I believe a new form of subliminal message has been discovered. Actually, it’s no so much subliminal as just constantly right there, but using the icons on your dock to spell stuff out is pretty slick. Or nerdy. I can’t decide. If only there were a word that combined those two things… other than my own name.

Wait, there’s a stroke of genius coming. I can feel it… yes… on the next season of 24, Jack Bauer will pass a message to CTU (or whoever he’s working for these days… Neo-China) by rearranging the icons on his captor’s iPhone. I really should be in TV, don’t you think?
