Dear Blowhards --

Arriving in my mailbox yesterday was this gorgeous set of nonsense brackets:

So nonsense brackets have now made it onto the cover of not just any magazine, but of MacHome -- surely one of the squarest of all publications known to mankind. Hmmm. Maybe that's a sign that nonsense brackets are on their way out. But I suppose it's just as likely to be a sign that they're now firmly established as a standard part of our visual lexicon.

I love MacHome, by the way: tips and advice for the interested dumdum ...

Best,

Michael

Tut, tut Michael. Anything with Mac in its name, by definition, cannot be square.

Very true, tks. Phew -- almost lost my Mac cool there. Though MacHome is so mom-and-pop that the coolness can be easy to forget ...

I was the editor of MacHome a decade ago. We certainly thought of our audience as much more mom-and-pop than hipsters [who had macaddict].

Look - brackets!

Ever since you brought up this bracket thing, I've been seeing it all the time... everywhere...
