Lion Air

No, it's not a new airline. It's the new Lion OS.

Lots of subtle changes. Nothing earth-shattering and in-your-face at first glance.

Launchpad is a nice way to view your app list, but I don't quite get it's existence in the Dock.  That said, I would love to be able to have folders in my Dock, since on my main Macs, I have about 48 apps in the Dock.

Using multitouch gestures on the trackpad to swap between applications and workspaces is very awesome, though.

Can't play with AirDrop yet, as I don't have multiple Macs that I can put Lion on just yet.  I wonder if it's going to be a DropBox replacement.

More later.

Some things are better left uncovered

Sometimes you hear a cover and go to yourself, "hey, that's doper than Sam Perkins at Woodstock." Other times, you wonder (possibly aloud) "that no talent hack!

Believe us, it wasn't a guitar case.] Today was an example of the second. Some fool whose name I cannot even spare the mental RAM for, has covered "High and Dry" by the esteemed Radiohead. This is up there. With the worst covers of all time. Some songs just don't ever need to be covered. Like this one. And like "It's My Life" by Talk Talk. But No Doubt did a decent job with that one, although they crapped all over it with that video. This one today was bad. When you do a cover, you're supposed to bring something to it. Maybe your sound is similar to the original artist's, an

Clay and Adam are a couple of dorks.

But I certainly had nothing to do with this monstosity. Or did I?

A Sad Day

From Yahoo!: Tara Reid and Christian Slater's scary movie "Alone in the Dark," [underachieved] with just $2.5 million, finishing well out of the top 10. [...]the movie stars Reid as an anthropologist and Slater as a paranormal investigator[...] It is depressing when a deserving art film, such as Alone in the Dark fails to find the audience it deserves. The movie was a labor of love for all involved, with the actors working for scale. Directed by the visionary Uwe "Germany's Scorsese" Boll, the movie tells the heart-wrenching story of gumshoe (Slater) and the woman he loves (Tara "America's Kidman" Reid) as they fight for the future of the world against all odds. The cast is rounded out by Stephen "America's Anthony Hopkins" Dorff. The movie has also missed out on the awards season, because unfortunately, it was not released in time for Oscar consideration because everyone involved wanted to get it right, no matter how lo
