• The Show with Ze Frank
  If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “Self, I sure wish the Daily Show was shorter, weirder, and had more of a propensity for poop jokes,” then The Show just may be for you. Sports Racers unite!

• Manly Men of The Manly Bush Era of Manliness
  Yes, I did grow up in Amherst. Yes, I’m a little more ashamed of that fact now than I was before.

Thanks to the magic of the off-season, Bryan and I are taking a long weekend trip to Niagara Falls. We’ll be staying at the Embassy Suites Niagara Falls (which, you’ll be pleased to know, has a “Suite View of the Falls”) in one of the fancy Fallsview Suites. With a jacuzzi!

As part of our 2-Night Package, we even get two complimentary alcoholic beverages each evening. Which will no doubt serve to make the trip all that much more lovely.

To prepare for the trip, I’ve enlisted Googleism to help me learn about Canada. For example, I have learned that Canada is dangerous, Canada is a flax leader, and Canada is very concerned about the continuing sale and use of illegal satellite decoding equipment. You don’t say!

Now that I know all about Canada, I’m ready to go have some fun, eh! (Oh, come on, you know I couldn’t write a whole entry about Canada without an “eh” joke. That would be like a certain someone I know going a whole day without talking about farts. Or poop. Or cheap booty.)

  Cutest Adium Dock Icons of all time and space. They’re so adorable I can hardly stand it.

  Incredible comment by loquacious on MetaFilter. Just read it. It’s worth your time.

  Pretty awesome conspiracy theory. Everyone, throw away your iPods now!

In addition to being a lazy-ass loser, one of the reasons I haven’t been blogging lately is called Deanach OSX.

It’s a port of Deanach3 for Windows to the Mac that I’ve been working on (with Anubis from MacThemes Forums) for, oh, the last four months or so. Theming OS X is insanely time consuming, because there are exactly thirteen-bajillion elements to skin. I’m not kidding. I counted. And by counted, I mean… approximated.

Today, however, I am freed from the time-consumingness of this theme (well, except for the bug-fixing and tweaking). It’s finally released, and the reactions have been good. Finishing a project of this magnitude and having people like it feels quite nice.

For as much as I enjoy pixel hacking, I’m definitely going to wait a bit before diving into a new theme. The amount of time sucked down by creating (or even porting) a theme is rather insane. Plus, Bryan gets tired of me constantly having my nose in ThemePark and Photoshop.

To celebrate Deanach’s release, we’re going out to eat with Bryan’s friend Sandra tonight. Actually, dinner has nothing to do with Deanach. But I can pretend that it does, because I’m a dork like that!
