My mother has a brain tumor. She has four months to live. Please hurry.

Wasn't the alternative internet popular in the 90s? It was called AOL. It went away for a reason. Like I used to tell friends years ago, the internet is the wild west of the computer world- you're responsible for your own safety, no one else. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

The news isn't that they're doing these riffs, the news is that the are now doing them live via streaming at the site, and then a short live question and answer afterwards. They did one already, and it went well. They released the studio version of the riff, but I haven't seen it to see how different it was from the live version.

Really? I missed that memo. In fact, in the 20 years I've been working as a graphic designer, I haven't used a tablet and pen once. None of the newspapers I work for had them available. So, it's not really an instance of my being a "cheap-ass" or "wasting a LOT of ... clients time" or for that matter limiting myself "hard." But then, I'm working in an industry that's supposed to be dead as well; it's obvious that I have no idea what I'm talking about, especially since my newspaper just had a record year.

It's hard to picture touch computing replacing the mouse graphic design. I prefer to work without fingerprints all over my screen. Playing a FPS shooter would ... interesting ... as well.
