			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://gigapple.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/openmind.jpg?w=490&#038;h=218" alt="" title="openmind" width="490" height="218"  class=" alignleft" /></p>
<p>Do you consider yourself a geek? Now how about a hardcore geek? And since you&#8217;re reading The Apple Blog, clearly you&#8217;re a Hardcore Mac Geek (assuming you answered yes to the preceding questions). Check, check, and check. Great! So this post is aimed squarely at you!  (Apologies for the pre-interview. The contents beyond this point are what you might call, &#8220;niche&#8221;.)</p>
<p>Graphic artist, Christopher David Ryan made <a href="http://www.mylittleunderground.net/products/commands/index.htm">these great prints</a>, utilizing the &#8216;Apple&#8217;, or &#8216;Command&#8217; key references made popular in OS X.  You can purchase the set of three (as 5&#215;7 inch prints) for $12 if you&#8217;re so inclined.  Personally, I&#8217;d hold out for poster size rather than the smallish 5&#215;7 prints, but that&#8217;s just me.  Either way, I like the idea, and it&#8217;s a great composition in my book.</p>
<p>Side note: If you didn&#8217;t immediately recognize what the prints were meant to read as, please hand in your &#8216;Hardcore Mac Geek&#8217; card before leaving.</p>
