New cover insert

dastels @ 5:51 pm

Over the last couple days I got out my paints and had another go at a DS cover insert. I’m fairly happy with this one.

Latest DS cover insert

Here’s my latest DS cover insert. As the previous one, this is done with a silver Sharpie paint marker. I’m planning to break out my paints/brushes and redo it with some shading/highlighting.

iWoz

This was an excellent read.

It was a nice, not-quite-so-well-known tale of Apple’s early days. The writing/style seemed genuine and authentic. Granted, Woz did a LOT of the inovative, groundbreaking work in the personal computer industry, but he sounds almost braggy at times in the book. Sure.. he created the first breakout game, wrote the first videogame (breakout on the Apple 1), and almost singlehandedly designed what is arguably THE earthshattering invention of the 20th century (at least as far as computing is concerned)… the Apple ][.

Highly recomended, this is a great read.

My DS is online

We celebrate Yule (winter solstice) rather than Christmas, so we do our gift giving 4 days before most of you.

This has been a very Nintendo-heavy season. It’s hard to say what’s the coolest: the 1-up mushroom T, the DS homebrew hardware, or what….

But I think it’s between the Opera DS browser and the gold stylus and Magnetica.

In fact, I’m writing this post using my DS. How cool is that!
