It's written by some guy Lee Camp. It's genius.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With McCain likely to face Obama in the general election, it appears his staff has realized they have an uphill marketing battle ahead of them. Obama has some of the best marketing money can buy. He has a brilliant logo, multiple slogans, a pretty face, and he's even laid claim to the words "change" and "hope." The following memo by a high level McCain staffer was accidentally leaked to the press. It shows the McCain campaign's struggle to find the perfect slogan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/SCJa1v-MtzI/AAAAAAAAAd8/WGh2TVDMOMY/s1600-h/original.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/SCJa1v-MtzI/AAAAAAAAAd8/WGh2TVDMOMY/s400/original.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197816799395886898" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490405521929122443-5745741324535524220?l=nycwill.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/feeds/5745741324535524220/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490405521929122443&amp;postID=5745741324535524220' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/5745741324535524220'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/5745741324535524220'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/2008/05/secret-mccain-campaign-slogan-memo.html' title='Secret McCain Campaign Slogan Memo Leaked'/><author><name>will</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02492603661425478226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/SCJa1v-MtzI/AAAAAAAAAd8/WGh2TVDMOMY/s72-c/original.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490405521929122443.post-6525609139325502487</id><published>2008-02-15T07:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-15T08:07:21.522-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Eva Solo Water Flask</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/R7W3WsrbKwI/AAAAAAAAAck/68h_rlfQflA/s1600-h/drikkeflaske-blank.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/R7W3WsrbKwI/AAAAAAAAAck/68h_rlfQflA/s400/drikkeflaske-blank.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167237748055812866" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/R7W3W8rbKxI/AAAAAAAAAcs/Q6OOqFArOSI/s1600-h/drikkeflaske_roed.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/R7W3W8rbKxI/AAAAAAAAAcs/Q6OOqFArOSI/s400/drikkeflaske_roed.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167237752350780178" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice...

GPS opens up so many possibilities in terms of software and subsequently usability. Just imagine walking down the street and keeping updated on the whereabouts of your loved ones. If you see them going near a grocery store you can text them and ask them to pick up some milk. You can set alerts to let you know when you're in the area of one of your contacts. You can be alerted when your passing by a store that's selling something that you found on the internet the day earlier. You can place an order to Starbucks and have the order beamed over as you're approaching the store so when you're there it'd be ready for you to just pick up. I feel there's so much to gain in incorporating GPS technology into an IPhone that it'd be a missed opportunity by Apple if they weren't to cram it in this time around or sometime soon. Hopefully we'll see this and 3G introduced at Macworld 2008 in a few days. If that's the case with maybe a hard drive bump or a SD slot and longer battery life then i'll definitely be rocking one of these in a few weeks.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490405521929122443-130606368835888796?l=nycwill.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/feeds/130606368835888796/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490405521929122443&amp;postID=130606368835888796' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/130606368835888796'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/130606368835888796'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/2008/01/macworld-2008.html' title='Macworld 2008'/><author><name>will</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02492603661425478226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490405521929122443.post-324797905015666395</id><published>2007-12-04T14:33:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2007-12-04T14:33:56.368-08:00</updated><title type='text'>２足立ち</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height='350' width='425'&gt;&lt;param value='http://youtube.com/v/57hSqLLfOv4' name='movie'/&gt;&lt;embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/57hSqLLfOv4'/&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490405521929122443-324797905015666395?l=nycwill.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/feeds/324797905015666395/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490405521929122443&amp;postID=324797905015666395' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/324797905015666395'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/324797905015666395'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/2007/12/blog-post.html' title='２足立ち'/><author><name>will</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02492603661425478226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490405521929122443.post-2117501240913611205</id><published>2007-10-18T07:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-18T08:54:01.941-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Chris Jordan</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RxeBOdw1zKI/AAAAAAAAAbg/ffaA-p5nnQQ/s1600-h/1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

We got it in and watched it. I loved it. I wasn't really keen on watching it at first because it was Lauren's pick. We have very different tastes in movies. I never even heard of it in theatres and when I saw reviews of it on Rotten Tomatoes, which it received 53% on, I was convinced I wouldn't like it. My lowered expectations may have been the reason why I enjoyed it so much, but I thought everything was done pretty well. I bet the book was a hundred times better knowing that 1. the book is always better and 2. the movie was about scent which is probably better described then shown. Anyway, it was a surreal, twisted, funny, scary, suspenseful period piece that I liked very much. Probably my favorite movie of the year so far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RsG94mM6hEI/AAAAAAAAAY4/OnRMZusG02g/s1600-h/11_1280x1024.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RsG94mM6hEI/AAAAAAAAAY4/OnRMZusG02g/s400/11_1280x1024.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098565033185150018" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also saw Stardust over the weekend which I enjoyed and Lauren thought was okay. Kind of a darker Princess Bride. I love epic movies of any sort.

