The Dark Knight
Posted by Rey
Hands down, probably the best comic movie to date. Ledger was fantastic, Gyllenhaal was brilliant and outshone Tom Cruise’s girl. And the ending just really summed up what Batman is all about. The dude is dead up the dark knight. Spoilers most likely for the comments section.

In recent years, Apple’s done a fair share of designing pretty products (if not hardware wise the best products) and have substantially increased their exposure to the public with product placement (they’re in Best Buy and Apple Stores) and advertising (no more pretentious posters: now we have the PC Guy vs. the Mac). In all this, Apple’s prices haven’t dropped so much to equate with a PC (that usually gives you more hardware wise). Also, Apple hasn’t bothered much with training in their products beyond the nearest Apple Store Genius but all in all it’s paid off.Apple is now the third largest computer seller in the United States, bumping Acer to Fourth.

I figured I should write something about the recent discovery of the Gabriel Tablet as they’re calling it. New York Times asserts that this tablet might actually prove that Christianity isn’t unique with its resurrections claims. What I found interesting about that bit is that most informed Christians don’t make a point of arguing about the uniqueness of the death and resurrection but rather the historicity of the death and resurrection. Let me flesh that out a bit.

Warning: there be spoilers in these waters. What was the last thing I spoke about? I don’t even remember anymore. It’s been a frighteningly busy couple of weeks jam packed with meetings, designing, freelance, and Vacation Bible School. Worst I even became part of this theological discussion site that is so absurdly addicting that I haven’t had even the remotest time to stop, breath and post something more than a haiku.

As a designer I find that sometimes I get really snooty about things that deal with color and structure even if it’s an area that I know very little about. I may not have that certain finesse to thematically tie a room together, but I’ll tell you what colors look right on the walls. That being the case, I’m going to post some info on makeup.

Posted by Rey
Tonight on Numbers, Charlie Eppes (childhood math genius now young, dynamic genius professor/mathematician) made an interesting statement that I think relates nicely with Lost. In this episode a soldier’s family was kidnapped to bring the soldier out of hiding (for some reason: presumably revenge). The Soldier came out of hiding to hunt down the kidnapper (presumably to get his family back then kill the kidnapper). But for some reason, the kidnappers weren’t killing the Soldier, just stringing the Soldier along. Eppes points out how the math is all wrong. Statistically speaking the Soldier should’ve been confronting his kidnappers already, and have been killed: yet he wasn’t dead. What’s going on? Article Tags>> Lost | numbers | spoilers | tv
