Gunnar Optiks – For those that abuse their eyes

Shea Dog - Perscription - Gunnars

For the people who are lucky enough to read and not hear this, congratulations on having working eyes. We all take our eyes for granted, especially us nerds and geeks. For the computer programming or hacking geeks, you don’t mind staring at a screen full of code and text for hours on end. For you hardcore video gamers, you don’t mind drying out your eyes because blinking is for noobs and that fraction of a second can mean a disastrous and maybe embarrassing headshot. And for the web and graphic designers, you tend to get so close to the screen because you’re either using a touchscreen Wacom or you need to zoom in virtually as well as physically.

Yes. We are eye abusers and we just let it happen cause most people think regular prescription glasses or contacts will help. Sure, they help, but have you noticed sometimes that your eyes still dry out, you get headaches at the end of a long day of gaming, designing, or coding?

Steve Jobs taking medical leave until June

steve_jobs_photos

TheStreet.com is reporting that Steve Jobs is going to take a medical leave of absence until June.  In a letter, Steve said “the curiosity over my personal health continues to be a distraction not only for me and my family, but everyone else at Apple as well. In addition, during the past week I have learned that my health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought.”

Since 2004, people have already been speculating that Steve would step down due to medical issues.  Signs of his health deteriorating have become more evident recently. Also, not stepping on the MacWorld stage as the Keynote speaker have made people believe in these speculations.  And now there are even more rumors of Steve stepping down as the CEO of Apple.

We here at PG just hope the best for Steve and his family.  He has given us so many innovations that not only work great, but look great too.  Hang in there buddy!
