Today in Joystiq: January 1, 2008

Yeah, we know, we already used this image for our totally tubular top 10 of 2007 awards earlier today but, to be honest with you all (and why now, you're always honest with us), we just can't stop staring at it. It's beautiful! And we have Joystiqer Yann Duminil to thank for that. The most astute amongst you may also recognize Yann's handiwork on display on our ball of 'stiqs t-shirts and, if you've been unfortunate enough to meet one of us in person, our business cards. So, to all the 'Stiqers out there (but especially to Yann), have a super-great 2008.

Love,
Joystiq
