It's not just the keyboard. It's all the hardware. It's the keyboard, the various buttons, the speaker grilles, the indicator light, the camera... everything on the Macbook Pro is gorgeous, and it works all sleeklike.

You don't buy a Mac because of its sex appeal. You buy it because it's a damn good computer. A part of that just happens to be that it's sexy. There are such things as sexy suits and sexy dresses. They're inanimate, but there are ugly dress

Too late for what? This is the Internet. You're allowed to make an ass out of yourself sometimes. I remember when I came on here and criticized Delicious and got in an argument with joshu because I didn't know who he was. If anything, I'd l

Is that good? Bad? Better than expected?

Gonna have to disagree with you there. I'm a fan both of Yoko's art and her music. Lennon wouldn't have reached the peaks he did both as a later Beatle and as a soloist were it not for her avante-garde influence. Plastic Ono Band owes so mu

Ah, okay. That context makes it seem more nudge-and-wink. Thanks for following up!

Well, it's early in the morning and I might come to my senses later, but what the hell, the Internet's got a lot of free space: http://shitmydadsaysexplained.tumblr.com/ I promise you within four entries you'll never be able to read SMDS

That's kind of how I see it. I can sympathize with that, though. It's frustrating to see lots of people like something you can't stand. I have the same reaction to Jason Mraz, American Beauty, and Firefly.

Unless you've got a unique selling proposition, that is. Murdoch doesn't. A magazine like Cook's or the Economist can charge for access, because they offer writing that's leagues beyond the norm. The Wall Street Journal, on the other hand,

Merlin bugs me when he gets cynical about stuff. He spends most of his career looking at how things are deeper and more meaningful than they seem, and then on occasion he dismisses something with a line or two that's got more to it. He does

You're allowed to state your opinion. You're not allowed to be a smug turd about it. Making the absurd implication that by reading this guy's 72 tweets we're wasting our life and our brain comes across as massively egodouche. Even if this g

I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to become as serious a thread as it was. I meant my response lightheartedly, as in: "Hey, you could look at it like that and you'll find it." It's got a very 1950s mindset, and I was saying that if you ge

The solution is eliminating the dress code entirely and setting up kids to believe there is a "right" and a "wrong" way to dress. Once crossdressing seems natural and acceptable, kid'll stop being immature about it. The more you try to say

The meter is beautiful, the phrasing is eloquent, and the concept is hilarious. You don't know shit, and you're not shit. Don't take that the wrong way, that was meant to cheer you up. Sometimes life leaves a hundred dollar bill on your

Am I not allowed to state a dissenting opinion online anymore? Shitmydadsays is a brilliant Internet source, and Rules For My Unborn Son strikes me as bigoted and outdated.

Shitmydadsays has become one of the best parts of my weekly routine. It's not just how funny they are: There's a poetry to how he speaks that's as good as any one-liners I've ever read.

If you need to break the addiction, read a few pages looking for misogyny, bigotry, and casual discrimination against various sorts of people. Your habit'll break by sun-up.

Definitely something that struck me when learning about Ogilvy, Burnett, Bernbach, etc., when learning about great advertising legends, was how very few of them looked like a stereotypical advertiser. Leo Burnett in particular worked with m

Creative people have only one thing in common: They create to their own standards. The result is that the best creatives look uniquely themselves. But there's more than one creative stereotype. What about the hippies artiste? Or the goofy g

Who downvoted you? You're right. That's not to say lies are inherently good, but you got flattened down without anybody debating you, and it's an idea worth a conversation.

See, this is why it's a playful title and not a literal one, which is why so many literal-minded people don't like it. If you really take everything you read at face value, you're missing out on a lot of fun frivolities to be had. Life sh
