Fucking finally.
I blame Google for keeping it alive. But I'm sure some dude is going to keep it going. Fuck those guys. And fuck Google for keeping it alive. THppppttt on Android for pretending to.
Adobe, let me know where you bury it so that I can merrily dance on the grave!
Again, I blame Google.

R.I.P.
Robert Osborne, the host of my favorite channel, Turner Classic Movies.
I really only got into watching classic movies once I became a big fan of Barbara Stanwyck about 10 years back. I usually leave TCM on and he would pop in an out introducing movies. He wasn't around for some time in the last year, and now to find out that he was ill and has died is sad.
I hope the movies you watch in heaven are all in black and white.

Hashimoto Nanamin is graduating from Nogizaka46 in February next year, and I feel sad. Another of member of my favorite idol group leaving. This one is tough to take as she is returning to her private life and no longer partaking in the Japanese entertainment industry. Once she's done she's done.
I am selfish in that I want her to stick around. Or at least be available as an entertainer. I don't want to lost track of her. But that is stupid selfish talk.
She deserves what she chooses. She brought her fans so much joy that we she wish gets it back as much.
I wish her well when she graduates.

He starred in many funny movies, but will always be memorable for me as being the star of one of the earliest R rated movies I saw in the theatre.
Stir Crazy was some afternoon matinee my mom took me, my younger brother, and younger cousin to see at the old Timonium 4. There was a lot of swearing. And some boobs. I'm not sure if I got it all at the age of 9, but I knew that the film wasn't meant for young kids. I'm not complaining, there was some boobs, but I'm not sure if I laughed at the entirety of it all.
(And of course he was Willy Wonka - someone tell Johnny Depp that.)
R.I.P. Gene Wilder.

RIP Champ.
Muhammed Ali is dead. The greatest of all time. Cassius Clay.
Let me share with you the story of the time I met him. I was but an undergrad at the U and was finishing up my junior year. I was the camera man on a student documentary about Midnight Basketball, a night league in the inner city of Miami to keep juveniles on the straight. We were done most everything and the director was putting the film together. He had some contacts such that when the sponsor came to town, he finagled us a meet up with the sponsor. Turns out it was Muhammed Ali. We met him in a downtown hotel after he had given a speech to a GIrl's and Boy's club. It was only a few minutes. We got pictures and autographs. I still have mine -- framed. It is on a Nation of Islam brochure. I never got the picture because I forgot to meet up with the director before he graduated. Somewhere there is a photo of me getting knocked out by the Greatest.

The world just found out that
Setsuko Hara has died. Ozu's muse, she was prominently linked with the great director in the 'Noriko trilogy': Late Spring, Tokyo Story, and Early Summer -- some of the greatest of Ozu's films. She was that elegant, demure Japanese woman on screen. Later on in life she was a recluse and very private. So it doesn't come as a shock to find out she died back in September. It is only being reported now. Sad.

Adios and thanks for all the fun driving.
I traded her in for a truck. It's my first time riding high on a gas guzzler. The new one's different. It's a boy. Tommy.
I may be making a mistake here. We'll see in a few months what will be happening to the bank accounts. I'm already sad that I no longer drive a Volkswagen. I've been driving in one for my whole driving life. Now I'm not, and I have this big truck. What!
Good bye good girl. It's been fun...

Why'd I put a link of the day that doesn't resolve to anything of use? It's a farewell to a faithful old friend. It's perhaps the only software I use on a daily basis. More so than Twitter, because I don't really tweet from work. I do read RSS and it was Google Reader. Now, it's gone, and it's time to find something new. Sayanora good buddy. May the bit bucket treat you well.

I'm gonna have to find a new browser. There will be no more Camino development. What am I going to use on the TiBook? I need a somewhat modern browser for Leopard. Camino was it. Now it is done. Relegated to the bit bucket in the sky. Maybe I should start using Safari more.

It would be remissed of me to not mention the death of The Doors keyboardist, Ray Manzarek. I happen to be in the same country he died in over this past week. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that much of my youth was conducted with his organ and keyboard as the background music. If pressed hard, I could probably remember the song order of all 5 Doors LP. The middle two, too.
Dance on fire until the end. Music is your only friend. Until the end.
RIP Ray.

The last bit of Google I use will disappear in July. No not Snapseed Desktop for Macintosh, but Google Reader. I've been a user since its introduction. I've always used it for reading websites at work -- it makes it easier to visit blocked sites and to look like your working and not visiting websites. But now its gone.
Go Argo yourself Google. You can't put ads in my RSS reader, so now you want to stop the fun. Oh well, I've got to find an alternative. Anyone know some type of replacement?
