Somewhere out in space live...The Herculoids!

About Me


Hello there. I am Dr. Macenstein, lead evil scientist over at Macenstein.com ,

a Mac-Enthusiat website chock full of Mac-related news, humor, rumors and reviews. Together with my unholy assistants Lab Rat, Helper Monkey, Brain-in-a-Jar, iGor, and the lovely Bride of Macenstein, we search the web daily for bits of Mac news and gossip, and piece it together into an unholy monster of a site.

My Interests

As an Evil Mac Scientist, I am always looking for new ways to take over the world using Apple's latest technology, so I am into all things Macintosh; MacBooks, iPods, Mac Pros, iMacs, etc... even the Xserve. (OK, even I'M not into the Xserve...)
I enjoy pretty much ALL evil technology...Robots, death rays, jet packs, robo-ninjas, flyng cars, flying death ray robot ninja cars, Pretty much anything gadgety and geeky.
Anything animated, cartoons, comics, etc....
Video Games: XBox, PS3, Civilization III and IV (Mac, of course...)
I'm also into graphic design, and use Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and Alias Maya quite a bit.

I'd like to meet:

This Guy
