Unless I wound up a victim of the editor's pen, I should be in Chapter 11, along with some of my mockups.
Wheee! When I lived in San Diego, Leander called me at home and we had a pretty neat interview. I sent him some high-res Illustrator art and gave permission for its use. http://www.macminute.com/2004/08/30/cultofmac That article of his for Wired, "Ersatz Mac Designs" (or whatever it was called), was the jumping point for this chapter. He told me about this book a couple of years ago. Glad to see it finally is seeing daylight! Edit/update: I'm in it! A full two-page spread, no less, of large (4-5 inches) full color mockups of mine, including the lime green LCD iMac G4, the tangerine iCube, the "Street legal" curvy PowerBook G4, etc. And a couple of quotes/comments from me. Mr. Kahney just e-mailed me a pic of the spread he took with his camera phone...and there's my stuff, and big and colorful! I can't wait to get this book!

Kudos, pscates. Same commentary as in the "iMac G5 mockup" thread applies.
I'll get a copy and go straight to your spread in Chapter 13. Absolutely awesome that the "street legal" PowerBook is in there. I so wanted that design to become reality! Escher I've been waiting for a true sub-PowerBook for more than 10 years. The 11-inch MacBook Air finally delivers on all counts! It beats the hell out of both my PowerBook 2400c and my 12-inch PowerBook G4 -- no contest whatsoever. |

I hope you're getting a complementary copy at the very least.

Nah, I wouldn't imagine so. I'm just one small little part of it and everyone else in there isn't getting one, I'd imagine. I've got no problem paying $40 for it. It's exactly the kind of book I've been wishing someone would do, and would buy it anyway whether I was in it or not. No problem at all. Can't wait to get it!
I looked at that sample chapter PDF and it looks pretty cool (talked about keynote/Expo mania and build-up, with photos of people waiting in line, security guards around unveiled display areas, people in various Apple-inspired apparel, geeking out, partying, etc.). Should be a book right up our alley. |

Gosh, Skaitsie, may I have your autograph?
I'm all atwitter at having a celebrity in our midst. And, YES! You *should* get a complimentary copy. Geez. That's the least he could do. I plan to buy the book too. Money well-spent, I say. Hurray! *pounds pscates on back in a highly-enthusiastic and congratulatory manner* *gives hug, and kiss on cheek* |

Is Carol puttin' the mooch on me?
My face...it's all red and warm. And yet another interesting spelling of my name...how does she do it, folks? It's a big book, with more than just me in there (I'm 2 of 280 or so pages). I doubt the author OR the publisher would be big on giving out free copies to everyone in there. This is a niche-appeal book to begin with...if they did that, they wouldn't sell hardly any! |