I'm glad I did but I was a pretty bad student. I had the worst time paying attention in classes. I spent most of my time doodling in the margins, on the desk, in the books, etc. Even when I tried to pay attention to what was going on, my mind would drift and I would start doodling. Anyway, my doodles have evolved and nowadays, I get paid to doodle out ideas for things. Of course the quality of doodles I do to get paid is a little better than what I like to do casually but I still like pumping these little guys out just for fun.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490405521929122443-2219761772485731336?l=nycwill.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/feeds/2219761772485731336/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490405521929122443&amp;postID=2219761772485731336' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/2219761772485731336'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/2219761772485731336'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/2007/08/doodles.html' title='Doodles'/><author><name>will</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02492603661425478226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RrDy59L65VI/AAAAAAAAAYo/c_cf4kYq5QI/s72-c/random+robots.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490405521929122443.post-8596257579345415749</id><published>2007-07-31T09:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-31T10:40:17.958-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Road to Gitmo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/Rq9pStL65UI/AAAAAAAAAYg/hXhMsvGrIJo/s1600-h/Picture+5.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/Rq9pStL65UI/AAAAAAAAAYg/hXhMsvGrIJo/s400/Picture+5.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093405473667474754" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We saw this documentary last night. Really compelling. Although I consider myself anti-war/anti bush administration/anti gitmo etc... as I was watching this movie I couldn't help but sympathize with both sides.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's obvious this movie was made to sympathize with side of the Pakistani guys taken into custody and basically tortured. The movie portrayed them in a way that its very easy to see yourself in the same situation. At least for me coming from an ethnic background. They were early twenty something Pakistani-Brits that went to Pakistan for one of the dude's wedding. In their trip they ended up in Afghanistan and unbeknownst to them taken to a Taliban encampment in the midst of the American invasion after 9/11. They were enventually picked up by the US and taken to Gitmo. No the guys definitly could've used better judgement in their vacationing decisions but their treatment on their way to and at Gitmo was a disgusting real representation of what's going on over there and probably elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand coming from an American standpoint you find 3 guys from England at a Taliban camp and of course you're going to think... Jackpot... These guys are the real deal terrorists that need to be questioned. It's hard to believe the truth that these guys just ended up there on accident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eitherway this story is epic and very intriguing. I definitely recommend it to anyone that thinks every middle easterner is a terrorist. It humanizes the face of the supposed terrorists. It's one thing to read or hear about it through a 3 paragraph newspaper article... but its another thing to be taken through a detailed account of what they had to endure at the hands of our government.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490405521929122443-8596257579345415749?l=nycwill.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/feeds/8596257579345415749/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490405521929122443&amp;postID=8596257579345415749' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/8596257579345415749'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/8596257579345415749'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/2007/07/road-to-gitmo.html' title='Road to Gitmo'/><author><name>will</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02492603661425478226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/Rq9pStL65UI/AAAAAAAAAYg/hXhMsvGrIJo/s72-c/Picture+5.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490405521929122443.post-954568245370627493</id><published>2007-07-12T07:57:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-12T08:09:21.134-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Dance to the mUSAq!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RpZBg0j4InI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/2jl1-oBeh6M/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RpZBg0j4InI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/2jl1-oBeh6M/s400/Picture+1.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5086324861282296434" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay so normally I'm a rock and roll type of guy. But there was a time when I listened to a lot of electronic music... But then acts like Paul Oakenfold came and killed it for me. I hated that cheesy progressive stuff that you would hear at super chachi clubs. Anyway, this band's pretty cool... Justice. They got a little Daft Punk vibe to them.

