Giacomo Brunelli is a great photographer and he set out to capture the spirit and essence of everyday animals in a new book.

I have several Apple MacBook computers and a single Cinema Display; but one can never have too many keyboards.  As you can see below, I've gone wacky for the gorgeous, new, chicklet-style keyboards from Apple.  On the left is the wired "laptop" keyboard; next to it is the wired "full" keyboard with numeric keys; beneath that is the Bluetooth keyboard. All of these keyboards allow you to control the brightness of the screen and manage the starting and stopping of music or movies.

The business of writing is not mystical or special.  Writing is tough and thankless work and I don't know a working writer who has time to stop to attend a writer's group because the author is either in the middle of a deadline or is collapsing after just hitting a drop-dead date.

Sometimes you see something that makes you wonder if the people responsible for that thing have any connection to reality or if they are living in their own world where the skies are purple and roses bloom forth from open wounds. Every day while walking to work in New York, I am confronted by this a large billboard of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs clambering out of a helicopter with two hot girls.
