If the new Apple goodie is called the iSlate, you know the commercial has to be Steve Jobs coming down off a mountain carrying two of them…
Here's a bit of concept art (or Photochopping) of Steve Jobs delivering the iSlate unto the Apple faithful.

Avatar: good movie, beautiful visuals but a very predictable storyline. Nothing really surprised me. Parts seemed to "Disney-ish"...
I will probably be seeing Avatar again. I was a little disappointed that is was playing on one of the smaller screens at the theater...
There is a theater near here playing it in 3D. Just not so jazzed sitting there for almost 3hrs with 3D glasses on.

Musical doodle
Guitar Doodle
A guitar based musical doodle (nugget, segment, pattern, etc.) that's been stuck in my head.
Give it a chance it's only 2 minutes long or so. :-)

Nik Software plugins crash FIX!
Going on what I've seen around the internet that duplicate Arial fonts could cause the Nik plugins to crash I opened up 'font book' and took care of the dups. That still didn't fix the problem. Then going on the assumption that the Arial font was still the issue I started looking at the versions of Arial on my computer. All Arial files seemed kind of old. Using an application called Pacifist I looked at the Snow Leopard installer package. Doing a search for Arial I found that the version numbers were different. Using Pacifist I copied the newer versions of the Arial font to my computer and removed the older versions. There are a few places were fonts live on your Mac. Make sure you find out where your current version of Arial lives, remove and replace with the one from the SL installer.My Nik plugins now work.
(UPDATE: An alternative fix: Your Snow Leopard install may of installed the updated Arial font with out removing the old outdated Arial font. When you use Font Book check within the Arial listing to see if some styles (regular, bold, italic, etc.) are duplicate. Select one of the dups and press "command i" for info. You want to keep the current fonts and styles (version 5.00) and remove the old.)

Mac OS X "Crush?
Is it time for Apple to move away from the big cat motif for naming it's OS? Next set of releases should be named after American Gladiators. Think about it. Mac OS X "The Beast" or "Crush" or "Hurricane" or "Steel or "Venom" etc...
I wonder how Microsoft's ads would combat that?
I want an OS that sounds like it could win a steel cage match!
