Apple Tablet Computer

I love my MacBook and iPhone 3GS dearly. I use them for work and in my personal life constantly and would surely be lost without them. I mean, no GPS/maps, mobile web, email, etc. etc.?!?! Yikes…
So when I heard of a possible Apple Tablet Computer coming out (for real this time) I couldn’t wait to hear all the details. Sure, it’s still technically a rumor but Apple has announced a big press conference for this Wednesday so I guess we’ll all soon find out then if the rumors were true. In addition to the possible new tablet computer they are expected to talk about iLife ’10 and iPhone OS 4.
A friend of mine found some pics online of the rumored new tablet device and posted the pics on his blog. Check them out here.
Finally, everyone is guessing at what Apple will call the new device. Some of the ideas people are throwing around are iSlate, iSlab, Newton, and iPad. They’re all decent names but I really hope they don’t go with iPad. Anyone remember this old Mad TV spoof commercial? LOL…

I’ve been watching Conan O’Brien host one late night show or another for years now. He’s a great TV host and perfect for The Tonight Show and I would hate to see him leave simply because Jay’s new show sucked and NBC wants to cancel it. Too bad so sad Leno. I kind of wish Jay would just quietly retire or go do something else. Screwing with the already good late night lineup to accommodate a big cry baby like Jay is dumb.
Anyway, a friend posted this image on twitter earlier and I thought it was worthy of reposting.
You can buy the image above as a poster or printed on a t-shirt here if interested.
Anatomy of Japanese Folk Monsters
Date: January 13th, 2010 Category: Things Tags: Japan, Monsters [ View Comments ]
I ran across this blog post today about the Anatomy of Japanese Folk Monsters. The illustrations and stories were so crazy/weird I had to post my personal favorite here.
I give you The Kuro-kamikiri (black hair cutter). It’s a large, black-haired creature that sneaks up on women in the street at night and surreptitiously cuts off their hair. Anatomical features include a brain wired for stealth and trickery, razor-sharp claws, a long, coiling tongue covered in tiny hair-grabbing spines, and a sac for storing sleeping powder used to knock out victims. The digestive system includes an organ that produces a hair-dissolving fluid, as well as an organ with finger-like projections that thump the sides of the intestines to aid digestion.
