Ports

For all you Mac heads, programming nerds, and code monkeys read this article about porting BBEdit from PPC to x86 for the big, unfortunate Apple switch to Intel. Interesting stuff. The most being that it took them 24 hours to make their app cross-platform! Guh!

And that is why BBEdit rulez! As well as programming for the Mac. I need to get on the bandwagon.

Amazing Race: Family Edition Almost there.

It has been a while since I posted about the Amazing Race. Even though this one is not as fun as the other times, I still like the concept and the show. YeeHaw! I can’t stand those Weavers. They are going to win and when they do they shall praise god and heaven. I don’t want to hear it.

This season has not have the jump up and down feel to it. I think it has to do with them driving all the time. There’s no taxis. There’s no trains. There’s no planes. Too much automobiles. They should’ve taken AmTrack somewhere. That would’ve been cool.

Is this true?

Derailed

Derailed. The main character is portrayed by Clive Owen. I have seen a lot of his movies and upon further viewing I realized that I can’t stand this guy. He makes me not like him. Every character he plays is a schmuck including King Arthur.

If you have seen plenty of movies, this film will not surprise you. It basically writes itself. The twist wasn’t even a twist and you could’ve guessed it 30 minutes in. Maybe they should’ve gotten an even less familiar face to be the villain. Or maybe they should’ve offered the roles to Eric Roberts and Shannon Tweed, because this felt like a direct to Skin-a-max movie. Now that I would’ve not minded to see.

2 of 5 stars.

First iTunes video bought

I saw that Pixar just released Knick Knack on the Apple Music Store. I bought it for $1.99. I don’t know why.

I had orignally seen it at one of those animation festival films back in college. I still remember how sweet it was to see.

Computer animation has come along way.

I don’t think I’ll be planning on buying anymore videos for a while.

Snow

Whitetail and Liberty look to be starting to blow snow this week. Tonight we’ve had flurries.

I can’t wait to ride.

La villa de familia en espana

The house in Spain owned by my parents and their friends. This is where we plan to have a vacation next summer. Planning. The question is will that come to fruition?

If you need a place to stay or plan a vacation contact the owners about this place. They’ll give you a good deal.

Another dumb blog thing

The Movie Of Your Life Is A Black Comedy

In your life, things are so twisted that you just have to laugh.
You may end up insane, but you’ll have fun on the way to the asylum.

Your best movie matches: Being John Malkovich, The Royal Tenenbaums, American Psycho

If my life were this type of movie it would suck. And it’s not that great right now. I could not stand Being John Malkovich. Never could sit through The Royal Tenenbaums. American Psycho scared me. If it’s supposed to be funny, I am not laughing.

I wish I turned out to be some kind of romantic comedy.
