WTF? Mirapex makes you Gamble
Mirapex is one of those drugs designed to treat problems you never knew you had, in this case, restless leg snydrome. Buyer beware, however:
There have been reports of patients taking certain medications to treat Parkinson’s disease or RLS, including MIRAPEX, that have reported problems with gambling, compulsive eating, and increased sex drive.
Um. Okay. Seems like a little toe-tapping would be worth it. Can’t argue with that last one though.
iPhone Wallpaper
So, I held out two weeks, but then I had to do it. I got an iPhone on Monday. I’ve got a long list of quibbles, but as usual, Apple didn’t fuck up.
Anyway, thought I’d share my fantastic wallpaper 🙂
Not only will you have the must-have phone, you’ll be the only one around sliding your finger across a goat’s tongue.
Cheap Mac Goodies: The MacUpdate Bundle
MacUpdate has a “bundle” which has the unique feature of unlocking additional applications depending on the number of sales.
The $49 bundle includes GraphicConverter, Fetch, iWOW, GarageSale, Cocktail, ProfCast, and Amadeus Pro as the first 7 apps. It’s a good deal at that price, but at 2500 sales (almost there), Little Snitch is unlocked, 4000 includes Intaglio, and at 9999 TechTool Pro gets included.
I have my doubts 10k sales will get hit, but even at the 2500 level, it’s a good deal for some great apps — especially iWOW for iTunes (great sound enhancer, although Volume Logic is still my fav), the geeky tuning tool Cocktail, and swiss army knife of images, GraphicCoverter (something I’ve considered essential for at least a decade.) Little Snitch will likely be unlocked, an invaluable tool for you paranoid types worrying about apps “phoning home.”
Why am I pimping it? Mostly because it’s a good deal, although I have my quibbles about these bundles and if they actually benefit developers fairly. But, providing these heavy-weight anchors at the higher end does provide ample incentive.
And all this despite MacUpdate going wingnut Christian a few Christmases ago. Yet I still use ’em, as they’re much better than that other update directory.

Craigslist: no IKEA option plz
For sale is now separated by owners/dealers, cool and all, but it sorely needs a 3rd filter: No Fucking IKEA. It’s inescapable pressboard land now.
At right: some sad fag chases after $15 for the 2nd week in a row.
Fabulous San Mateo
…went for lunch in San Mateo and found a wig palace and some chicken poop. Good times.

What’s this eyefone everyone keeps talking about?
And I overheard something about the rapture dropping at 6p tomorrow?
Reversal of Fortune
How is it that installing Safari 3 on Windows doesn’t require a restart, yet on Mac OS X it does? (And even the point release to 3.0.2) Isn’t that bass-ackwards?
While I could investigate and find out why, I’ll cop to being far too lazy. Anyone know what low-level voodoo requires a restart? Another extension special where it makes all things Apple priority #1 for the kernel?
Granted, the install process on Windows involves 72 different steps, so time-wise it might be a draw, including the Mac OS X reboot, but the last time I rebooted my computer was like 45 days ago.
At least I don’t have to track down anymore weird Safari bugs anymore cuz Techcrunch trashes us… I knew they were fixed in WebKit many months ago, and when Apple delayed Leopard I thought i’d have to track it down and squash it, but then they went and released Safari 3 beta saving me much pain while lacking a debugger. But they stepped up and gave both — a public release of a new Safari and a debugger. Thanks guys, I knew you were listening to me. 🙂
Woohoo! Revel in my wealth!
After nearly 15 months of Google Ads, looks like I’m finally gonna get cut a check.
Was it worth it? Fuck no. But.. it’s $100 I didn’t have last month.
How much do I rock? Apparently about 21c a day worth.
