Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Do we really need a remake of Walking Tall? The next question of course is, do they plan to remake the other two?

I haven’t had a ton of time for watching lately, but Darla and I recently watched episodes 9, 10, 11, and 12 of ROD the TV.

Yow. Things have really heated up — they’re playing hardball now. I’m very curious to see how things go from here.

I won’t say any more right now, other than “don’t watch episode 9 with your mom.”

Or any other firewire camera. Freeverse now has announced Toysight, which is a way to play certain games using your camera. I tried out the demo and it is pretty cool (though I’d think you look pretty stupid playing them). I was kind of amazed at how well some of the things worked. First you start up the game and it scans what it can see, then you step in front of the camera and as you move your hands a cursor will follow it. They’ve got a few kinds of controls you can use on the screen, like a slider bar. They even have a movie of it in action. Pretty keen.

Though I think it would be harder to sneak in a quick game of Marble Factory while at work.

A while back Leo Laporte posted about making a new Dial-A-Song for They Might Be Giants. Yesterday he posted that it is just about done and that he hopes to be able to deliver it in time for Christmas. Rock! It sounds like a pretty neat setup.

I’ve been in a tired and cranky mood for the last few days. Last night I finally decided to go to sleep early and see if I could sleep off the cranky. First, at around 1:30 the power went out. How do I know this? Because there’s a box out in the hall that starts beeping when the power goes out and it woke me up (normally the UPS would wake me up, but I need to get a new battery for it). Luckily the power came back on in a few minutes. But then it took me forever to fall back asleep again, only to be woken up at 5:20 by bright lights flashing from the fire truck that pulled up outside. This seems to happen every month or so. I’m not sure what building they are going to, but I’ve seen it very often. So, in the end I haven’t gotten enough sleep, and think I may and try for a 45 minute catnap right now. Bah.

Via Adam Curry, Jamie Oliver has got a blog now too, I think I’ll be subscribing to this one (there’s an RSS feed too).

A month or so ago I was trying to figure out how to have OS X automatically mount a share. I asked a bunch of Mac geeks I know and nobody knew if it was possible. Today I was talking with Ellen and she provided the answer. First mount the share you want to automount. Then fire up System Preferences and go to Accounts. Select your account and click on the ‘Startup Items’ tab. It will list programs to run when you log in. If you click ‘+’ you can also add in a mounted share. That’s it! Next time you log in it will mount that share. Woohoo!

I love Lenore. It is such a wonderfully twisted comic book. And thanks to gregory07 over on LJ I found a whole bunch of Lenore flash animations. And the first one is possibly my favorite Lenore comic too! (Broken!)
