Uh, guys, you&#8217;re jumping the gun. Just as 2000 was the last year of the 20th century, 2010 is the tenth year of the first decade of the no-longer-new century, not the first of the second decade.<\/p>\n<p>Disappointing musical news: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.animenewsnetwork.com\/news\/2009-12-28\/polysics-vocalist-kayo-to-leave-band-in-2010\">Kayo is leaving Polysics<\/a>. The band apparently will continue to tour and record, but it won&#8217;t be the same without her robotic persona and bleepy synths.

It&#8217;s something like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.native-instruments.com\/#\/en\/products\/producer\/reaktor-5\/\">Reaktor<\/a> for graphic artists: you can download thousands of filters made by other users, or you can roll your own from the tools provided (if you get a fuller version). There are a couple of examples below the fold. Warning: they&#8217;re based on a snapshot of myself, and I am not cute.
