Shelf 2: OmniGraffle and OmniOutliner as media library

2008-07-29T01:33:59Z

I found that none of the media library applications out there really worked well for me, so I set out to create my own solution using OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner, and Python (via appscript). Of course, it's not as friendly as something like, say, ...

How I Spent My Summer Staycation

2008-07-28T17:03:59Z

When I need to relax, I don't travel far away. I do take a few days off, but I bring video games in to the office instead of working. I still get to be around my cool coworkers, make coffee, and eat tasty meals prepared by the kitchen staff. This ...

How to feel okay about your creator-consumer relationship

2008-05-19T19:50:36Z

If I spend too long in Kinokuniya or at game sites, I actually get anxious about this stuff. Reminders to myself: 1. You don’t have to follow forever. For a couple of years, I was actually pretty up to speed with Japanese console gaming (and ...

Ar tonelico 2 has a boss key

2007-11-23T09:16:40Z

Background: So, some of the old games I played on the Mac Plus as a kid had a "boss key": some key combo you could hit to make it look like you were working instead of playing around. At a job I had in Chicago, one of my coworkers made a wallpaper...

Ar tonelico 2 first impressions

2007-11-01T18:50:31Z

It's here, it's glorious, it's in my PS2 right now. Few things can convince me to get up at 6:30 and come in to the office, but I did it today to have some hours with the game before work began. Here are my impressions, as impulsive as Croche sudd...
