BBEdit 8.0
I use a Mac at home. I love the Mac, and today, Bare Bones Software has released BBEdit 8.0. This is "Software that doesn't suck." On each and every platform that I use I am always looking for the text editor that meets the standards set by BBEdit. On the Unix workstations, we used emacs. I got used to it. Sometimes, I would launch a file in vi just to get comfortable with the "more weird than emacs" keystroke combinations. Shift-Z-Z? On PCs, I quickly abandoned TextPad and WordPad looking for a BBEdit port. No such luck. The closest so far has been VisualSlickEdit. It is still no BBEdit.

Run out and get the latest version of the best piece of software ever written.

September is News Radio Quote Month
Shamelessly stealing from the ingenuously named A Perfectly Cromulent Blog, I have decided that every post in September will have a quote from the under-appreciated News Radio. Hopefully, this will jump start my blogging as I have slowed down during the past month. I don't think that the quote will match up with the post, but I'll try. Stop in next month and join in my remembrance of the greatest sitcom ever.

Holding out for a Hero
Another weekend and another movie. This time it was the Chinese epic, Hero. If you loved Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, then this one is for you. A blend of martial arts, Chinese history and a star-crossed love story, Hero goes for all. I rather liked it, but why are these things so melodramatic.

4 of 5 stars.

Garden State
On Monday, I caught Zack Braff's Garden State at the local cineplex. I knew it to be a small, personal, independent-minded film, but I also thought it was supposed to be a comedy. Not much to laugh at, but then it wasn't supposed to be a true comedy. It was another small, personal independent film. Like they all are. I haven't seen one like since the great indy film boom of the early 90s. As an indy film, it is mediocre at best. I think I have seen it before. Anyway, the only thing of note that I left with from the movie is that George Lucas needs to apologize to Natalie Portman for sticking her in that wooden role of Princess Amidala. He needs to be punched in the nose. Can someone do it?

3 of 5 stars.

Our President (sigh) or the guy who is occupying the white house
Here are two links which sum up my opinion of the president perfectly. Josh Marshall and Matthew Yglesias take down the silly man in the white house better than I could ever have done. Marshall portrays the president as a man of low moral courage. He lets others do the dirty work for him. I agree. It fits the man who has hardly earned things on his own. Yglesias portrays the president as a man of low intelligence. He is not actively engaging his intellect when trying to define his policies. Marshall's portrait of the president is a direct consequence of the lack of brains that the president has exhibited.

I am done my political rant for the week.

Toogle
Toogle a cool use of Google photos. Conducts a search for an image, and then uses the search term to create an ASCII version of the search result.

Site search
Blogger just added a neat-o tool bar up top. It has a site search. That's good, so I just commented out the Google search in the sidebar. Use it to search my site for some more of my posts.
