Probably my most favorite graphic out of the coverage of Apple’s new iPad. I hope AT&T really steps up.

I have to agree with every single statement collected on David Airey’s post describing what graphic design schools are seriously lacking in some areas.

Personally, I felt I had to learn a lot of what I needed in the “real world” on my own. That said, it didn’t seem like there were enough hours in a class to learn everything that seemed important.

Apple’s new deice will be called the Taplet and it will run Tapplications.

Really dig these movie posters. They’re so much more compelling than the ones that are created today. Break out your credit card here.

There’s also a nice series of similar posters for TV shows.

Just scan a color and start drawing. What a great way to work, unless you’re surrounded by bland colors. Kinda reminds me of the scene (I think in Total Recall) where the receptionist scans a color and then paints her nails.

Aparently so:

…humans’ brains are capable of managing a maximum of only 150 friendships, a study has found.

I wonder how much this changes as we age.

Back in the day I did my fair share of comic book collecting. In fact, I once spent an absurd amount of time cataloging my collection on to my janky old-school PC. Of course, after I was about 90% thru the process the hard drive crashed.

After working in the technology industry for a while I began to think that there has to be a better way to engage with comic books. Well, along came Graphic.ly to bring comic book reading and community into the digital age. You can try out the super rough beta by downloading the AIR application at http://graphic.ly/beta/.

Be warned, it is still in very early stages of development, but if you’re passionate about comics you have the opportunity to make the app the best it can be. I’m hoping to spend some time with it myself.
