Sure Windows is bad. Awfully bad (I’m looking at you, Vista) but according to Charlie Brooker of The Guardian, there is something worse than Microsoft’s operating system: the cult of Mac worshippers!

Consequently, nothing pleases them more than watching a PC owner struggle with a slab of non-Mac machinery. It validates their spiritual choice. Recently I sat in a room trying to write something on a Sony Vaio PC laptop which seemed to be running a special slow-motion edition of Windows Vista specifically designed to infuriate human beings as much as possible. Trying to get it to do anything was like issuing instructions to a depressed employee over a sluggish satellite feed. When I clicked on an application it spent a small eternity contemplating the philosophical implications of opening it, begrudgingly complying with my request several months later. It drove me up the wall. I called it a bastard and worse. At one point I punched a table.

This drew the attention of two nearby Mac owners. They hovered over and stood beside me, like placid monks.

"Ah: the delights of Vista," said one.

"It really is time you got a Mac," said the other.

"They’re just better," sang monk number one.

"You won’t regret it," whispered the second.

But never fear, dear Mac lovers, Microsoft is trying to brew its own cult by using Windows 7 Launch Parties propaganda: Link

Folder Type is a typography created by Emilio Gomariz out of 22,655 color-coded Mac file folders. And here’s the kicker: no script was used – he did it all by hand, which proves that his folder-fu is much, much stronger than mine and that he’s got a lot of time on his hands.

No homebuilding slow down at my house. My two-and-a-half-and-don’t-
you-forget-the-half-daddy daughter is on a gingerbread house-building binge.

So when I was looking for inspiration online (read: wasting time in the guise of doing something productive), I ran across this fantastic gingerbread Mac by Flickr user minorbug.
