The Matias Tactile Pro is not only an "old school" keyboard for the Mac, but with the press of a button it becomes a keyboard which will type on your iPhone. Sweet - I do a lot of typing here on my Mac Pro and will get texts or whatnot from friends.

$200, though? Bah. I'd take one as a gift, but then again I think anyone spending $200 on a gift could spend it better, too.

I'm pretty happy with the simple aluminum keyboard I've got. I guess I'm not the keyboard snob some other people are.

Aha! I've finally figured out why MarsEdit will sometimes post something as "today" when I change the date to a few days ago.

Here are the steps:

1. cmd-opt-L¹
2. Tab, type the number "3" (changing "8" to "3" for the date)
3. Press enter or return.

The problem? The cell doesn't end editing so the date never changes from "8" to "3." I'd imagine it's possible to send an "end editing" message when the "Set Date" button is pressed, but maybe calendar widgets don't give you that chance. I imagine they do.

The work-around for now is to hit tab once more after changing the date, then press return.

I'm now solidly in the "Will Buy a New Mac Pro when They're Announced" camp.

580+ days and counting.

C'mon, Apple. I'm not buying an iMac.

The Five Training Rules as posted by Caleb Masland at DailyMile are:

1. Missed Workouts are gone. NO MAKE-UPS.
2. If you are debating whether or not you need a rest day, then you need a rest day¹.

Train at your current level, not your ideal level².

3. Aerobic Fitness > Numbers from a Track Workout.
4. One Thing at a Time.

I know it's just a Wednesday, and making Leap Day a worldwide holiday would be irresponsible and silly, but then again, why not? Who doesn't need a little more silliness in their day to day lives?

Uhm, so, yeah.

I love when large signs like this have relatively obvious typos that go unchanged for months and months and months.

I've decided that, three or four times a week, I'd like to drink a small glass of red wine (finishing off one bottle per week). I'll drink late at night when I'm sitting on the couch to watch a little TV (typically around 11 or 12) as I settle down before going to bed. I've read enough good things about how a little alcohol can be overall pretty good for you, and among those, dry red wines seem to be the favored methods (and my favorite kind of wine to boot).

I'll start with two bottles (and thus two weeks) of Malbecs. I think they cost about $10 locally, which is fine. I don't think I'll ever turn into a wine guy per se, but I will probably find brands and mixes that I like. Of course, I hope to support some local wineries as well, but I think they make a lot of the sweeter wines, like pink catawba and stuff like that.

I welcome any and all suggestions and comments. Maybe there's a reasonable "wine of the month" or "wine of the week" club out there.

This helped to make my afternoon quite fun.

Malkin's second of three goals (for a hat trick) in an 8-1 Penguins victory.

Last one on Mountain Lion for awhile. Promise.

Ten exciting system changes in Mountain Lion:

1. Sharing, sharing, everywhere (meh)
2. Many computers, one account (Does that mean I can sync Keychains again?)
3. iCloud-y documents (meh)
4. Screen sharing: Now with draggable files (Good. I'll use that.)
5. Multi-disk backup (Can't hurt. I should get another disk.)
6. One-stop software updating (eh, okay)
7. Accessibility (didn't even care enough to type the whole title)
8. Picturesque screen savers (meh, I turn the screen off when I'm away)
9. Gesture simplification and key commands (I always like good key commands)
10. Dashboard gets some love (meh)

Overall: meh. Whatevs.

From MacWorld:

1. Inline Find - Great
2. Notifications in rules and selective notifications - Awesome
3. VIPs - Woohoo!
4. No more RSS - Took 'em long enough!

Love all the changes.

P.S. Get Cyndicate for your RSS reading.

I love commercials with entrepreneurial kids. I was always selling things as a kid - homemade pot-holders, baseball cards in my neighborhood, ice cream social tickets, candy bars - and was quite good at it.

Jesper has some good points about the loose ends Apple has yet to answer.

Daniel Jalkut asks Apple to Fix the Sandbox, which isn't really Mountain Lion specific, but is still looming¹. I'm not keen on his suggestions, but they started a discussion so they're valuable for that alone.

Of course, this post from Wil Shipley is still worth a read (or a re-read).

Macworld has a Hands On with Gatekeeper.

Tidbits has some more details on how Gatekeeper works. Apparently you will be able to install unsigned software via allowing it in a contextual menu.

FWIW I don't pirate things. I sell software, so I think it'd be incredibly hypocritical to steal things while expecting others to pay me for awesome software.

That said, I no longer watch DVDs anymore, either, and were I to begin pirating, I'd probably start with DVDs. Disney - though they seem to love the "unskippable" sections - at least gives you the Blu-Ray, DVD, and the digital version of the movie when you buy it.

P.S. Most of the movies we watch we do so at the dollar movie theater, which costs as much as $2 during peak days and times.

Rivet is dead, so what is the recommended software now for streaming movies (mostly movies, maybe some music) from your Mac to your PS3 and XBox 360?
