Ugly swarms
- Idea: why don’t the lids of those two-part plastic take-out sushi containers have little wells for soy sauce built into the top? Seems obvious, but I googled around couldn’t find any made that way.
- Kris was here in LA filming the Spike Scream awards, and we were able to hang out a little, which was great. Just wanted the world to know! Also, permanently changed an element of my preparation of puttanesca: hazelnuts instead of capers.
- Weird Al & the Beastie Boys on their first trip to LA:
- So I, uh, heard some things about the retail version of Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard - with Spaces, when you switch from one application in space a to another in space b, the window system does this kind of speed wipe from one space to the next which is kind of dizzying. The 3D dock is really ugly; it looks like glass covered with a thin sheen of cum. (Although you can fix it.) Also ugly: the debossed system icons. Spotlight still sucks; Cover Flow sucks, Stacks suck. Everything else is great: things feels faster, the consistency of the UI is a big relief, Spaces is great, Quickview is great.
