BSG Corners: A theory

bsg.jpg I have a theory. One of the production designers for the new Battlestar Galactica opened a shipment from Amazon, looked at the cardboard backing of their shrink-wrapped order, and went, “hum, I could do something with that.” ETA: in the comments, Joe D says that BSG producer Ron Moore slipped in the clipped corners as a reference to the optimizations they made to make the miniseries on a limited budget.

    IMDB says “Paper in the series have corners cut off. It is said that director Michael Rymer did this during the miniseries as a reference to how he had to “cut corners” financially to make the miniseries work on a limited budget.”

    Google Adsense just announced a few new options for rounded corners in various forms of roundedness.

    You will know that Web 3.0 has arrived when Adsense has a BSG corners option.

    arrrr,
