mrgan:
Here’s the thing with fusion jazz. Between 1968 and 1971, it was the greatest thing in music, a rare chimera that walked and talked. Then, things went bananas pretty quickly, and I’m talking rather bad bananas here....

FontBook Reloaded
Tonight at 6:00 pm CET, typographic legend Erik Spiekermann flipped a switch and FontShop released the FontBookApp for Apple’s iPad on the App Store. I was fortunate to be given a review code and so I have been able to kick the tires a little. These are my first impressions after a two days of moderate use.

So I downloaded the demo to Duke Nukem Forever and now my hard drive feels dirty. Whatta piece of crap (literally).
But say what you will, for once a demo really fulfilled it’s purpose: to help me make a buying decision.

What Your 16-Hour Workday Says About You!
jessiechar:
You’re a really hard worker
Your time is poorly managed
You don’t know what to do with your life
Your boss knows you’re gullible
At least 40% of your diet consists of pre-packaged food
You send out work emails at inappropriate hours

You don’t sleep enough for proper brain function

The trained Monkey
A trained monkey. That’s me.
Recently I got my second platinum trophy, this time for Mafia II, 2KCzech’s open-world Goodfellas-simulator. What did I have to do to get this coveted virtual proof of being awesome?
