The iMac is ten

Ah, I remember it like it was yesterday. The iMac is ten. It was my first MacWorld Expo. My first time seeing Steve Jobs in person. I think I may have cried. It was like going to see a rock concert. Actually you know what it was like? It was like when Primal Scream put XTRMNTR! out and this thing you loved, but had strayed a bit, this thing you always loved, came back and did it all once again, and you know everything that everything was going to be okay.

I remember that grid. I remember how excited I was watching that last square be filled in.

I remember trying to hook up my new iMac to my Agfa Accuset Imagesetter with hardware RIP. Oh, um. Never mind.

Happy birthday, iMac.

Is it just me, and I’m old, or does this seem like a really bad idea?

Woo hoo! Boy, we’re excited about this. Remember ROFLCon? Well it’s back! ROFLThing SF is hitting the bay area on August 28th and 29th and it’s a doozy. It’s got Waxy.org, I Can Has Cheezburger, Twitter Fail Whale Fan Club and nerdcore rapper Doctor Popular.

But best of all, the Barbarians will be hosting a special VIP cocktail party with none other than Chris Onstad, creator of the legendary Achewood online comic. As a longtime fan of Achewood, I cannot convey to you how ridiculously excited we are about this. G&Ts all around. This is going to rule.

More info and registration on the ROFLCon site.

Dude check out the sweet talk Robert gave at Flash in the Can in Toronto earlier this year. It’s a pretty amazing talk about Processing. Kinda mind blowing. Yay robert!’
