Rockstar is to games as Apple is to computers There's something special that separates the ordinary from the incredible. It's hard to place your finger on it because it isn't really something you can explain, but you know it when you see it. This is the feeling you get when using most any Apple product and is what separates the iPhones, Macbooks, iPads and iPods from your Dells and HPs of the world.

Friday Freeday: HTML5 Snake Game I've been wanting to start doing Friday Freeday for sometime now, but I kept pushing it back due to my recent workload.
