MacBook Decoration
So I had been toying with the idea of getting my unibody MacBook etched for quite a while. I had my artwork all picked out. But then I lost my nerve. Although I have no plans to sell my MacBook anytime soon, I may want to sell her someday. Etching my laptop will most likely completely ruin the resale value. So I decided against etching.
Instead I had a custom decal of the artwork made....
just got home from class… have decided to make myself a drink ;)

*Cinema -- RocknRolla
RocknRolla (2008)
Liked it much more than I thought I would.
Gerard Butler is charming as hell.
So were his two friends, Mumbles and Handsome Bob… just loved all three of them.
Idris Elba plays Mumbles. You may know him better as Stringer Bell on The Wire. Best guy in The Wire, also one of the best guys in RocknRolla.
You have to love a movie that names a character Handsome Bob.

Automatic Tr.im URL Shortening & Click Tracking...
The guys who make one of my favorite applications, TextExpander, posted a great tip a while back to automatically shorten urls that are on the clipboard with the tr.im service.
It works wonderfully, except there is no way to track how many people click your shortened urls because you’re not logged into your tr.im account when the urls are shortened. There is a crazy easy way to log in to...

Little Changes
Its not terribly interesting, but I’ve made a couple of very little changes to the site…
I finally updated my install of Django from pre-1.0 to 1.0.2. Feels good! Though really anyone else shouldn’t notice any difference. I’m really starting to look forward to Django 1.1!
The tree branches that go all the way down the page on the left side now alternate colors…...

Life Season One
I find it hard to believe Crews really believes much of the crap he says, but he certainly is a decent person and a good cop.
Ted is also a great character to offset Crews. How that guy ever committed illegal acts is beyond me.
Stark, Crews’ previous partner, is an interesting character. He seems like such a cool guy while also being rather creepy at the same time. He also always seems to...

Recent Mac Finds
I’ve been trying to be good about saving my pennies, but I must admit that I’ve still purchased a couple pieces of Mac software recently…
ShoveBox
I finally bought this great notes app. I’m very picky about my note applications. The simpler, the better. I think I will always be a Notational girl at heart. I can really write a whole post on different Mac note apps. To...

Watchmen (2009)
Yup, it was awesome.
Wasn’t nearly as dark as I expected.
Jeffery Dean Morgan really did a great job.
Malin Akerman must have one of the most distinctive voices on the planet. I just couldn’t get her character from 27 Dresses out of my head. Made it hard for me to take her seriously.
I spent the entire time trying to figure out why Carla Gugino looked so...

The Wire Seasons One & Two
Season one was superbly done. Season two was also great.
Season one was just so intense. Season two was a bit less intense, I think its simply because the pace of the season was a bit slower.
The parts that upset you really upset you. It can be just plain difficult to watch.
Griggs, McNulty, Bunk, Freeman, Daniels, D’angelo and Omar… just awesome, awesome characters.
The amount of...
