Just Another iPad Blog | Destroy 2000 Years of Culture 3 Comments By 64NOMIS on January 27, 2010 “It’s going to succeed because no one has tried it before” It’s pretty easy to slam the new iPad. It’s a media consumption device in a coffee table book form factor. And its not the first. I carelessly abuse books. I don’t think this unit would survive the inhumane conditions granted to my last three paperbacks. I worry my 50” plasma isn’t big enough. I have no intereste in watching TV in my lap, much less a move I actually want to enjoy. I am an aggressive mu...

FREE AT LAST | TWKR 2 Comments By 64NOMIS on June 30, 2009 Today my daughter and I walked past a window and inside was a white motor cycle with red and blue stars and the signature of Evil Kinievel. I stopped, and briefly explained to a two year old who he was, what he did, and why that mattered. To which she asked, why? A month ago I asked K|ngp|n, chew* and Gomeler if they would join us in Austin for a liquid helium exhibition testing new, experimental processors.
