  • I’m giving away Google Wave invites!

    is google wave still relevant, or 2009’s biggest disappointment?  i’m still holding out for relevant, but i think it needs the kind of all-hands-in adoption that email has today.  but you’re sick of hearing the hype, right?  all these people talking and you still haven’t even seen what the damn thing looks like.  well you’re…

  • Free Desktop Wallpaper: Dehli, 4am

    This dark, noir wallpaper is currently adorning 3 monitors at Arcane Palette Central.  The dark theme is easy on the eyes, especially after a long day staring at white pixels.  It takes the classic smoky look and adds an interesting wallpaper texture, giving the feeling of sitting in a dark hookah bar, sipping a mango lassi.

  • SoftBank is my new favorite company in the world

    how can you not love a company that not only has a talking dog, and an American woman screaming something aggressive and samurai-ly in Japanese, but also has Quentin Tarrantino doing some crazy ass shit? that not convince you?  maybe these two ads with brad pitt co-starring as a sumo wrestler’s personal assistant may help:…

  • the not-so-hidden value of netflix

    i’m pretty much completely in love with netflix. it started with some casual experimentation through a friend during college.  he had a netflix subscription and we’d often get triple features of obscure asian action flicks (digging deep in the early career of jet li with the once upon a time in china series — which i highly recommend,…
