    PingMag has an interview up with Makoto Kinoshita, creator of a open-source web browser for the Mac called Shiira. Reading this definitely made me want to try it out, and so I’ve just downloaded it.

    Cool new anime alert: ERGO PROXY. I watched the first episode today (it airs on pay-channel WOWOW, but I got a fansub version) and I’m definitely impressed.

    The latest issue of BRUTUS (587) has a feature that tells us to “Be Cool, Be Healthy,” but sports an unfortunate image of President Bush on its cover (lifting weights no less). The piece inside covers health by profiling various celebrities and their health-related activities. PEN (169) takes a look at ecology, or more specifically…