But this guy takes the cake. I'm an instant fan of his.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rock ’n’ roll hall of lame&lt;br /&gt;Nirvana, the Beatles, and every other band you worship is overrated&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;COMMENTARY&lt;br /&gt;By Dave White&lt;br /&gt;MSNBC contributor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once upon a time, I worked in one of those “High Fidelity”-ish record shops. In fact, I worked in three of them over the course of about 12 years. If you ever bought something from me or my co-workers, you can be assured that we said horrible things about your choices the second you walked out the door. (Except for that one guy named Sean who had impeccable taste in everything and who later became a heroin addict and then stopped buying records, overdosed and disappeared into a Christian rehab. We thought he was awesome.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But when you work in a place like that for long enough, you realize something very important about popular music. And here it is: everything sucks. Even your favorite band. But especially everyone else’s favorite band. Especially everyone else’s favorite band that people can’t stop contorting themselves into pretzelly shapes over, inventing new ways to kiss their collective, pampered buttocks. Especially-especially bands that end up wildly successful and revered and eventually tenuously re-united for a greatest-hits comeback tour or a museum induction ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s unavoidable. If your music is not instantly dismissible, if it endures, it’s going to be the subject of someone’s over-adoring gaze.  Maybe way too many someones. Best-of lists and Halls of Fame and hagiographic films about “the soul of the music.” You’re lucky if you can avoid it. But most popular bands don’t. And that praise-bloat kills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m specifically thinking of The Police, whose main contribution to culture has been the inclusion of their stalker-themed love song “Every Breath You Take” in very confused wedding receptions. Any band whose influence dots can be connected two decades later to Blake Lewis has a lot to answer for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who else?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;U2&lt;br /&gt;Back in 1980, a friend bought me a copy of “Boy” without either of us having heard the band before. She said, “I know you like stupid new wave crap like this. Here. Happy Birthday.” When I played the record, she said, “They sound like cats mating.” But I liked that. I liked it a lot. And then, about 20 minutes later, came the sunglasses. And the cowboy hats. And arenas and sainthood. Not that I begrudge Bono one second of humanitarian rock-star penance. You have to do some kind of community service to get that record industry b.o. off of you. In fact, I wish he’d quit music and focus on that entirely. But those damn sunglasses still scorch my soul. Also “Vertigo.” And Creed? All this band’s fault.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Metallica&lt;br /&gt;Around the time of the emergence of “speed-metal,” these guys were one of many bands doing exactly the same thing. But they had the breaks and the right publicity team and the right Misfits T-shirts and the grandiose visions of MC Hammer-ish gold-plated bathtub fixtures to keep them reaching for the stars. That their own we’re-in-couples-counseling documentary helped inspire a parody cartoon show (“Metalocalypse,” the best thing on TV) should help keep them off this list. But it doesn’t. Listen to Abruptum instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nirvana&lt;br /&gt;[“Smells Like Teen Spirit”] + [tragedy] x [Courtney Love] ÷ [lawsuits] = Kurt Cobain floating on a cloud in a Doc Martens advertisement. I enjoy fantasizing that if he were still alive he’d be like Joaquin Phoenix at the end of “Walk the Line,” holding a bucket of chicken and enjoying his backyard, oblivious to the fact that he helped pave the way for bands like Puddle of Mudd. It beats thinking he’d end up in and out of rehabs, brushing shoulders with Britney Spears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Doors&lt;br /&gt;The most opportunistic of the late ’60s counter-culturalists, they created a toxic and inexplicably popular body of work revered by date-rapist frat boys for decades to come. And it’s the company you keep that ultimately defines you. Unlike just about every other band on this list, I’ve actively disliked them since I can remember, and if I could blame them for the death of Cass Elliott I would. Also? Directly responsible for Third Eye Blind, Matchbox 20 and all other neo-swaggering-front-man pop-chart wankers. Exempt from this discussion: the kookoo-bananas Oliver Stone movie about them. That was amazing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Clash&lt;br /&gt;Joe Strummer, may he rest in peace, is not responsible for the way this band has been lionized. In fact, I’d say that out of all of the bands here, it’s not so much their music that irritates as it is the chorus of hosannas that, 30 years later, still follows them around like a car alarm that won’t shut off. I happen to live near a musician in a bar band. They practice in their apartment. I’ve heard “Should I Stay or Should I Go” a lot. Enough times so that I think I should get some royalties out of the deal. So actually