Every now and then I tend to get restless with this blog’s design, and these past few days have been a perfect example of this. Though this new design was built from the ground up, it is essentially a refreshed version of the last site design, entitled “Redux”. Hopefully I’ll slow down with the designing and concentrate on the actual content, but in the mean time, I hope you like this new design that I’ve appropriately dubbed Redux 2.

When applying for a job, many companies request a cover letter — an introduction to the résumé that will follow — as a way for the job-seeker to highlight their strengths and experiences for the employer, to distinguish themselves from the other applicants. Of course, the job-seeker will want to make this cover letter as appealing as possible so as to make a lasting impression on the employer that might result in an interview. In this hilarious and completely true cover letter (mirror), Wayne cuts out the fluff and, really, cuts out anything that could get him an interview! Well worth checking out, and I, personally, can’t wait to see if he does anything with it, being the clearly audacious fellow he is.

In the wake of the excitement in the world of Apple, recently, I seemed to have glossed over the fact that the new wireless keyboard is essentially that found on a MacBook laptop. Only after seeing a comparison of the wired and wireless keyboards in this post did I realize just how small, and frankly, cute the wireless model is. Leave it to Apple to make even their keyboards — perhaps the most uninteresting computer peripheral around — not only extremely well-designed, but cute!

Despite the fact that the keys are quite squished together for a non-laptop keyboard, the fact that it lacks a numpad and some other keys, and above all that it costs a whopping $79, every time I see this keyboard — an intangible object, a computer input device! — I get a little surge of excitement.
Damn you, Apple. The white-on-aluminum gets me every time.
