Roger Ebert on his interview in Esquire
[W]e’re all dying in increments. I don’t mind people knowing what I look like, but I don’t want them thinking I’m dying. To be fair, Chris Jones never said I was. If he took a certain elegiac tone, you know what? I might have, too. And if he structured his elements into a story arc, [...]
Roger Ebert: The Essential Man
Truly excellent article by Chris Jones in Esquire.
Ebert:
I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. [...]

Don’t know how I missed this, other than the fact that I’ve had a child in the hospital since Saturday, that is…
Doug Fieger, dead at 57:

Scott Bourne provides a professional photographer’s take on the iPad:
I get a real chuckle out of people who say you can’t use the iPad to show off your portfolio because it doesn’t run Flash. P L E A S E! Apple will ship the iPad with a wonderful photo viewer and you can bet your [...]

The Day the Music Died, +51 years
iTunes links: J. P. Richardson (aka The Big Bopper), Ritchie Valens, and of course, Buddy Holly.
Gotta have one, I just can’t yet explain precisely why…
…which I’m going to have to be able to do before “running it by my wife”. At least I’ve got some time.
Call me an Apple fanboy if you must (and that’s fine, I make my living as a “Senior Windows Developer” so it’s not going to phase me one bit), but I just have to [...]

My wish for the upcoming Apple event
What, only one? Well, this will probably surprise any Machead reading this, but it has nothing to do with the “tablet-thingy”. My wish? Take the AppleTV to the next level.
Personally, as someone who’s been waiting a long time to see the AppleTV become something more than just my iTunes library on my TV, I’d like [...]

Gay teen worried he might be Christian
Hellacious hilarity from The Onion:
LOUISVILLE, KY—At first glance, high school senior Lucas Faber, 18, seems like any ordinary gay teen. He’s a member of his school’s swing choir, enjoys shopping at the mall, and has sex with other males his age. But lately, a growing worry has begun to plague this young gay man. A [...]