I take that back. It is the music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bob Dylan&lt;br /&gt;A moral and aesthetic struggle. Does he get a pass like Prince or The Rolling Stones for creating brilliant music in the beginning and then sliding into sameness and reliance on back-catalog sales? And here’s why I think he’s doesn’t: because no one runs around telling you how atom-smashing the new Prince or Rolling Stones records are. But Dylan, every single time he burps onto a compact disc, the fogeys are like, “This is the work of an elder statesman! He’s the ‘Lion In Winter’!” And if it weren’t for him I would have never had to listen to Ani DeFranco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Beatles&lt;br /&gt;Their musical output was great. You can’t really dispute that. I mean, you could but you’d be kind of wrong (John Waters and his labeling them as “honkies who ruined rock and roll” notwithstanding). And they did inspire an only-makes-sense-to-space-aliens movie version of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” that featured Carol Channing dancing to a disco version of the title song. So that’s cool. In fact, if Yoko Ono didn’t exist, you’d have had to invent her to give you something to irrationally dislike them for. But did they appear on a tortilla or a grilled cheese sandwich? Have wars been fought in their name? No, these things haven’t happened. So stop making movies where Sean Penn plays a guy with Down’s Syndrome who only knows about real-life and how to parent Dakota Fanning because of their songs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sonic Youth&lt;br /&gt;My personal all-time favorite band. And just about every rock critic thinks they’re incredible. So there’s got to be something wrong with them. I just can’t see it because I’m blinded by love. A guy I know who hates them says they sound like the musical huffing of paint thinner. He’s probably right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dave White is the author of “Exile in Guyville.” Don’t bother arguing music with him at www.imdavewhite.com.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490405521929122443-6824067354569979296?l=nycwill.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/feeds/6824067354569979296/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490405521929122443&amp;postID=6824067354569979296' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/6824067354569979296'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/6824067354569979296'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/2007/07/rock-n-roll-hall-of-lame.html' title='The Rock &apos;n&apos; Roll Hall of Lame'/><author><name>will</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02492603661425478226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490405521929122443.post-1516815465330223878</id><published>2007-06-29T08:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-29T09:08:07.387-07:00</updated><title type='text'>It's just metal and plastic!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RoUrHs1hSsI/AAAAAAAAAYI/78lcVnU99Gs/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RoUrHs1hSsI/AAAAAAAAAYI/78lcVnU99Gs/s400/Picture+1.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5081515165852191426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a picture of the line outside the Apple Store here in Manhattan that I got from Gizmodo. Damn... Maybe with a twinge of jealousy I say this but "it's not worth it!" Not because the IPhone isn't worth it but because the first gen isn't worth it. Apple historically has issues with first gen products. Most notably the first gen IPods and the first gen Macbook Pros. They always go through upgrades, price drops, and design changes within the first 6 months to a year after release. So those people waiting in line are essentially testers of a product almost guaranteed to be outdated within the year. What I see happening is a hard drive bump to at least 10 gigs, a slimmer design, and some unforseen issues tweaked out... as well as probably better battery life and price drop for 8 gig models. I could see them also adding other hardware features... maybe even GPS. I'm not going to lie... I'm going to be really jealous seeing people with their IPhones but within a couple years I should be rockin a more finished model of the already legendary item.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490405521929122443-1516815465330223878?l=nycwill.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/feeds/1516815465330223878/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490405521929122443&amp;postID=1516815465330223878' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/1516815465330223878'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/1516815465330223878'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/2007/06/its-just-metal-and-plastic.html' title='It&apos;s just metal and plastic!'/><author><name>will</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02492603661425478226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RoUrHs1hSsI/AAAAAAAAAYI/78lcVnU99Gs/s72-c/Picture+1.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490405521929122443.post-8473987489574711378</id><published>2007-06-22T08:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-22T08:39:50.042-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Need to kill time?</title><content type='html'>This online game is pretty entertaining.

