Noteworthy: Sock Monkeys, Google & Mice
The Onion comes through with a laugh. Kevin Cornell helps me dress better, and maybe decorate better too unless I can control myself. And Garrett, the other one, reminds me that Apple makes me cry a little bit inside.Mighty Mouse Sucks
Seriously. Apple. Change this. If anyone on earth could build the perfect mouse, I thought it would be you. But this isn’t it.
Garrett so eloquently echos my shared sentiment for Apple mice. Dave covered his feelings for the Mighty Mouse some time ago, but my mouse was too new for me to agree at the time. That changed. I couldn’t agree more.
The Google
The Onion comes through with a great piece. I love my parents to death, but I do remember when they first started using the interwebs, and this article nails it.
“All you have to do to turn the website on is put the little blinking line thing in the cyberspace window at the top of the screen, type ‘thegoogle.com,’ and press ‘return’—although it will also recognize http.wwwthegoogle.com, google.aol, and ‘THEGOOGLE’ typed into a Word document.”
Eh.
I’m thankful that I regularly forget Kevin Cornell has a store on his site. I’m also thankful that I’m usually not in a shopping mood when I do remember. That’s beside the point. Yesterday, I got a nice little t-shirt package in the mail from Kevin.
Now I’m afraid my purchase of his new shirt may have opened the flood gates. Kevin, I’m doing all I can not to give you more money. Seriously, he’s got some great prints, books, and other cool stuff. Did I mention his RSS feed is comic gold?
Feel like sharing? .
