Joel Johnson won a bid for “Wally Wood’s 22 Panels That Always Work!!” and has provided hi-res scans of the panels for the benefit of those on the internet. You might recognize some of the panels from your favorite newspaper comics…
Thanks Andy!

iMac glass panel is held on by magnets

I just learned that the iMac glass panel which protects the LCD monitor is held in place by 14 magnets. All you need are two good suction cups and the glass pops off.

Back To The Future time circuit panel for iPhone
January 31, 2009 @ 2:29 pm
I didn’t know there was an app for the iPhone that emulated the look of the time circuit panel in the DeLorean time machine from Back To The Future. That’s pretty cool. If only it was free because honestly, it doesn’t do much except tell you the time and serve as a makeshift alarm clock.
For obvious reasons, “DeLorean” is misspelled in the name of the app, so you’ll have to click that link to get to it. Anyway, it looks nice but it doesn’t really take you back in time. Boo.
Thanks Clarksworth for the picture!
WordPress 2.7 gets released later today
December 4, 2008 @ 2:29 am
The big news in the blogging community is the release of WordPress 2.7 at 8PM EST tonight (December 4, 2008). I’ve had the pleasure of testing WP 2.7 in the past few weeks and I am excited for a final release of the blogging system. The refreshed admin panel alone is worth the upgrade along with several behind-the-scenes features which will benefit publishers (readers of any blog won’t know that a thing has changed). The layout of everything in the admin panel is just so much smarter and easier to get to than before, thanks to nested menus (built-in) and a better dashboard layout.
Anyway, I’ll be glad to leave some of my plugins behind when I upgrade to this new release of WordPress. Having certain features built-in is just so much more stable than relying on a plugin.
UPDATE: Just to clarify, WP 2.7 will be out tonight on WordPress.com blogs, and if all goes well, the full version will be released on December 10 for those of us who are self-hosted.