In my opinion it shouldn't even be called a phone. It should've been called an IPod and considered a new generation of the IPod. When it's called an IPhone, it suggests that the phone is the main feature and everything else is secondary... which I guess at this point it is. However, in a few years, I think this thing will grow up to be an all purpose device that most everyone will want and have. This is assuming secondary apps will be developed as well as apple's own design team will update as fast as they update everything else. This could quite possibly turn into something that replaces everything that you keep in your pockets... ipod, phone, wallet, keys, etc... Anyway, I plan on getting one sometime. I switched from Verizon to Cingular just to do so... and also because Verizon sucks. I plan to wait maybe a year though.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490405521929122443-4136571094814546772?l=nycwill.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/feeds/4136571094814546772/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490405521929122443&amp;postID=4136571094814546772' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/4136571094814546772'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/4136571094814546772'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/2007/06/will-iphone-change-world.html' title='Will the IPhone change the world?'/><author><name>will</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02492603661425478226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/Rm2TAaHyXII/AAAAAAAAAW4/7Qt6GW2WzVc/s72-c/Picture+2.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490405521929122443.post-4076746207021445631</id><published>2007-05-29T17:48:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-29T17:52:42.068-07:00</updated><title type='text'>rawr!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RlzKSVLp1UI/AAAAAAAAAWw/PSVEOfzkYZU/s1600-h/Picture+2.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RlzKSVLp1UI/AAAAAAAAAWw/PSVEOfzkYZU/s400/Picture+2.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070149696784815426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490405521929122443-4076746207021445631?l=nycwill.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/feeds/4076746207021445631/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490405521929122443&amp;postID=4076746207021445631' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/4076746207021445631'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/4076746207021445631'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/2007/05/rawr.html' title='rawr!'/><author><name>will</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02492603661425478226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RlzKSVLp1UI/AAAAAAAAAWw/PSVEOfzkYZU/s72-c/Picture+2.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490405521929122443.post-2687799341518252867</id><published>2007-05-28T13:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-28T13:32:38.815-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Issey Miyake Watch</title><content type='html'>I'm afraid of this watch because it may burn my wrist cuz itza so hawt.

Saatchi. It features Kurt Cobain, Joey Romone, Sid Vicious, and Joe Strummer. All of course are dead... and apparently in heaven. So rock fans and christians will, I guess, unite to say this one is pretty tasteless. I can't really comment on taste since I believe that to be completely subjective. I can however relate with Saatchi &amp; Saatchi and hypothesize based on first hand accounts on how something like this occurs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The creative process, generally and abbreviatedly speaking, begins with an idea. That idea is brainstormed upon to come up with a bunch of ideas based off of that inital idea. From that point it is just widdled down and tweaked until it is exactly the way the "artist" wants it to be. The problem with this is that when working closely on anything, it's always tough to step back and see the work with "fresh" eyes. This is especially tough for creative people I think mainly because even when the project isn't working, the creative person will come up with a "creative" vision on how the work will be received. For instance, when the ad was conceived and executed to what is shown here, I bet there must have been a point where they questioned if the ad was in fact tasteless. They then saw that most people would look at it as a homage to rock idols as well as making a witty observation on the lasting quality of Doc Martens. Great concept for an art piece and maybe student work. However they forgot that people just see dead people being used to peddle shoes. How could they not see this? Because they were too close in on the project. They just saw a seemingly good idea and went with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe this is how all bad ideas become realized. We see this in Hollywood all the time.... for example, through the randomness of my HBO setup, we've come across The Son of the Mask playing every once in awhile. How the hell did this movie ever get made?! Someone obviously came up with the idea, wrote a script, convinced a lot of people, and made this piece of crap. I bet somewhere in the production of the movie, someone said or thought to themselves... what the hell are we doing? This is going to be worst movie ever made! This segment of my life is being spent on the creation of the audio/visual equivalent of feces! But then ultimately they were persuaded by either the need to make money or by convincing themselves that it may actually turn out to be good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I don't know where I was going with this other then, I've been there Saatchi... and um, Saatchi. It's not entirely your fault. Someone should've piped up when they recognized that the idea was a bad one. In the blindness of creating something, its up to you to recognize when you're getting advice from the one eyed man... or woman.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490405521929122443-5285071829559940227?l=nycwill.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/feeds/5285071829559940227/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490405521929122443&amp;postID=5285071829559940227' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/5285071829559940227'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/5285071829559940227'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/2007/05/in-land-of-blind-one-eyed-man-is-king.html' title='In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.'/><author><name>will</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02492603661425478226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RlcQc1Lp1HI/AAAAAAAAAVI/PgEElf1ThPk/s72-c/Picture+4.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490405521929122443.post-4367004033929215021</id><published>2007-05-24T14:53:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-24T14:53:36.089-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Car Fire!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height='350' width='425'&gt;&lt;param value='http://youtube.com/v/Q4N2X6mj2zw' name='movie'&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/Q4N2X6mj2zw'&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There was a car on fire in front of my building!!!

