Orange MacBook Air

I saw this in a facebook sidebar ad, check it out:
orange crush

I’m pretty sure that (a) I’m not going to jump through the dubious hoops at chooseyourcolor.com and (b) that it’s a spray-on recolorized Mac, not one with Orange anodization, but still pretty fun given that K still has an Orange clamshell iBook running around.

  

Rant/link post

First, a triple-shot of holy-crap-has-mlb-gone-in-the-crapper. Selig denies he should share in the blame, the Players Union is clueless, etc.

All of this, however, pales in comparison to the story out of Luzerne County, PA, where a judge and a colleague plead guilty to fraud and for taking more than $2.6 million in kickbacks to send ~ 750 teenagers to two privately run youth detention centers. That’s some seriously sick shit. And the sad part is, I’m not surprised. Our ‘criminal injustice’ system is so far out of whack, so far into the “for-profit” business, it’s not funny.
