Be the envy of anyone who has ever crashed (everyone?) by sporting the Windows Blue Screen of Death t-shirt from errorwear. Or send the shivering willies down the little neck hairs of nearby Mac fanatics with a Mac Bomb t-shirt.

The pictured t-shirt is one I inadvertantly made. I was attempting to print something "nice", maybe even pastoral on t-shirt transfer paper when I plugged the printer into the wrong port and got a goodly sized paragraph of appletalk gibberish spewed over the page. Not one to waste almost perfectly good xfer paper, I improvised, added a few glyphs and a dash of color. Viola, designer shirt! Admitedly it's not nearly as recognizable or marketable as the blue screen of death or mac bomb.



Time to set the wayback machine for a visit to Yesterdayland. Includes a short interview with Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson (she doesn't look anything like him...) and toys collected by era, including some of the more dangerous ones: Jarts (lawn missiles...I kid you not) and Clackers.

An Introduction to AppleScript on Mac OS X.
By the way, scripters, it can now do web services (XML, SOAP, etc..), trigger other scripts (perl/shell?), and perform all kinds of Quicktime magic. Plus they've just released AppleScript Studio with the other free developer tools.

AppleScript Studio combines an application framework with a development environment, allowing you to provide sophisticated user interfaces for applications that execute AppleScripts. With the Developer Tools, you'll find an integrated solution for turning your AppleScripts into Mac OS X applications that support the Aqua user interface.



The Chemical science network has a slick, interactive Periodic Table (flash required).

Meanwhile, over in Purdue they are developing motorless fans for cooling PCs using piezoelectric ceramics. No motors, spinning blades, or bearings, just a little blade wagging back and forth like a happy puppy tail.