Thoughts of Star Trek and Babylon 5 popped into my mind. Thin stories, cheesy dialogue, lazy special effects.. etc. One day whilst Lauren and I were bored, I checked out our tried and true entertainment website... &lt;a href="http://tv-links.co.uk"&gt;www.tv-links.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;. I clicked on Battlestar Galactica absent mindedly assuming that I would shut it off after a few seconds and watch something else. We've stopped watching it on tv-link and started to netflix it and are currently on Season 2.5. It is hands down my favorite show on television right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember watching the old TV shows as a kid with my brother. We always had this love hate relationship with the show. Like every other boy growing up in the early eighties, Star Wars was the best thing in the world. So Battlestar Galactica in my mind was a reasonable substitute. Even as a kid though, I was able to see how camp it was. The updated release however has no camp and in fact exhibits more realistic human drama than even golden globe winning dramas like Grey's Anatomy (which I find to be the worst brain numbing candy cane soap opera on the tube right now) ever achieved. The special effects are completely on point and the story has incredible depth in terms of the attention to detail in the writing. There have been multiple times when I turned to Lauren and said I wished they'd do this or that... and the very next episode it would happen. Anyway, call me a dork but Battlestar Galactica is good television.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490405521929122443-4421244573465716605?l=nycwill.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/feeds/4421244573465716605/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490405521929122443&amp;postID=4421244573465716605' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/4421244573465716605'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/4421244573465716605'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/2007/05/battlestar-galactica.html' title='Battlestar Galactica'/><author><name>will</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02492603661425478226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RlPDNlLp1AI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/hKSk3y8sy_4/s72-c/Battlestar_Galactica_iso.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490405521929122443.post-2672283456590504032</id><published>2007-05-22T13:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-23T12:49:19.077-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Shun Knives</title><content type='html'>I can't pretend to be someone that loves to cook. I like it enough to do it every so often. However for some reason I love kitchen knives. I like chopping things. I try to copy those iron chefs with their speedy chops but so far I chop like a retarded 5 year old with one eye and no thumbs. Anyway, we've been getting a lot of reps since the Orlando show approaching us with offers to represent Prepara. One of these reps happens to be the North American Rep for Shun Knives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RlNVgVLp0-I/AAAAAAAAAUA/ZhgE2HuTHek/s1600-h/Picture+3.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RlNVgVLp0-I/AAAAAAAAAUA/ZhgE2HuTHek/s320/Picture+3.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5067488019652137954" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love these knives. Before I knew anything about them, I loved the design of them. From the asymetric pakka wood handle to the interesting "layered" grain of the blade, everything works together and looks very honest. A lot of design in terms of kitchen stuff has resorted to making things look very flashy and modern while offering no added advantage to the industry (ahem... excluding our stuff of course). I like the "traditional" look of the Shuns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RlNXX1Lp0_I/AAAAAAAAAUI/rDbDK6IRooQ/s1600-h/Picture+4.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RlNXX1Lp0_I/AAAAAAAAAUI/rDbDK6IRooQ/s320/Picture+4.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5067490072646505458" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its very quiet and unassuming which I think speaks volumes in this over saturated and often times over designed industry. When things are quiet and unassuming, it's as though they're confident in its ability to perform well and do not need design bells and whistles to garner attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottom line, we were able to get some great deals on these knives. I picked up two sets.

