So it's true - a short snooze during the day will boost your mood and your intelligence - but there's more to it than simply closing your eyes. Link

Happy 25th Birthday Mac
Like a lot of us, I have been a Mac user for many years - pretty much since the beginning in 1984, when I was in high school. Here's to another 25 years - Happy Birthday Mac.
1984 Apple Mac Ad - best SuperBowl ad ever, which only officially aired once!

A Tribute to Tony Hart
Tony Hart - the man who inspired a generation of artists, died yesterday. His enthusiasm for all genres of art was infectious - He was instrumental in building the foundation for the artist/animator, I am today. He was the best sort of teacher - one who shows you a technique; then encourages you to take it to the next level.

Beautiful Children
Given the escalation of conflict in Gaza this weekend, I've been glued to the internet news sites (like most of you, I'm sure). Here are a couple of links that I felt were worth a look, and second look...
Protest photos from all around the world - ongoing;
A proposed solution for peace in the Middle East; the above graffiti; discovered on a wall near Dizengoff Circle in Tel Aviv. This simple sentiment reflects a central problem of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the larger web of sectarian conflicts in the region. Change won’t happen as long as each faction hates the other more than they love their own children.
Peace, coming to a world near you, soon - Insh'Allah.

Happy New Year - 2009
May peace break into your house, and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills. May love stick to your face like glue, and may laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success, and may happiness slap you across the face, and may your tears be that of joy. May all the problems you have be forgotten and... may 2009 be peaceful and prosperous for us all.
