MDI: Now Mac-like?

John Nack on Adobe: Future Photoshop UI changes
Pretty interesting post from Photoshop's senior product manager about the betas of CS4 apps, which I'm just starting to kick the tires of, multiple-document-interface (single-window) apps, and whether or not they're Mac-like.

Before video games we had TOYS!

Artists pay tribute to the time before video games: Pretty ponies, Skeletor, die-cast cars and more. Photography by Todd Sternisha and Natasha O. Chaney.

A merger aside

LA Weekly for iPhone

LASpeaking of Andy Baio, this isn't as nice as the mobile version of Upcoming on Leaflets, but if you want to get a quick look at movies, concerts, and gallery showings currently going on in and around Los Angeles, try LA Weekly Go Mobile, my skunkworks repackaging of LA Weekly's listings. For better and worse, it loads the widget as one big bolus, so while it takes a few seconds to come up, it then lets you click around instantly to different days and categories once it loads. This is both unofficial and a work in progress, so there's a ways to go, but I welcome the suggestions of anyone who happens to stumble upon it.

Ladytron pictures

Ladytron put on a free concert at the outdoor mall down Hollywood Blvd. from me last night. Natasha and I went out and got some pictures. A couple of samples:

Shamrock Shakes

X-Entertainment: The Quest For McDonald's Shamrock Shakes!
