DATELINE New York – This just in. New York’s WABC reports about a Star Wars related bus shelter featuring lightsabers encased in glass. “Brilliant” idea, but equally interesting is WABC’s very helpful description of just what Sith is.

The Sith was the devil-like villain who creates Darth Vader and the evil empire.

To all you Mac fans out there (myself included) today’s Macintoshgui.com goodie of the day features some very nice Star Wars icons. Hurry, there’s only a few hours left until there’s another day, another goodie!

It’s interesting that when I search for Star Wars stories to write about, I end up watching Youtube videos. So here’s a cool music video set to Star Wars footage. I’m working on the lyrics. Maybe I’ll post that later.
