Speaking of shelves. Here’s a link to every Mac addicts favorite cataloguing software. I bought the first version and the upgraded to the second. I also bought the iPhone app before it was removed from the store for violating stupid Amazon.com’s TOS.

Use it to keep inventory of all your books, DVDs, manga, comics, anime, etc., etc.. I like that it has shelves to display your stuff. You can use your iSight to scan in the barcode to lookup on Amazon.com the item. It does com in handy.

That iPhone app is a great looking app. The desktop version is fun too.

Vampires! Why does it always have to be about vampires?I can't stand them. Reading about them. Watching movies about them.
Even talking about them.Yet, here's an interesting op-ed co-written by the director, Guillermo
del Toro. He writes about the roots of the vampire. I didn't make it
to the end, before I decided to throw this up so that you can tell me of
how cool vampires are. They're no.Ghosts are my thing. The make the hair on my arms stand on end. Give
me a good ghost tale.http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/31/opinion/31deltoro.html

UPDATE: More for your vampire lusting.

A few weeks back, me and Marge from the FishTank went to catch Seattle at Baltimore down at the yard. We got very good seats. The best ever.

I went, because I wanted to see two future Hall of Famers, Ken Griffey, Jr. and Ichiro. Although, Griffey is no longer the kid, and he did not have a good outing, going 0 for 3 with a walk (I think), it’s still good to see the last of the great Mariners play. Then there is Ichiro. Ichiro! He’s awesome. He hit a double that looked to be a homer into deep right center. There’s no one who’s a better hitting machine than him. And he’s got a cannon for an arm. He threw a frozen rope from the corner in right field to home plate. Wow! Ichiro!

The home team lost that night, but it was a fun time.

I wore my Ichiro jersey and cheered for him whenever he was up. On the way home, Seattle fans were cheering. One of them saw my jersey. He looked at me and began to cheer again, “Mari-?” He saw my Orioles cap. “Hunh?” The look of confusion on his face was priceless. “WTF?!”

Anyway, watching Ichiro play is just about the best thing in baseball.
