Loot
I’m rocking out to a Bose SoundDock thanks to Laura.
And I’ll be the coolest kid on the turf/field thanks to the Gaia Field Bag from my brother and sister-in-law.

Freaks and Geeks: The awesome
Laura borrowed Freaks and Geeks from a coworker. Best. Show. Evar.
This Judd Apatow dude is a genius.

Visual Studio on Parallels / Red Steel.
After installing Parallels on my MacBook Pro I installed Visual Studio C# Express to see how it would perform. Without any sort of metrics I’ll say that it seemed faster than my T60, notably compilation appeared to be much faster.
Laura rented Red Steel for the Wii. Um.. I burned through the first two levels and the entire time I was fighting with the controls. It’s not a bad game, in fact, it’s quite good for a launch title. I think that more time with the controller and more time on the cut scenes and this game would have been great. As it is, the control scheme knocked me out of the experience.

Parallels: Windows on my Mac
I have Windows XP running on my MacBook Pro thanks to Parallels.
It’s pretty cool, but feels…. odd.

Mac news that impacts me. And maybe you. But probably not. I don’t know. Maybe.
Mac News:
1. Our friend Jill just got a MacBook. Another joins the flock!
2. MacHeist is offering an excellent software bundle for a ridonkulous price. There is a fevered discussion on Gus’ site, right here.
3. CocoaBlogs is up and running, tracking the blogs of cocoa developers. I did a lot of Cocoa development this weekend.-

hooray, Jill joins the cult!

Review: A Scanner Darkly
We watched A Scanner Darkly yesterday. I suppose my review is something like; it was a weird movie that relied on the visuals far too much. I wouldn’t see it again and I wouldn’t recommend it. Maybe I didn’t get it.

Of pissant fans.
Laura and I got a chance to attend the Leafs game tonight. The Leafs started well going up 2-0 and keeping it that way for the first and second periods. The Thrashers the scored 5 goals in the third to win the game. It was an exciting game. It was marred by one thing, the pissant fans. They started booing the Leafs with about 5 minutes left. No class.

Yeah. Leafs fans are a classy bunch. Clearly spending hard earned money also buys fans the right to be dicks.

We’ll see if the Raptors fans are any better this Friday.

Unlockable Trucks you say.
It appears that Excite Truck was made with me in mind. It offers unlockable trucks and paint jobs as you progress through the game. Now unlockable content is certainly not new, but Nintendo adds one vital bit of information that hooks me. They tell me that I only need three more races or two more wins to unlock a new truck. That simple addition keeps me playing for hours.

Scary thing is…after playing that game for a few (read: 5) hours, I hopped in the car for a short road trip and was overwhelmed with disappointment that our grand am doesn’t fly through the air like the Dominator. Stupid Grand Am

Wait, the Grand Am *shouldn’t* have fire coming out of it? We need to talk.

If I did, I’m an idiot. Or you’re a liar. You’re a liar!
Ya, same dudes that did Undeclared, Anchorman and Talladega Nights.

That show is awesome. It’s all about Seth Rogan. They had one more show out too but I forget what it was called.
I’m pretty sure the guys that did this are going to be responsible for the remake of “Revenge of the Nerds” too.

You’re thinking of Undeclared, with is also great.
