Mac OS X, if you have any interest to it, you will sure to know that Apple favors feline. Since they came out with OS X 10.0 they had been codenaming them after any known wild cats. It’s interesting. Here’s the list:

Nice, huh?

Today is Sunday and I am needed to be at the office. Hmmm… What a luck! And my sis and her boyfriend should have gone to watch the movie. What the hell…

I was around Amcorp Mall today and was purposely there to check out some mags. I bought Beautiful/Decay : Issue N. Found out about this guy called Aaron Noble who applies the technique of US superheroes comic sketches and drawing styles into his work, incorporates them in such an abstract way that you might think you are looking at something but it’s not.

Don’t get it? Go here. Cool stuff.

“Collage is a fine art tradition, comics are a popular entertainment tradition, and muralism or wall painting is a populist art practice that insists on its availability to a democratic audience.” - Aaron Noble.

I dunno where to put this site at first. But I thought, hey this can be source of ideas so… Here it is.

Ever encounter this problem?

You use text tool in Illustrator, select a square area for the text, type some paragraphs in it, justify and there you have, an article nicely lay out, straight at both side but with broken words with ‘-’ at the end of the line. No matter how you try to adjust the box, some words fit nicely and the other just don’t.

Here’s a tip. Whenever you get this problem, select the space right before the broken word, keep hitting spacebar until the whole broken word is pushed to next line. Keep doing this to all the broken words and you will get a nice evenly-spaced line for the whole article.

Same goes to that if you happens to align the paragraph to the right. At the end of the paragraph, some how the last word is not aligned entirely to right and has a space on its right. Like this:

This time right after the full stop, hit the spacebar once and the words will automatically aligned right.

Don’t ask why, I also dunno. Hope you understand and this helps.
