Colleen Wants Your Danish Goodies

That's adorable.


Colleen Wants Your Danish Goodies: "

If you’re going to be at the New York comics convention February 24 -26, Colleen Doran, illustrator of ORBITER and creator of A DISTANT SOIL says:


For every person that brings a Danish Flag, button, or any product of Denmark, including a book or newspaper, I will give you a free head sketch and donate $1 to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. Don’t expect fancy sketches, it’s a short weekend.


You don’t have to give me your Danish trade goods, just show Denmark some love, and I’ll show you some love, by giving you a precious pearl of a doodle (no pictures of Mohammed, please - do not ask for the Legion of Superheroes, either), and I’ll put a tip in the CBLDF’s jar.


And yes, I know the difference between the Swedish flag and the Danish flag.


If you insist on giving me Danish chocolate, I won’t object.

Apple Seeks (Poetic) Justice

This is just so damned cute.


Apple Seeks (Poetic) Justice: "

Seems
Apple has href="http://www.osx86project.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=119&Itemid=2">hidden a secret
message to OSX86 hackers to find in the 10.4.4 build of Mac OS X for Intel. And this time it's in verse!
/>Your karma check for today:
There once was a user that whined
his existing OS was so blind,
he'd
do better to pirate
an OS that ran great
but found his hardware declined.
Please don't steal Mac OS!/>Really, that's way uncool.
(C) Apple Computer, Inc.


Sure, it's not the greatest poem, but how
funny is this! I've always loved easter eggs in software and this is the best kind. The people who run OSX86 Project
site have offered up their own poetic reply to Apple. You can read it at their site.

I humbly offer up my
own poetic reply in the style of William Carlos Williams after the jump...


This Is Just to Say

I have beaten
the DRM
that was in
the Intel box

and
which
you were probably
saving
for Leopard.

Forgive me
it was auspicious
so sweet/>and so fast./>'''''''''''''''''' - not
