apple store: osaka

It looks like I'll get an Apple Store in my neck of the woods on August 28. I'll not be there for opening day, since the Ginza Apple Store opening generated a line of completely stupendous length, and the odds of me getting in for the first 250 people, all of whom presumably want the ¥300,000 fuku-bukuro ("lucky bag") with three-times' that worth in merchandise, are practically nil. What's in those bags, anyway? From a forum post, the Ginza bag was:
  • Airport extreme base station
  • iLife
  • Keynote
  • .mac
  • bluetooth keyboard
  • bluetooth mouse
  • bluetooth adapter (the 3rd party product)
  • 10% off Apple card
  • silver ipod mini
That's actually pretty great for that amount of money. Hrm.

Tony diTerlizzi and classic D&D monsters

The sixth entry of his series on drawings of classic D&D monsters is up. He's one of my favorite fantasy artists. His work tends toward the charming and cozy, rather than others' focus on machismo or melodrama.

sad fate

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
