I was inspired to write this after reading dick’s gripe about 1st person shooters. Because I feel his pain, and no one should have to put up with that (crap).
But first, of course, the digression:

When did this happen?
Late Night Bullshit
i'd rather be anywhere anywhere i can run to anywhere that's dark secluded any place at all anywhere i can count an endless string of worries anywhere you aren't and they aren't i can make it all STOP. (i can't...) just wanted you to know that i think about you and in the soft glow of a computer monitor my face looks sunken, sallow as i rattle off this self-indulgent poetry casting myself as the nostalgic hero who never worries and always feels good about things who is perpetually 22 and everything to you.
OmniOutliner to iCal Script
I wrote this script to export an OmniOutliner list into iCal as a list of To Do items. I’ve used iCal off and on, and it’s not great, but it does currently hook into the syncing system of OS X. OmniOutliner is infinitely more usable in my mind, and lets you work the way you want to.
The primary motivation for this script is to let me sync my to do list to my phone, which only syncs through iCal. I’m sure others might find other uses for it. If you like it, have a suggestion, etc., leave a comment or send an email.
I’m a Gesture Junkie
So today I watched Minority Report that bear lent to me and noticed, apart from that Philip K. Dick liked to write stories about future prediction, the computer interface Tom Cruise used was reminicient of what Keanu Reeves used in Johnny Mnenomic, only without the goggles. That is, not only did they use their hands as if they were a computer mouse, but gestures were added that performed functions you’d normally find in some hotkey or drop-down menu list. I really think that this kind of interface (albeit rather exaggerated in the movies to be efficient), along with voice commands, is the future. Except, they aren’t the future at all. Gestures are already here.
Quizard
Hey people, I'm the Wizard of Quiz I know all the answers to make you flip your lids. Smoking toadstools or drinking dry limes I'm the Quizard who quizes your rotting minds. Non-stop, my questions for fetid thought under the bazar, Ooo! Look! What's that trinket on the blanket to be bought? But please take care and do beware: for this is just one fun question of mine, among 10 zillion for the brain's fizz cauldron.
Squidicus Leviticus
Squidicus Leviticus stayed up too late looking at the clock one eyed when rather lurid he decided the clock was a plate. Then he slept, and while he did, all the roman numerals loosened and trickled Leviticus past, I, III, V, just about that fast. Till from his slumber he jarred eyed wide to stop his watch in a tear cried, "This plate is Death, for goodness sakes!"
L RON
I M L RON from ancient stars, now may I borrow your IRON for my new blue shirt, I am serious not IRON IC (SIC) for I dream from B-YOND B-WARE what the seer sees in false light, for the Solar System is Solar Powered.
Nintendo Midis
As per bear’s request, I checked out the possibility of converting NSFs to Midi format, specifically the Spelunker theme for his cell phone. After quick consulting with my Minibosses friends I found there is quite a nice app for that called nsf2midi that not only does a great job of aproximating the sound from the NSFs, but also lets you tweak everything from there. For example, when converting the Spelunker theme it set a closed high-hat or something instead of a snare, but I was able to just change all that with a drop-down menu. So, if anyone needs a conversion, it looks like I’m open for business.
Morty the Mortician
Morty
the
Mortician
was a kind
of a beautician
who
slurred
his words
cause he needed of
a SpamSieve,
not a liver,
to filter the
whiskey rye,
and when grandfather
died,
my mother
was
absolutely
mortified
when old Morty said,
“No one gives
two hoots
about stuff like nutrition
when you go to the
palace in the sky”.
