Greener Apple
Now this is old news already, but in a recent research of laptop manufacturers, Apple was found to be (one of) the least environmental out there. Can’t remember the figures, but if I recall correctly (in my warped Apple-fied mind) the differences were not so huge. Anyhoo, the smelly hippies of Greenpeace are at it [...]
Usable semantics
Continuing on my topic of symmetry, lately I’ve been forced to work working with art directors and graphic designers, who are fresh from the school bench and and when we get to the process of manufacturing things – we usually have a difference of opinion. See, my job as a techy project manager is to [...]
Star Wars Trek
People who know me know that I really like Star Wars. Star Wars is huge, it’s everywhere: There are games, books, stationaries, backpacks, movies and what-have-yous.

Whoppee! Another milestone for Mind Itch for having the first place (actually the first three places) in Google searches for Mind Itch. Please link your blogs to Mind Itch so we’ll get higher in Technorati as well . Been extra busy with a few ad campaigns lately and had long days. Tomorrow I have a [...]
Pain
It’s that time of year – much like the negative image of a dog I tend to grow my hair in the summer and shed it in the winter. There is method behind this madness and it comes down to one simple fact, and one that underpins so much of male dress sense (at least where [...]
RIP Steve Irwin
My RSS reader delivered me the news of a sad, sad story when a great environmentalist and speaker for all things natural Steve Irwin aka Crocodile Hunter passed away in a freak accident involving a stingray. Being a fan of Animal Planet, I’ve followed Steve’s career and success with joy, since he seemed to be [...]
