Are you an Apple-ista? yes and not-so-much.
By definition I am in fact an Apple-ista, but I’d like to formally request here and now that all writers/bloggers/etc. chill out on adding the –ista onto everything. It’s lazy labeling, and even lazier writing. This weekend I peeled back the pages of Fast Company magazine, the one with Boom Jobs on the cover, and was immediately greeted with the term, which I immediately began to hate on, and continue to hate on now, 36 hours later. If everything is ista-ized, then the ista isn’t really necessary. And I actually don’t even think –ista is legit, I’m pretty sure we’re talking about –ist here, and for the record, that’s not cool either. Cut it out. Or better yet, think different.
What do all you design-istas think?

For us artists and designers, isn’t it all about the ‘isms not the ‘istas anyway … ?
It gives everything that tasty epochal framing with the ego stuff and with a dash of political intrigue.
wow.
I’m thinking different already

Certainly a sin-ista plot! I’ve enjoyed checking out your blog for the first time. Looking forward to reading on a regular basis. Loved the tiger concept from the Boeing plane!
