Since the list of the 300+ new features in Mac OS 10.5 was published, I’ve been telling anyone who’ll listen that it seems to be a great upgrade, but not compelling enough to buy immediately.

Time Machine’s gonna be a life-saver, but who cares about the new Mail stationery? QuickLook will be marginally useful, but the semi-transparent menu is awful and the new dock really fucks me off.

Now, the new Finder is pretty interesting, the new security features are comforting, and the speed and stability improvements are… wait, was I going to say “compelling”?

Oh dear, I appear to have just bought a copy to arrive before 1pm tomorrow. See y’all on the flipside!

My CSI: Atlantis video has been dugg! Or, at least, Arc’s mirror has. But still, recognition!

This one’s for all you freaks who ever watched one of my mashups and asked, huh?

CSI: Atlantis has love from Arcturus.

Take it, bitches!

Certainly, Jesus was Gother than you.

Dudes, did you know you can download a bunch of MP3s from Adult Swim shows?

An awesome friend of mine appeared in this local 3 Mobile commercial. Wait, I mean… this isn’t the commercial. This me fucking with the commercial, because I’M SUCH A FUNNY GUY!

He really is awesome.

Red Bull + oven cleaner fumes == watching the dirt dissolve in bullet time.

It was like… awesome.

“It’s Jon“, by Jon Eccleston.

I took a photo of myself. Now I’m going to make a pizza AND THEN CONSUME IT.

You know “that guy” who hangs around a bit longer than he should do at the end of a conversation, and makes you feel kinda awkward? Or “that guy” who sends you, like, three e-mails right after each other which make NO sense at all, and you just trash them and kinda hope he stops writing?

I think I’m turning into “that guy”.

“That guy” just wants so badly to tell his friends how he feels, but he opens his mouth and nothing comes out. “That guy” isn’t so much hanging around at the end of the conversation, but is just desperately wanting to start a new one.

People think “that guy” checks into hotels for cheap sex, but would you believe he actually checks in just to have a hot shower and cry on his emo-buddy’s shoulder?

And for every attention-seeking e-mail you get from “that guy”, he wrote at least twenty others which his common sense deleted before his loneliness could take over.

One of the toughest things for me is that, outside of work, all but one or two of my friends are… well, probably not really my friends. They’re my housemate’s friends. It’s great when we’re all hanging out and having fun, then then — oh man! They want to go and do their own thing, and I realise I’m “that guy” again.

One time, I even fell in love with one of his friends. The first couple of years were easy, because I denied it had happened. But then something happened, and it kinda took over. And now, a casual e-mail to see how he’s doing takes at least an hour and five drafts to write.

The point of all this is, don’t be too harsh to “that guy”. He probably already knows he’s pissing you off and getting in the way, but he doesn’t mean it. Just be nice, and offer him a hug and a cup of coffee occasionally.

Arcturus has posted the lyrics and a copy of “Still Alive” from Portal. He’s awesome! The song is awesome! The game is awesome! ARGH GOD SO AWESOME RIGHT NOW!

Go ahead and leave me,
I think I prefer to stay inside,
Maybe you’ll find someone else to help you?

Maybe Black Mesa?
That was a joke, ha ha!
Fat chance!

“What crimes do rich people commit?”

“…stealing Concorde?”

I love working with Lucien and Becky!

Leftists have tried fervently since the 1960s to subvert American culture by promoting cultural heresies, which really only amount to a form of subversion. These cultural heresies include, but are not limited to: Radical feminism, sexual deviancy, multilingualism and atheism. ["Western Culture Worth the Fight", Nate Sherman, The State News]

Fucking multilinguals!

Found on Sorting It All Out. Reading MSDN blogs on a Sunday evening makes me hot, right?
