If you’re running Mac OSX, you might be interested in a Register article about the real differences between Cocoa and Carbon and why rewriting the Finder isn’t necessarily a good idea.

It’s a horrible thing to contemplate, but I have to admit that I was morbidly curious about how she did it. I mean, I’m sure that by the age of five I would’ve known what it means to be “dead.” (I’ve got memories of nightmares as evidence.) Did she start with the young ones, or…

Sad day. John Lee Hooker (who I always think of singing outside the Soul Food Cafe in “The Blues Brothers”) and Carroll O’Connor (aka Archie Bunker) have passed away.

HA! Do you have a personal site? You should do the 2001.DESIGNER.SITE.CHKLST. It’ll analyze your design and tell you how much of a wanker you are. And it’s so funny (in a web design, nerdy kinda way) that I spewed Coke out my nose.

A Korean theater hit called “Cookin’” is coming to the U.S. “The show… features the high-tempo slicing of four chefs who have an hour to prepare a glorious wedding banquet.” They do comedy and use their utensils as percussion implements. It’s like “The Iron Chef” meets “Tap Dogs”! They don’t mention who gets to eat…

New Poll: In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve implemented a new database-driven polling system that allows me to save poll results. So starting from today, all polls will be archived here. For our first topic, I’ve chosen the age-old question of “Who’s better: Britney or Christina?”. Please register your answer (and reasoning!) over at the…

Can you place this quote? Oh, he’s very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads–they all adore him. They think he’s a righteous dude. Of course you can. Brigita found a great story about the enduring popularity of the film. The best part is that Edie McClurg, who played Grace,…
