An Operation of Words
April 20th, 2006
Yes, it’s time for yet another edition of Wired Magazine to hit the stands.
In the May edition of the mag (which hit streets today), yours truly came up with the ultimate artifact from the future for the back page of the mag — a futuristic version of the classic Hasbro game Operation. Wonder what a game like that might challenge you to take out of a futuristic human? Well, look no further.
Now go out and buy the magazine so you can read the articles.
I’m quite fond of the sms thumbs. My own thumbs have evolved from nintendo thumbs to blackberry thumbs… Darwin would be proud!

Any of those look a lot easier to extract than that damn writer’s cramp in the old version.

Very nice! Gotta get me one of those!

You almost wonder why Hasbro “hasn’t” come out with an updated version of this game. That would be great.

Did you do the art too? Looks really snazzy.

I always thought the ipod was going to be implanted in the breast. The nipple already provides the click-wheel interface, n’est pas?

Swede - Nope. Wired takes care of the visuals, while I come up with the ideas, write the text, etcetera.
