Meet the Robinsons - Relatively clean humor and plenty of humor that appeals to adults as well. A good message for young'uns. Nice animation, interesting characters, and a good sci-fi/reality mix. RT

The Barnyard - Excessive potty and slapstick humor (probably 95% of the humor in the movie). An obfuscated message. Horribly unrealistic and downright counter-educational: male cows with udders that walk upright? RT

Cyndicate will be released on August 1. All that means is that I've got a lot of work to do on Sunday writing the user guide. 🙂

The results of the 2007 EDGA Mid-Am have been posted. I shot 84 in the first round, then came back with a 76 in the second round, including what were "almost" three-putt bogeys on the last two holes (the first putts were from off the green, and both had good speed but a bad line). I putted really well all day, missing only about four putts inside of ten feet and holing a good percentage of my putts outside of ten feet.

I should have worked harder at trying to score a practice round of some kind. The first round was the first time I'd seen Kahkwa in 12 years. A pair of 76s would have put me in 11th place.

In the Finder, if I select all the items in a list view, how can I de-select all the items and select only the top or bottom item? I can type a few letters, and the "clear" button near my number pad seems to work, but why don't the up and down arrow keys? This tactic works in apps like iTunes.

I sometimes wish I had a few of these cards handy, but I would only use them in really bad cases (unlike many of those in the gallery), and even then I'd be too chicken to use 'em.

Spread the love, not the hate, people. But get a good laugh where you can, too. 🙂

Does anyone get haircuts at home? I don't know a hairdresser, but Carey and I are considering buying one of those machines (like the "Flowbee"). My current barber almost never cuts my hair as short as I like and he never gets the fade in the back correct, and I'd rather not pay $15 to go to a general stylist.

Carey and I watched some home-flipping show on HGTV. A woman there claimed her job title was "Director of First Impressions" for a few Nashville-area radio stations.

In other words, she's a receptionist. 😛

"Freedom Writers" gets four stars (out of five) for me at NetFlix. I like a good teacher story as much as anyone. I particularly liked the reactions of the doubter woman (Mrs. Campbell in the movie). I also didn't know that Miep Gies was still alive (she housed Anne Frank).

Meanwhile, "Big Nothing" (for Carey) was absolutely dreadful. Ugh.

It appears I tee off at 8:24 on Monday in the EDGA Mid-Am at Kahkwa. Not that anyone cares, but my handicap has dropped two strokes this year to a 3.1. I've had a few rounds in the 1.x range and a few others in the 2.x range. My ballstriking has improved, my driving is fairly consistent, and I've picked up both distance and height with my irons. My putting has improved.

Perhaps the only thing that's gone downhill is my short game - 100 yards and in - because the promised short game area at Lake View will never be built (despite the money having been collected for it in assessments) and the short game area at Whispering Woods does not yet exist. I haven't really had the chance to practice those wedge shots all year, and it shows at least a few times per round.

I don't expect to win, by the way, but finishing in the top half of the field would be nice.

I don't mind when people on chat clients mark themselves as away when they're really there. I sometimes do this when I don't really want to be bothered but might still want to initiate a conversation or two.

I do mind when people are marked as available and yet aren't actually there at their computer. It's frustrating to send a message "into space." Half the time the person just quits AIM or their computer (Windows) crashes before they get a chance to see any messages you've written.

If you're away, put up an away message or turn on the auto-away feature in your messenger. It's a good way to respect your "buddies."

Ecto 3 is due any decade now. I'm reminded of the glacial pace every time Daniel says something about MarsEdit 2.0.

I don't.

The past few days I've seen two movies that are probably under-rated: Breach and Shooter. It's been awhile since I saw a good sniper movie - Enemy at the Gates didn't cut it.

Jesper is starting a small campaign for Cocoa (and really all Mac developers) to be resolution independent as of November 29, 2007.

Iris (Cyndicate) is mostly resolution independent already. We have only a few small tweaks left, but our icons and things were all done in sizes up to 4x as large as the current standards.

I need to create a digitized embroidery file (".dst" file) for some embroidery work. I can have this done for me at a cost of $100, but I'm hoping someone will know of a more cost effective way to do this. I doubt there's a Mac solution available, but I'm able to run Windows XP in Parallels if necessary.

The logos are Adobe Illustrator vector formats, so naturally I can export them to other formats as well.
