Link of the Day — Just click on it and you’ll be satisfied
I prefer Emacs. Vi makes you crazy especially the first time you load it up. You say how the hell do I enter text. Then you want to quit, and you'll say how the heck do I quit this program. Then you force kill the process to exit and never come back.
Plus, there are Emacs key bindings within OS X therefore the muscle memory is there while using my OS of choice.
Vi is the devil.
Are you reading The Dissolve every day for your movie fix? If not, why not? They’ve got some good writers and intriguing features. I visit it daily myself, because I like reading about movies.
So anyway, like yesterday, you’ll get another link for summer movie previews. This will help you figure out which movies to watch this summer. It’s different from yesterday because it doesn’t have any leprechauns.
Tomorrow, The Amazing Spiderman 2 opens in theaters. Well, you can catch a late Thursday night showing, if you’re up for it. Anyway, with the first big block buster coming in May, the Summer Movie Season is starting. Yet, you don’t know what to watch. Hang around BrowserMetrics for another ten years and you’ll know that BrowserMetrics does movies, and summer is move time. To help you decide, here’s the first installment of a summer movie preview from the A.V. Club. It’s funny, because it talks about Leprechaun, the horror franchise. It’s funny because Leprechaun is a funny movie franchise. It’s a leprechaun! And leprechauns are summer!
I'm a Cyclops fan myself, and reading this piece in Grantland expands on why he's the quintessential x-man. Plus it's a funny read if you know his history. I especially like the author's take on the Jean Grey/Madelyne Pryor/Emma Frost thing. I, for one, think that the Cyclops wedding arc and the Inferno arc are some of the best issues of Uncanny X-Men. And don't forget about Joss Whedon's take on Cyclops in Astonishing X-Men, which made him almost likeable. Perhaps in another "Link of the Day," I'll link the author's choice of the wors x-man ever. He hit it right on the nose with that as well, mon Cherie.

Although only a few of the billions of text editors out there, these descriptions of some of the more popular ones found on the Mac are indeed hilarious. The vi one is spot on.

Read about the early development of iPhone software. They talk about the 0g iPhone. We need more history of software development. At least, developers, please, tell your story. Perhaps on your blog…
There’s a lot to argue about on this list. Satoshi Kon relegated to the last 50? No where near the top? Please, have you seen Millennium Actress? The Incredibles should be in the top three. They didn’t even rank The Wind Rises, but put Totoro and Spirited Away in the top three. Pinnochio? I’m still steamed about Satoshi Kon’s Millennium Actress…

The Turner Classic Movies channel is celebrating 20 years. In honor of this you should take some time to watch a few classic movies that will be showing on the channel today. You should also spend some time watching it for the next month, because there will always be something good on.
It's one of my favorite channels. I would get rid of my television except for this channel.

Hurry up for those on the East Coast, these may be gone in another two hours. For those on the West Coast, enjoy for another six hours. For you on the other side of the globe, too bad.
