This sour-looking fellow is Ernst D. Bunker, a character I created for a short-lived series of rumor-site-parody columns at StepWise. Wanted to keep him around and this is the only copy of him I have. For the curious, he was sketched and shaded on paper with pencil, then scanned and the color layed in behind in Photoshop with a semi-transparent color wash.

I’d ask, improved for whom?

It’s been a while since I’ve jumped on a bandwagon late, but I thought this t-shirt was really funny, so I ordered one this past week. For background, see this Boing Boing post, and this one too.

I’ve got another SiteLight coming up, but I’ve determined not to release this one without an audio conversation. That means waiting a while longer, until my victim, er, guest and I can arrange a time to chat.

Why would Apple even want TiVo? | PVRblog. Certainly, it makes sense to my Mac-shaped 8-second-instant-replay-addled brain.