Lauren said it was "just okay". I enjoyed it. 4 out of 5. I was completely engaged throughout the enitre movie and the pace of the movie I thought was excellent... and I'm not normally a fan of "zombie" movies... although I guess they weren't technically zombies.&lt;br /&gt;The most entertaining part of the movie wasn't even the movie! We invited our friends Chris and Jui out to watch it with us which is always interesting. Chris is from Long Island and Jui's from New Jersey. I find them completely entertaining people mainly because they're so different from anyone else that I've ever known. Last night at the movie as soon as the previews started to roll, they (mainly Jui) started up a conversation in their "normal" talking voice. This continued throughout the first half of the movie until someone in front of them turned around and shushed them. After that they quieted down. What I love is that they have completely different rules of movie etiquette then anyone else. It's not that they know you're supposed to be quiet and talk dispite that, they're completely oblivious to that rule and therefore just roll on like they're in their living room. I like them because they're honest people... they do what they do without any motives. If they're rude, they don't mean to be... they just have something to say. At least they're not quiet because that's the way you're "supposed" to be. I admire that. But I think I'll just whisper anyway.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490405521929122443-7842808719160435625?l=nycwill.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/feeds/7842808719160435625/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490405521929122443&amp;postID=7842808719160435625' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/7842808719160435625'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/7842808719160435625'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/2007/05/28-weeks-later.html' title='28 Weeks Later'/><author><name>will</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02492603661425478226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RkcVzb_jEQI/AAAAAAAAATg/v-_W70DKQSc/s72-c/photo_13.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490405521929122443.post-485242441560004709</id><published>2007-05-10T15:14:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-10T15:14:49.112-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Darth Vader being a smartass</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height='350' width='425'&gt;&lt;param value='http://youtube.com/v/5blbv4WFriM' name='movie'&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/5blbv4WFriM'&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;HAHAHAHAHA&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490405521929122443-485242441560004709?l=nycwill.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/feeds/485242441560004709/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490405521929122443&amp;postID=485242441560004709' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/485242441560004709'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/485242441560004709'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/2007/05/darth-vader-being-smartass.html' title='Darth Vader being a smartass'/><author><name>will</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02492603661425478226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490405521929122443.post-8704609519182563651</id><published>2007-05-10T13:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-23T12:26:44.833-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Prepara Orlando Show</title><content type='html'>So we've just launched Prepara.

Out of all the trade shows, Orlando is the smallest. Dean has said yesterday that we are the toast of the show. But the show again is a small one... but this still is a good sign. Anyway, look for Prepara to hit the stores soon and hopefully for a while to come!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490405521929122443-8704609519182563651?l=nycwill.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/feeds/8704609519182563651/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490405521929122443&amp;postID=8704609519182563651' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/8704609519182563651'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/8704609519182563651'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/2007/05/prepara-orlando-show.html' title='Prepara Orlando Show'/><author><name>will</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02492603661425478226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_igK-_ZbTD4I/RkN9er_jENI/AAAAAAAAATI/TLmJyDTyRYo/s72-c/%40IMG_7713.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490405521929122443.post-8505974969229546523</id><published>2007-05-10T13:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-10T13:09:10.331-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hello World!</title><content type='html'>Hi there! I've decided to create this blog just for myself (and maybe to some select friends). I'm just going to use it to post links to funny stuff, interesting design stuff I may find, thoughts, pics, etc... Basically a dump site for my interests. I have a xanga site but I find it kind of pretentious to put this kind of material on such a site where strangers casually pass by on. This way only people generally interested in the utterly useless things I have to say can visit here and get an update! Anyway, hopefully I'll keep it interesting... =)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4490405521929122443-8505974969229546523?l=nycwill.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/feeds/8505974969229546523/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4490405521929122443&amp;postID=8505974969229546523' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/8505974969229546523'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4490405521929122443/posts/default/8505974969229546523'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nycwill.blogspot.com/2007/05/hello-world.html' title='Hello World!'/><author><name>will</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02492603661425478226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
