I finally got around to watching Memento. Probably one of the more original movies I’ve seen. The ‘gimmick’ of the movie was very well done. An amazing whodunnit turned inside out.
Now I just need to take some time and go through the extras on this DVD, because there are tons.
Sometimes I really wonder if shuffle play is tuned into my head.
Back off to bed for me.
I’ve been using Proteus for the past month or so. I’ve been running the latest betas for 2.0 and really like it. I think it’s definitely the better multi-protocol IM client for OS X. I highly recommend it, the latest version even has tabbed conversations. RC1 of version 2.0 was just released last night. It sounds like his next version will also be targetted for use with OS X 10.2.
This is pretty cool. I’d love to see a similar tool for iTunes.

Hmmm. Maybe I could write something to query my Audiotron and do the same.

I’ve been slowly working my way through the second season of Buffy. It makes me hate them for the crap they put out last season even more. Everything feels so well put together. I’m just watching “Innocence” and listening to Joss’s commentary and realizing this really is one of the best episodes of the series.
One of my online aquaintences has a book coming out within the next few days. Kynn Bartlett’s Sams Teach Yourself Cascading Style Sheets in 24 Hours looks like it will be pretty good (I’ve read a chapter of it already). It’s already on my wish list to pick up.
He’s also got a new page that’s in alpha called Free User Style Sheets for You (aka FUSSY). It’s a site dedicated to providing free user styles for use in Web browsers. User style sheets allow you to see (or experience) the Web as you’d like, not the whims of some Web developer. (I hope he doesn’t mind me linking to it.) It’s a pretty cool idea.

They are now in the process of implimenting RSS in LiveJournal. You can see mine at http://www.livejournal.com/users/gblake/rss if you’d like. Unfortunately, it currently only shows message headers. It looks like they are more interested in making LJ an aggregator though. Or at least that is what they are concentrating on right now.
I have kind of mixed feelings about this. While it’s cool that they are finally supporting RSS, the way they are doing it feels kind of confusing. For instance, it looks like anyone can view your aggregator page, and even make comments on the posts there. So it would be like me republishing Scripting News with comment links.
It appears that USA Today was hacked last night. I wish I could have seen it while the hacks were in place.
