Flickr Find: iPaint myMac
Satta van Daal is a talented stencil artist from Germany, now living in Australia. His canvas? A vast array of old Macs: from SEs to LCs to PowerBook 100s. He decorates them with everything from vignettes of Steve and Woz to carefully recreating the look of Susan Kare's original one-bit Mac icon set. If you live in southeast Australia, and have an old Mac you're willing to let go of, he might turn it into his next work of art. He plans on showing his art in an expo titled iPaint MyMac later this year in Melbourne, and hopefully Sydney soon after. You may like his t-shirts, too. [Via Team Teabag.]
Local news stations switching to HDTV before the Super Bowl
Marty Lee dropped us a tip that KARE-11 in Minneapolis/St. Paul is going to switch their news broadcasts to high definition in late April, but they're not the only ones. Apparently it's not just consumers and advertisers who are hyped up over Super Bowl Sunday, as NBC affiliate WXIA-11 in Atlanta switched to HD last night, and ABC affiliate KIFI-8 in Idaho will make the switch Sunday.In the Detroit area, I believe the Fox affiliate broadcasts local news in high definition, but that is it. With the rapidly dropping equipment costs and coming conversion to DTV, has your local news team made the change yet?
