Apple have finally unveiled a tablet computer, the iPad. The anticipation leading up to this launch and the speculation surrounding it has been truly staggering. Yet I find myself strangely underwhelmed by the device.

Index + Exhibit: A web application used to build and maintain an archetypal, invisible website format that combines text, images, movies and sound. Looks interesting and I’ll use this as soon as I have a project for which it would be appropriate.

Andrew Chase is an artist who really inspires me. Not only is he an accomplished photographer and notable furniture designer, he is also a sculptor — and his work in this area is astonishing in its intricacy, beauty and emotion.
Chase builds fantastically realistic, anatomically correct and fully articulated sculptures of animals that are stunning to behold.
I love the steampunk feel of both his sculpture and his furniture. His choice of materials is beyond reproach and his completed pieces are sure to delight all who see them.
How I’d love to have his cheetah prowling around my house.

I received an email yesterday that had me momentarily confused:
ya know its really bad form to claim copyright on photos that you haven’t taken. I noticed this on a few photos on your site recently and then on http://blog.urbanmainframe.com/2009/05/mac-finder-icon-canvas/ you put your copyright on the picture even though it clearly says underneath that the photo is by purplelime. That sucks man. You really should rethink this coz it makes you look bad and I also think it illegal.
I realised that what I was actually being chastised for is the recent addition of the urbanmainframe.com digital watermark to some of the images on the site (rendered with the Scissors WordPress plug-in).
Flickr user purplelime has painted a smiley Mac Finder icon on canvas and, as you can see above, it’s simply awesome. I want one.

There can’t be many street artists who have their own entry on Wikipedia. The pseudo-anonymous Banksy has one and it’s quite comprehensive too.
Banksy’s artwork is usually controversial, always thought provoking and great for prompting discussion. The message is usually anti-war, anti-capitalism and/or anti-establishment. He paints with stencils — which renders a surreal, almost photographic quality to his images.
I absolutely adore his style.
The ten images presented here need no further commentary. In fact, they’re better without it, so that your own interpretation of the message of each is untainted by mine. Enjoy!
Apple Art Graphics Imaging Macintosh OS X Photography Software
As pretty as it is, the default login image of your Macintosh can get boring after a while. While it has always been possible to change the login wallpaper, it’s a convoluted process and a little intimidating for the non-technical user.
Well not any more! I’ve just found a program called Loginox that reduces this task to a simple drag-and-drop operation (that’s much more Mac-like!)
Note to Apple: get this software licensed and integrated into OS X. We want this feature.
