Dude, so OMG (JK, LOL) et al.


Presidential hopefuls notwithstanding, Kaplan may have topped the chart for the lamest myspace friend ever*.

All LOL's aside, this is pretty much an ad for Kaplan's new line of ipod based test prep materials -- which led me to wonder if there's a point where some of us academic design types will have to start making interfaces for ipod course guides. Or how about campus maps? The 2009 catalog?

Maybe I'm just jealous because Kaplan has 960 more friends than I do, but designing for ipods sounds like kind of a drag.

*While Kaplan is by far the worst, on the other end of the spectrum Gabe Kaplan could be the best friend you'll ever have.
