You’d think a media player that took ten years to get to version 1.0 wouldn’t be so ugly and awful to use.

Eh? You just double click on a file and it plays the movie.

Bartlet talks to God after Mrs Landingham’s funeral

Bartlet talks to God after Mrs Landingham’s funeral

I just saw the word "hooplehead" on my Dashboard and now I miss "Deadwood." I'm a fucking hooplehead.

(via inothernews)

For the first three weeks of his life, my son would regularly wake up at 11pm cry till about 2am. He’d sorta doze if I put him in his pram and move it back and forth, so that’s what I did. I’d watch Doctor Who and Deadwood while I rocked the pram.

Perhaps that’s why my son thinks you can do anything with a screwdriver and calls his friends at daycare “San Fransisco cock suckahs”?

Sam's having a bad day

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 21:42:37 +1200

Sam: Ms. O'Brien, I understand your feelings, but please believe me when I tell you that I'm a nice guy having a bad day. I just found out the Times is publishing a poll that says a considerable portion of Americans feel the White House has lost energy and focus. A perception that's not likely to be altered by the video footage of the President riding his bicycle into a tree. As we speak, the Coast Guard is fishing Cubans out of the Atlantic Ocean while the Governor of Florida wants to blockade the Port of Miami. A good friend of mine's about to get fired for going on television and making sense, and it turns out I accidentally slept with a prostitute last night. Now would you please, in the name of compassion, tell me which one of those kids is my boss's daughter?
Mallory: That would be me.
Sam: You.
Mallory: Yes.
Sam: Leo's daughter's fourth-grade class.
Mallory: Yes.
Sam: Well, this is bad on so many levels.

iPhone Nutz

From the product press release: “Show ‘em who’s boss! Available Fall 2009, iPhone Nutz fit any model iPhone, from the puniest to the beefiest. … And if your battery’s low, give ‘em a gentle squeeze for an extra 30 minutes of juice.”

Disgusting.

Chris Onstad invented ballsacks for phones in 2006. I hope he’s getting credit and a crapload of money for this.

CJ finds out about LemonLyman.com

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 21:09:04 +1200

CJ: Let me explain something to you. This is sort of my field. The people on these sites? They're the cast of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest. The muu-muu-wearing Parliament smoker? That's Nurse Ratched. When Nurse Ratched is unhappy, the patients are unhappy. You? You're McMurphy. You swoop in with your card games and fishing trips -
Josh: I didn't swoop in, I came in the exact same way everyone else did.
CJ: Well, now I'm telling you to open the wardroom window and climb on out before they give you a pre-frontal lobotomy and I have to smother you with a pillow.
Josh: [pause] You're...?
CJ: [nodding] I'm Chief Bromden, yes, at this particular moment. I'm assigning an intern from the press office to that website. They're going to check it every night before they go home. If they discover you've been there I'm going to shove a motherboard so far up your ass - What?
Josh: Technically, I outrank you...
CJ: So far up your ass!
Josh: Okay.
CJ: Okay.

Help me organize my music.

I have 45 GB of music in my iTunes library. You may consider that massive or miniscule, but you have to agree it poses a bit of an organizational problem.

I don’t really use the Genre tag; maybe the solution lies there. Maybe I should spend a weekend constructing playlists (but what kind of playlists?). Or maybe you have a better idea.

How do you keep your music library organized?

My advice regarding library organization is always unpopular and always ignored, but hear me out here: delete most of your music.

This works for me, because I have a specific way of listening to music, and may not work so well for other people, but at least give it a chance. If you’re like me, you don’t listen to most of your music very regularly. In fact, you tend to have ~5-8 albums on constant rotation, switching one in and another out every week or so. Thus, if you’re like me, you don’t need that much music in your iTunes library. Anything that isn’t a regular listen? Delete it. Don’t back it up, don’t archive it somewhere, don’t give it any funny smart playlist-referenced tags, just fucking delete it.

iTunes isn’t suited to huge libraries of music. After a certain point, depending on your computer’s specifications, it will start taking longer and longer to launch, you’ll see more of that “Loading iTunes library” bar, and iTunes will become hell to use.

I agree with “just fucking delete it” to a certain extent. And, actually,iTunes can be very helpful with this objective with ratings and smart lists. I have have a few “not played since…” lists and a “least played but high rated” list and I use those to re-evaluate and cull tracks.

As for the iTunes performance thing - my library is almost 7000 items and about 33GB. It’s running on a 4 year old iMac G5 and it goes great guns. None of that loading library stuff that Nostrich mentioned.

C.J.: There's no way you're letting me walk out the door, so what is it we're doing?
Simon: I'm sorry?
C.J.: What's your plan for me?
Simon: I don't have a plan.
C.J.: Are you gonna let me drive myself home?
Simon: No. [holding up something] I've got your spark plug. Is that what you meant?
C.J.: You've got my spark plug?
Simon: And your battery. Fuel pump, starter relay, timing belt, the ignition fuse. And well also the engine, I guess.
C.J.: Did you leave me anything?
Simon: Wiper fluid. You can clean your windshield. No, actually, you need the battery.

Bon Jovi : Wanted Dead Or Alive

This is the best Bon Jovi song. If you disagree, I’m sorry, but you’re wrong.

That part where he says “I’ve seen a million faces… and I rocked ‘em all”… chills.

P.S. The “steel horse” he rides on is his motorcycle.

THIS IS THE TRUTH!
