Or at least the business equivalent. As Buck put it, “Windows 7? More like… Windows Vista! Am I rite?” I love the pic, very impactful, but it’s a bit below the belt. Apple can do better than that. 

Proof that the Star Wars universe is still awesome, no matter what George does to it. It also makes me wish I’d taken more 3d classes in college.

• Additional Una art here, here and here. Oh and some more here and here.

You can find a few chapters of the story and more artwork on his blog . This is also part of a new Live Journal community called Illyham.

The idea is that all the stories will surround the town of Illyham, a port town set in a generic fantasy universe. Any style of fantasy is welcome in the mix. Japanese RPG, Sword and Sorcery, 80’s cartoons, D&D, whatever. It’s completely open, so anyone can contribute. There are a few simple rules posted on the site. Ultimately, we plan to collect and publish the best stories that come out of this. I hope some of you guys feel inspired to contribute.

Another very promising story from the community is Lawrence of Illyham, Cooper. I know less about the creator for this one but it too has a ton of charm and personality. The art style is quite different than Una but also well worth checking out.

Note that these links may ask you to verify your age. I don’t believe there is anything NSFW in either Una or Lawrence but there are a few pieces in the community that are less than work safe.

The video for the spy in Team Fortress 2 is absolutely fantastic. So fantastic I thought I’d load up TF2 and try it out again. As expected, I am still quite terrible at it.

The Z is one of those cars that strikes me somewhere deep down in my design gut. The lines, curves, shape...everything. It all comes together into my ideal vehicle. I’ve loved the 350 for a while now but its always had a few issues that bugged me. Her ass was a little wide. The interior was a little drab. All of that seems to have been fixed in the latest evolution of the Z-car. The 370Z is a beauty. A lovely interior, shorter and more finely proportioned and even a bit more power. I have a life goal of owning a new sports car before I hit the big 3-0. Next year is my last chance. The 370Z couldn’t have come out at a better time.
