow) with no new features… I simply want one thing from Steve… a black Mighty Mouse to match my MacBook. Is that to much to ask from the company thats supposed to pay attention to detail? If you care enough to tell me that its “designed in California”… at least give me a wireless mouse to match! I’ll let the fact that my power cord shouldn’t be white either slide for now…

Eve bots… coming to an Apple store near you

Apple and Eve

“…don’t be surprised to see Eve bots working the counters this summer at an Apple Store near you.”

I cannot wait to go see this movie!!!

Interesting Idea…

Plan on waiting for it to load, that will have to be fixed before it launches!

With great power comes great responsibility.

Here’s a great blog highlighting embarrassing Photoshop or design work. Check it out.

IE 8 and Web Standards

Should be interesting to see how this plays out…

“We’ve decided that IE8 will, by default, interpret web content in the most standards compliant way it can. This decision is a change from what we’ve posted previously.”
