Law and Order, May 15th, really?

Couldn't let this gaffe slide. The detectives are confronting a reluctant witness outside wearing winter coats and their breath is visible. The next scene in the courtroom shows the witness on the stand, the text right before that states, "TRIAL PART 29 TUESDAY, MAY 15". Later in the show it's snowing, in the middle of May? According to this site there is no way it was snowing on that day. I'm pretty familiar with that date, it's my birthday and I don't ever recall it snowing on my birthday, not in the US anyway, maybe in the Southern Hemisphere. Pretty sure this is a re-run...

Leopard arrived

I got my copy of Leopard at work today. Such a pretty box, Apple should win an award for packaging design. It installed in under 3 hours, I didn't time it, but I started the upgrade after 7 pm and it finished well before 10 pm. So far no problems other than having to reconfigure my wireless security, was on WEP and couldn't get it to connect, now on WAP and all is well. Safari is fast, think it'll be my default browser from now on, Notes in Mail don't show on my iPhone, will have to figure that out...Cover flow view in the finder is pretty neat, I can see what all that junk is on my desktop without opening the files first. Boot Camp Assistant let me delete my Windows partition, that alone was worth the 40 some bucks I paid for Leopard.

When did Boing Boing go 2.0?

Hadn't visited Boing Boing for a while until today, and didn't recognize it. When the heck did that site get redesigned? If Boing Boing goes all 2.0 maybe I should think about a redesign myself, perhaps a total conversion to a different blog dealy-bop like WordPress.

Dot.Tunes support, nice guy

Had a live chat with a Dot.Tunes person earlier tonight, got lots of hmmms when describing my problem. I think it's a server timeout thing or something like that, but it seems to get worse as time goes on... I'm not a programmer, I'll give any info needed to the dudes so it'll work like it should. Like I told the support guy Jeff, Apple should've enabled the ability to stream iTunes to the iPhone from the product launch.

Dot.Tunes Don't work for me....

Pissed off, paid 20 bucks and it's not working. I want all my iTunes available on my iPhone, not just the 4 gigs it came with. Dot.tunes looks like it puts a webserver on your puter and tricks the iPhone to think they are movies and not songs....Not sure how it all works or why it doesn't for me yet...Share Your iTunes Library Remotely.

Etymotic Research, Inc. - For X-Mas

I need some good headphones. The Apple ones fall out of my ears, need something that actually shoves into the ear canal and won't come out with a slight tug. So I'm liking the Etymotic 6isolator for my X-Mas gift. Just a heads up to any family members that might read this blog. Don't think Mom does, or Dad. I know Neph does. Wendy?

Wild Hogs, the suck or not?

I really wanted to hate this movie. Tim Allen, Travolta, Martin Lawrence, H. Macy, all together on motorcycles, suck fest. Not true, the first half hour sucks but after that I got into the story. Macy is the best part of the movie. He gets an Apple tat, the rainbow Apple logo. There must've been gay jokes they cut out of the movie based on the rainbow Apple tat. The Sklar brothers were terrific, worth a rental. Netflix: Wild Hogs

Leopard comes out October 26th

With 300 plus new features I couldn't resist spending my iPhone credit by pre-ordering the new version of OSX. My final bill came to only $40.10. Heck of a lot cheaper than even the cheapest variant of Vista. The new OS X would've even worked on the iBook that I gave away, no upgrades needed. Leopard countdown page.

Oh, and comments are working in a very limited way. I can read them, nobody else can, which is a problem that may or may not be resolved. Yes, stalking is possible.

Edit: Comments are fully functional again, special thanks to my nephew for his help.

ReEdit: Almost fully functional, after adding a comment it goes back to the main page...didn't notice that, there we go. Fully functional again.

SNL Iran So Far

If they won't let it be on YouTube or on their official site, people need to be able to get it. Thank the non-existent lord for torrents. Demonoid.com - SNL Iran So Far - Andy Samberg - Adam Levine- 720p - WMV. Sucks that it's WMV.

