December 2009
I know I'm like 5 years behind, but...
…Half-Life 2 is awesome! It came out in 2004, but the graphics are still incredible.
Just when I'm beginning to feel a little bit...
…I open up the Zune app. What the hell is that thing?
Windows 7 is pretty good, but...
Why does Microsoft still not understand how to handle text and fonts?
I love/hate the Apple Knowledge Base →
I love that there is a file for your most obscure issue, but at the same time, you always find a key piece of information after spending twenty minutes to an hour pulling your hair out. Seriously… how the hell was I supposed to know you couldn’t just convert the partition!?
How I've spent the last few hours:
Bought Windows 7 Upgrade
Tried to install Windows XP with Bootcamp
Was told that I couldn’t partition
Defragged my Hard Drive (yeah, I didn’t know you could do that either)
Repaired Disk with Disk Utility
Installed XP
Upgraded to Windows 7
Avatar Review
My eyes hurt.
Jhonen Vasquez has a Twitter →
OK, maybe Twitter is good for something.
Just noticed Hulu also has Peep Show →
and Spaced. Apparently someone there likes British television.
Leaving out articles makes you sound stupid. Unless you are writing sentence like that one.
Every episode of Black Books is on Hulu →
You’re welcome.
wow
I unintentionally made myself very happy…
Tom Ford and A Single Man
“This is Tom Ford’s only and first movie. He’s done a lot of fashion stuff that I don’t know, but I heard him interviewed by Terry Gross on Fresh Air today. It’s getting really good reviews, but the interview was incredibly creepy. Something about hearing Terry Gross talk about nudity in advertising was chilling, for lack of a better word. Regardless, the movie...
Sugar on a Stick - Blueberry →
Sugar Labs (the people behind the original OS for OLPC’s XO) has just release a new version of Sugar on a Stick. To be honest, I think Sugar is a terrible designed OS, but I’m going to test this new version on VirtualBox anyway.

Quiet nights are the only time I enjoy snow in New York.
I always enjoy snow.
Panic Blog →
Panic Software has an awesome new blog.
Boxee Beta is damn sexy →
I’ll let you read about it on the Boxee blog, but basically Boxee just dropped the awesome with Boxee Beta. I loved the concept of Boxee before, but the UI wasn’t very good. The new version is like AppleTV on steroids (that’s a good thing).
Closing my dhs.org account
fascinated:
About 9 years ago, when I first got my hands on a 384Kbps DSL (SDSL, even!) line, after playing around with Napster, I started to run a linux web server from my room off a 486, pretty much just like you’d expect.
Another thing I did then is register a dhs.org dynamic hostname to point to my server, in case the IP address changed (it didn’t, actually). I went with dhs.org because it...
Favrd is gone. →
Great goodbye message.
Oeuvre my dead body

The guy who made this made this. What a world.
Wow. Did Death at a Funeral really need an “African Americanized” (not my phrase, that’s what Wikipedia called it) remake?
Website Address
I’ve used bengold.tv as my web address for a long time, and it’s always bothered me. The first issue is that people don’t believe .tv is a real TLD. They’ve heard of .com, .net, .org, .edu, and .gov, and they can handle it when you through a common country code TLD at them like .co.jp, .co.uk or .ca, but .tv seems crazy. Who the hell has heard of Tuvalu? They other issue I...

awesome! Though, I’m am quite fond of Dictionary.app
OK...
So apparently I’m buying a new iPhone…
I suppose it is about time… I dropped my iPhone about a month or so ago and have had to pretend I didn’t notice the chipped glass screen…
iPhone
Tumblr, should I replace my iPhone 3G with a 3GS when I’m eligible for an upgrade in a week?
