What I Do

It should be apparent from this site, that I don’t sit around at home everyday. so what do I do? This:

That’s the game I spent the last couple of years making, it’s out in about a week, and I think it’s pretty damn good.

NiggyTardust

If you haven’t already, head on over and sample The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust. It’s a pretty solid album, and it’s like getting a quarter of a NIИ album too!

Writers on Strike

The writers came out of that meeting like Rocky Balboa — eating lightning and crapping thunder. After weeks of speculation and rhetoric, this was it. Writers formed their legions, shields covering them from shoulder to ankle, imagining the producers as Persia’s most elite warriors doomed to build a corpse wall outside Thermopylae. #

You go girl! Oh, and some insight on behalf of Lost:

From all appearances, Lost may have the best advantage of all series, given that it has been stockpiling new scripts since June and not a single episode has yet aired. At this point, 14 of 16 episodes have been written. And if the strike does last long enough to really affect other series, Lost could very well be the only quality scripted dramas on television in February (along with perhaps 24, though it’s far more behind in its scripts due to a major overhaul of location and storyline). #

And finally a word from John August:

I’m contracted on two scripts right now, but they’ll be sitting unopened in their folders until the strike is resolved. I have a deal to write a spec for Fox, but that will also have to wait. Pencils down means pencils down. I’m not writing any features or television until there’s a contract. #

Keyboard Shortcuts in New Gmail

Most of the keyboard shortcuts were previously available with the Gmail Macro Greasemonkey scripts (or through the Better GMail extension which we’ve reviewed before), but now even users without Greasemonkey can use the shortcuts. #

Hallelujah! Bring it on!

For now the changes will be limited to Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 7 users, though Google will be adding additional browser support as time goes on.

Boo! Hiss! Can we please get some love for Safari? Firefox on OS X is slow as molasses!

GTAIV

Grand Theft Auto IV

Yeah, we’re back in the D of the K, resting our feet and recovering from jetlag. Anyway, I thought I’d share the above photo of a recently completed ad we happened to pass. Cuz let’s face it; it kicks ass.

Recovering JPG’s

Two entire days, comprising around 3 – 400 photos from New York were crunched by iPhoto. The thumbnails are recoverable, but despite being listed properly, sizes and everything, they’re all corrupted.

Help?

More: I’m using iPhoto ’08, and it is the JPG’s themselves, inside the iPhoto Lbrary package that are broken.

Solution: Exif Untrasher helped me recover the deleted files off of the memory card, getting me back one of the two lost days.
