Finally saw 'The Invasion' -- wasn't too bad. It seemed more Puppetmasters than Bodysnatchers, though. The 1978 version is still the best.

Reclaimed my long-lost iTools username. Thank-you Apple, for recycling dead .mac accounts. My passwd was too strong and my hint too cryptic!

DVRs that save recordings of channels they don't receive make me question the sanity of the programmers. And the survival of the human race.

It used to be that every web developer eventually wrote their own blogging engine. I believe that Bug Trackers are becoming the new blogs.

It is five A.M. and the kid next door is desperately trying to convince his Volkswagon Golf to run for longer than thirty seconds at a time.

10 years ago, Mac users felt threatened and argued with Windows users. Today the Windows users are _louder_, yet the Mac users ignore them.

Oh, AMC, why do you even bother showing 'Christine' if you are going to completely cut out the memorable lines? Seems kinda pointless to me.

Okay, how the hell did I miss the existence of the outset and inset border-styles in CSS21? I've wasted too much time on silly color tricks.

No monkey lasers? And no poison darts? Damn you, Scott brothers! Not even Days of Thunder can save your reputations now... all remakes suck.

Government conspiracies and friggin wormholes?! Way to screw up a damn good story Scott brothers. You are so lucky you have Alien & Top Gun.

I am old enough to remember when Caps Lock was a global, rather than per keyboard. And that means I TYPE LIKE THIS every six months or so.

CakePHP has made a lot of progress in the last 6 months (or they just got around to fully documenting 1.2). I almost wish I could stand PHP.

And it goes without saying that every single text editor sucks, excepting TextMate, BBEdit, emacs, and vi. Because, let's face it, they do.

Tweaked my copy of TextMate's Python bundle to properly recognize the != operator. TextMate's Bundles > BBEdit's Language Modules. IMHO

Why yes, randomly generated spam e-mail, I _am_, in fact, a proud man with huge dignity. Thank-you very much for recognizing that about me.

Page 28 of the June 2008 Mac|Life magazine claims the numeric keypad module of the Apple Adjustable Keyboard didn't really exist. Pathetic.

When did Apple start selling the Mac Pro RAID Card as an after-market upgrade? This makes me a whole lot happier. Mmm.... hardware RAID 5.