So much dog hair

Do pugs ever stop shedding? Sheesh, hair everywhere. Staying at my folks place for who knows how long and they've got a couple of pugs. I would think that in the cold weather they'd keep as much hair as possible. Maybe when it gets colder.

"My Vote Doesn't Count"

Dummy at work told me that today. He voted, but didn't vote for president, just local elections. All because of the electoral college system we have, his lame state of Idaho only has 4. He claims that he hates the electoral college system and would rather that the popular vote would prevail. Hey dummy, you didn't vote for president, so yours didn't count period. Obama won the popular vote as well.

Transformers Blu-Ray

The movie still sucks, but it looks a lot better in Blu-Ray. I will say that you can sort of tell the bad guys from the good guys in the higher def version. Viewing the DVD version I couldn't really follow the action, or tell which robot was which. To be honest I was catching up on email and stuff during the heavy CGI scenes. Just wanted to see what's her name in a belly shirt and short skirt in high def.

I like hating coworkers

I've seen that people take credit for my work. Not difficult work, took me 15 minutes or less to do it, squeezed it out before I left on Friday. Emailed the result of my work to the coworker that requested it. Subsequently read an email where that coworker claimed that they created it, they may have edited it, but don't take full credit. Just gives me more reason to hate on folk. This particular coworker couldn't have created it ever. Best to move on if able. Will be with some folk this weekend that might have some options.

Kristen Wiig of SNL had a nose job

It's obvious. Why even debate it? If you look at Kristen Wiig's nose in "Walk Hard" and how it looks on the most recent episodes of SNL, it's clear that she had a nose job. I personally think she looks better.

AHHH, Sick of these political ads

WTF does "opposed defending marriage" mean? Does that mean he or she thinks homos should be able to get married? Fucking christians need to learn that America isn't a theocracy yet. Are there any non-religious congresspersons or senators?

Ok, might do some work on the broke dick iPhone

I just bought a new glass screen and tools to replace it off eBay. Shit is coming from Hong Kong. Why do they call it 2G? That 2G stuff confuses me. Anyway, even if it's the wrong size it was only around 14 bucks. Isn't the 3G iPhone the second generation? They claim it fits a 4 gig iPhone, so that would be a first generation iPhone.

iPhone glass replacement. Worth it?

A local company can replace the busted glass screen on my iPhone for "... $65 (parts), $10.88 Shipping, and $35 labor...", so hmm, math, let's see 110.88. Cheaper than sending it back to Apple. Too bad I don't have some other phone lying around I could put the sim card into during the repair time. They say 5-10 days turnaround. Would they need to have my iPhone the whole time? Need to find out what it would cost to get out of my ATT contract. Then go T-Mobile and G1, depending on what it costs to dump ATT. Although, I'm liking an App on the iPhone called GasHog that helps you track how many miles per gallon you get, and what the fuel costs per mile.

That G1 looks goofy, has no standard headphone jack, doesn't play video, not truly open thanks to T-Mobile, has a 2 year contract like ATT.

Fuck it, I'm stuck. Maybe I'll get the 3G iPhone instead and sell the busted one to help offset the cost. I'll have to make sure to take blurry pictures of it.

Got my used / refurbished Apple TV

It was very easy to setup the first 3 times. Why 3 times? Well, I'm trying to use Boxee on it and that requires some work, not really, but I tried it over again when samba wasn't working. Still need some work to get samba shares to load. All the iTunes stuff works great, I can stream any media in my iTunes library fine, movies I've bought, podcasts, music I've bought. What I really want is samba shares to work. That will involve some ssh and ftp work. NitoTV may be the answer. Not a novice to ssh or ftp so I'm not scared about it, just too late in the day to tackle it tonight.

BTW: Never knew I could boot from a USB card reader.

BTW 2: The 2.2 Apple TV update included 1080p.
