This is so freaking cool, and I don’t even care about the code behind it.
Make sure you watch the YouTube video.

Maddening dining
So… tell me if I’m being unreasonable here. And don’t just say “yes” out of reflex.
Rachel and I were at dinner at a small cafe/wine bar near the apartment, and we had been there for about forty-five minutes, not being overly slow, but not rushing either. We were in the middle of a row of three two-person tables, and the people to my left paid and left. Then three really annoying, loud guys sat down, and the people to my right left. A few minutes later, the hostess came over and asked us to move over to the empty table to make room for more people in the obnoxious party, even though we were still eating— almost done, but still.
Is that normal? Or acceptable? We filled out a comment card and left $6 on a $37 check (but I felt bad about that part— it’s not really the waitress’s fault). If they don’t e-mail back, I’m going to make sure the manager knows. I’ve never had that happen before, and I don’t think it happens that often.
I really like this place, so I don’t want to boycott. I just want an apology… and maybe a gift card. Oh yeah… and someone to tell me that I should be mad.
MacBook of Love
The new MacBook (i.e., updated iBook) was released today. Looks pretty sweet.
Another ghost town
Oh man… I can’t believe how long it’s been since I posted.
Please accept my humble apologies— it’s been a crazy time moving to a new apartment and starting the video store up for the summer.
More later.
“A rebel alliance”
Now Is the Time for a Left-Right Alliance. I’m game, if it gets things done.
I’m surprised to hear this out of a right-winger. I’ve been saying this stuff for years: why don’t real conservatives hate BushCo?
Real Han is back
What the hell? Is Lucifer breaking out his electric blanket?
Argh… and now I can’t believe I own a version of Star Wars where Greedo shoots first.
May 4, 1970
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We’re finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.
“Achoo!”
Sweet. Apple posted their new commercials. The “PC” guy is John Hodgman, a writer and one of the new Daily Show correspondents, and is pretty hilarious there too.
But at what FPS?
And you know some teenager is going to link to it in his LiveJournal and say how “wicked” it would be to play Half-Life on it.
(It would, of course. But for the technical aspect, not the eye-watering hugeness of it.)
