OK...now I want a Carlton Draught Beer......

Beer ads don't need skinny girls in bikinis to make me want to go out and buy their product.

Are feature requests getting weird because the hardware is so good? Are we just picking on the little things now?

Time Wasters
I think everyone with a computer has some game or activity that is fun or at the very least "wastes" time when you could be working or during things that might (and I mean that in the nicest way) be more productive. I've been a fan of the game Breakout for many years and its been my favorite way to "waste time" for ages. Recently I came across a "breakout" style game that has quickly become a time-waster obsession. Its called BreakQuest and is from the guys at Red Marble Games. There is a demo version available for you to try out and there are many levels to the game. Give it a try. And how about you? Do you have a favorite "Time Waster" that you'd like to share with any wanna-be slackers? Post them here.

The Graphic Reporter's Tip of the Week

On last night's show we spoke of Tips & Tricks for Aging Photos. There are so many fun & easy ways to destroy a photo in Photoshop. I'll also show you where to find some really cool and FREE brushes for download. I've also posted some basic scanning resolutions. Enjoy!

Widget of the Week goes to Gas--a brilliant widget which allows you to find the cheapest price for gas in your zip code.

See y'all next week!

iTunes PodCasts are Here!

Well, Apple finally took the wraps off of podcasting support for iTunes. There's a new version avialble for download or from your Software Update Preference Pane. There's a limited selection of podcasts available right now but all the "biggies" are there.

While you browse around, we would appreciate it if you would subscribe to the YML PodCast.

Hmmm...I guess this means we'll have to do more podcasts, won't it?

Steve Jobs spoke at Stanford University
Steve Jobs spoke at Stanford University

After WWDC I travelled down to stay in Menlo Park for a couple of days, which is not that far from Palo Alto and Stanford University. It just so happens that some guy called Steve Jobs was speaking at their Commencement Ceremony earlier today:-)

Here are my photos:

There is a bit of video too that was taken with my still camera at max'd out digital zoom, so it is not great :-(
Hopefully Stanford University will put a stream up on their site next week as they have said here:
http://commencement.stanford.edu/faqs/index.html#6

It was broadcast live on the University radio Station http://kzsu.stanford.edu/ and yes, I am a complete idiot as I should have told you all about it beforehand and then someone would have recorded it.

Please keep an eye out for it on the web. The transcript or an audio file will give you the 'real' insight into an Icon.

I imagine that it was the most personal public speech that he has ever made.

Oh... and I shook his hand afterwards :-)
