Beauty and Testosterone and God and Zen - Apr 17, 08

If you can remove judgment from the way you observe and experience the world,
wouldn't beauty become an objective observation, and would not all things be beautiful? more...

Adding an extra ip to loopback - Apr 30, 08
Here’s something that I’ve needed to do on occasion. Mostly to give additional IPs for ssh tunneling. I’ve used this mostly on my MacBook, but I’m sure it works in any linux based environment. sudo ifconfig lo0 add 127.0.10.10 I’ve pulled this down many times from many places on the web. This time around [...]
Random Desktop Background Rotation on a Mac - Apr 29, 08
You’re supposed to be able to do this already. But unless I’m losing my mind, it looks like the implementation for random desktop background images does not work the same as random screensaver images. Specifically the random screensaver image selection recursively looks through the folder you select as the image source, while the [...]
Migrating From Microsoft Outlook to Mac Applications - Dec 22, 07
I’ve been using Microsoft Office since the late 90s and have a ton of information in it that needs to be migrated. Email, tasks, calendar events, contacts and notes all need to be moved and preserved. There are a number of options for moving each content type to a Mac app.  In the [...]

Angel-A

On paper this film sounds like it will suck. A loser at the end of his rope meets a beautiful girl who wants to show him that he has worth and must learn to love himself,... blah blah blah. BUT Angel-A is not nearly as bad as it could/should be. It does have a couple of touching moments, its a visually beautiful film and Rie Rasmussen is one of the most stunningly, painfully beautiful women on the face of the planet.
Tekkon Kinkreet

Beautiful, artistic, surprisingly good. Don't let the happy looking dvd cover fool you. Deep interesting characters, dark themes and lots of action make this both fun, and not for the kids.
Out of the Past

I love noir, and this is a CLASSIC. Day or night everyone is wearing a suit or an evening gown, everyone is witty, and someone is about to get or give a smackdown. This is one of the better ones. Great cast (Mitchum, Greer and Douglas), great story, great dialog. If you like noir you've gotta check this out.
