Ars Technica is HARDLY jumping the shark.  Its a good rag with some cutting edge information on it, but I don’t know. I just got that feeling after reading the post that something happened; where a fun meme is stating to be taken too seriously and soon; worse; will have a plethora of ‘experts’ doing the daytime TV circuit helping to explain what these ‘really’ mean little jonny or susy Q decides to use it in facebook.  Sigh..

I guess I’m reacting not at much to what Ars wrote, as to the possibility that some ‘guru’ out there is going to take it even further.  Ug.  Still, I do like the little guide they posted.  Check it out.

BTW, if you want to know more about rage face comics, check out knowyourmeme.

Face	Description
	Cereal Guy: A versatile character, Cereal Guy generally express surly skepticism (if he’s just eating), but he’s been known to spit his cereal everywhere if he is shocked or surprised.
	Forever Alone: Forever Alone is a sad, lonely individual with no friends and few options in life. He can be found in any situation where someone is feeling morose or, as the name implies, alone.
	F–k Yea: Almost the polar opposite of Forever Alone, F–k Yea walks with a swagger that can only come from victory, be it from a major accomplishment or from successfully handling something in everyday life
	Herp Derp: A character no one in the Rage Kingdom enjoys, Herp Derp can sometimes be simply obtuse and dumb, but more commonly he’s self-centered, uninformed, and completely sure of himself.
	LOL Guy: An easy guy to understand, LOL Guy howls with laughter at the funny situations he finds in rage comics.
	Me Gusta: His name means “I like” in Spanish, which is exactly what he expresses. Me Gusta can be used to express enjoyment in anything from the perverse (such as odd sexual activities) to the mundane (such as petting a cat).
	Okay Guy: If you’ve ever felt powerless to change something, you understand Okay Guy. He doesn’t stand up for himself in any situation; he simply sighs and put up with what life throws at him.
	Poker Face: Poker Face tries to hide his embarrassment in any awkward or uncomfortable situation, trying to pretend nothing is out of the ordinary as he waits for the situation to resolve itself.
	Rage Guy: One of the most basic characters, Rage Guy expresses pure, blind rage, typically directed at life’s small, everyday annoyances (like Troll Face’s antics). Rage Guy has also spawned several spinoff characters, such as Derp.
	Troll Face: One of the oldest and most widely-used faces, Troll Face is a prankster who makes others’ lives more difficult for his own amusement. His wide, toothy grin perpetually snickers at his victims.

I do not remember when I first started reading XKCD, but it has been a long time.

Many Thanks!

Here it is anyway.  Next step, I need to find the original post to give credit. I emailed the link to myself but not the post.. Fail.

Another good tip is to use your iphone as a flash light. Most people know that you can get enough light just from the screen being on to see, however one time we were out shopping at the power went out.  Next thing you know, everyone took out their cell phones and kept on shopping. A few people, myself included, knew to crank up the camera app and turn on the standby flash.  It was quite the sight being in a dead black store with no windows and 50 some people walking around using just cell phones.  Spooky in a way.  The power but dammit, they NEED TO SHOP!!

Now, I just have to wait for FCP X to finish its long beach ball antics so I can finish editing my film.

I still need to code up links, but this link should do for now..

And now… The Scene 1!  The rise and fall of Apple.

-> Scene 2: Google Rising.

Case in point? Reading a comic! I’m not a comic reader, but look how nice the images render on marvels new iPad app. Just like the other sneak peaks that have been making there way around the web that have to do with media consumption. This is the iPad’s big win. ‘Course, I still do not plan on buying one right away, I’ll wait awhile and see about getting a first gen a bit cheaper as soon as rumors start in the iPad 2.
So have a look at this video below. Imagine a magazine, or media rich website / blog. Oh hey, shutter to think…. A book with nice illustrations… I hear they exist.
