Foolishly attempted to go to the new Academy of Science with the kids this morning. At least a 2hr. wait (if not more). #sf Bailing on that.
OK, new design theme is up. I decided to do tweaks live. So more to come. Let me know what you think: http://www.creative-toolbox.com/
Building out a new theme design for Creative Toolbox for the new year and all… change ‘09.

Wow, it looks as if Sackboy grew up and got his own feature film: http://tinyurl.com/8xrd5b
iPhone apps are now showing up on the Mac Giving Tree. Not free though. http://givingtree.macheist.com/
Getting some Little Big Planet in with the family. Crazy how they can go from having tons of fun to total frustration with one another.
I’ve been playing through Uncharted again. What a fun, great game. Bummed that I have to wait until Fall ‘09 for Uncharted 2.

SF weather makes it feel very omnious today. Gloomy and surreal. Reminds me of Children of Men.
OK, work must be getting me. I was dreaming of noting issues on our whiteboard. Now I wonder if they were real issues though.

I upgraded the firmware on my Samsung HDTV. It’s weird that you can patch these kind of appliances now. I don’t know if I like the idea.

Sorry the iPhone app is actually called TwitterFon and from what I can tell it’s just as good as the $3 Tweetie.
TwitFon has been moved to my first screen and Twitterific has been moved to my third. Sorry Twitterific.
Oh Amazon Prime, how you help me with my procrastination.
I ended up watching Pee Wee’s Big Adventure twice today. But it’s great to go back and watch Tim Burton’s first movie. Danny Elfman’s too.

All done with the WP 2.7 upgrade. No plug-in or theme incompatibilities. Yes! Thought I seriously need a new theme for the new year.
OK, here we go. Upgrading Creative Toolbox to WordPress 2.7. Hopefully the last time since I read 2.7 has auto-updating.
All my clever software updates and changes have turned against me today. Arrrgh!
Farewell Betty. We’ll miss you.
Sorry, no coffee yet, I meant Bettie spelled the right way. http://tinyurl.com/5nzzfw
This movie looks incredible: http://tinyurl.com/5akmwm not just because Jessica’s in it.
“And they call him Sandy Claws!”
Probably not a lot of people know this but Window > Merge All Windows in Safari is where it’s at (esp. since I use windows for Exposé).
Wow, I saw this site and thought it was a specially branded MySpace area: http://www.ilovedesign.com/uk/exclusives/
The actual design of ilovedesign.com seems ironic to me (not in that ironic mustache sort of way either).
i think I’m already looking to the new year when December isn’t even through yet.
If I get through two-thirds of the things I set out to do this weekend, I’ll be happy. Almost there.
We just put out some nice new features to our Blidget on Widgetbox: http://tinyurl.com/5uypec
Oh and the other Amazon app was called “Mazo”. Amazon rejected it. Makes more sense now.
“Why do we fall down…?” “to learn to pick ourselves back up.”
Amazon Remembers in the new app is amazing. Took a pic of my son’s Legos and about 20 mins. later I got an email to the product page.
Amazon finally offers an iPhone app: http://tinyurl.com/57mrnj (tho Maz was nicer).
More reactions to last night’s Terminator: http://tinyurl.com/59nzzu

Last night’s Terminator was an odd setup but the payoff of seeing the T888 with his tommy gun, waiting in the wall was cool.
Apple’s unspoken form of PR: “We’re Apple, you got your earbuds so be happy you got them at all and deal with it”.
I love how Apple releases the In-Ear buds a month after they said they would be out, include no iPhone support, and no explanation to why.
