But Barack certainly seems to get the young ones out. This is a great support video featuring celebs and music. If it were a single I’d buy it. As it stands perhaps I’ll find a way to get this video onto my computer. Ahem, umm, as I respect copyright laws and all of that.

How Apple Keyboards Lost a Logo and Windows PCs Gained One — RoughlyDrafted Magazine
An interesting history of the keyboard for Apple. I have to say, I’m a little sad there’s no more Apple on the keyboard.
Pick, design color schemes with Adobe’s Kuler. A nice webapp that is all about color design. And apparently there’s an app called Mondrianum that inserts kuler into Mac apps (Leopard only).

Bariatric surgery to cure diabetes. – MSNBC
Two groups. One with surgery. One without. Surgery group lost an average of 46 lbs over the 2 year study. The control group lost an average of 3! It is a surprise that the group who lost the most weight had higher incidences of diabetes remission? NO.
I know obesity surgeries force a life change in the subjects. But there’s also plenty of evidence to show that people learn to eat around those changes and still be overweight. Is overweight more healthy than obese? Yes. I just don’t think this is a realistic treatment. Yes it’s hard to lose weight. Yes it’s harder probably to change your life to be healthy. And harder still to keep it off (trust me I know, even though I’ve done a fairly decent job of it). But learning those skills HAS to be better than surgery right?
Having grand mal seizures is not a joking matter. But come on, this is ripe with humor about the quality of Sean Paul… but I’ll let it pass.

Story from the LA Times about a Google employee who’s gained a bit of in-house fame for his reviews of their free gourmet food. He also notes:
He is careful to measure portions and work out regularly at the Google gym. He does that to avoid the dreaded “Google 15” — a reference to the pounds new employees often put on amid unlimited supplies of free grub
Oh god yes. I’d imagine people put on weight like nobody’s business at first. I probably would as I have issues with portion control. Of course maybe if I was eating gourmet food, I’d be satiated quickly and not want to eat until I’m disgustingly full. Somehow I doubt it. Haha, just one more reason for me not to work at Google (not that I could).
