To be fair we've all been working late lately. No, really working! But our rocking frog-obsessed front-end dev has been in Manila this week attempting to infrogulate the Digital Center there with his leet frogginess, and he left his 15 froggies behind, defenceless...

Imagine that you have before you a flagon of wine. You may choose your own favorite vintage for this imaginary demonstration, so that it be a deep shimmering crimson in color. You have two goblets before you. One is of solid gold, wrought in the most exquisite patterns. The other is of crystal-clear glass, thin as a bubble, and as transparent.

For if you have no feelings about wine one way or the other, you will want the sensation of drinking the stuff out of a vessel that may have cost thousands of pounds; but if you are a member of that vanishing tribe, the amateurs of fine vintages, you will choose the crystal, because everything about it is calculated to reveal rather than to hide the beautiful thing which it was meant to contain.
Somehow, it brings to mind these this article as well.
Gahh... now I want this one too. And I have all these games I haven't played yet!
